Comprehensive Services Tailored to Your Needs
Our firm stays up-to-date with the latest developments in estate and elder law to ensure our clients receive the most effective and innovative solutions. By tailoring our services to your specific circumstances, we help you achieve your goals while minimizing stress and uncertainty.
The Legacy Navigation Meeting is designed to help you build a clear plan to protect you and your loved ones. You'll meet one-on-one with an attorney who specializes in estate planning and administration. With nearly 40 years of combined experience, our team can guide you through everything from simple wills to trusts, healthcare directives, and advanced tax planning. Most meetings last about an hour to an hour and a half — enough time to walk through your options and answer every question you have.
Most Legacy Navigation Meetings take place via Zoom or telephone, so there's no need to travel. If you prefer to meet in person, we welcome you at our Baton Rouge, New Orleans, or Lake Charles offices, subject to availability. Please note that all document signings must take place in person at this time.
Your LNM should include anyone involved in the decision-making process — a spouse, partner, or trusted advisor. If you're unsure who should attend, we're happy to help you figure that out. As for what to bring: nothing. We gather all the information we need ahead of time, so you can walk in focused on your goals, not paperwork.
Your $450 consultation fee covers the work your attorney does before you ever walk in the door — reviewing your information and arriving prepared with personalized strategies. Unlike free consultations at other firms — where you may meet with a non-attorney, or spend the meeting just answering questions — we invest that time in advance so your meeting is spent moving forward, not starting over.
Whether you're coming to us for succession and probate work, interdiction, or long-term care planning, our process remains the same. Your initial meeting may be called a Legacy Guidance Meeting or Legacy Care Meeting depending on your needs — and consultation fees may vary accordingly. If your situation is urgent and can't wait two weeks, we will do everything we can to accommodate you sooner, though an additional fee may apply.

Why Legacy Estate & Elder Law
Peace of Mind at Every Stage of Life — Your Legacy and Loved Ones, Protected
We know that people who seek our services are often in difficult situations or facing tough decisions. With nearly 40 years of combined experience, we guide our clients through the legal maze. We share the concerns and burdens of our Elder Law clients caring for a loved one, counsel our estate planning clients on preserving the family harmony that is so easily lost upon disability or death, and comfort our probate clients after the loss of a loved one so they will experience peace of mind knowing their legacies and loved ones are always protected.
Board-Certified Expertise
Our attorneys are certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization as Estate Administration Specialists — a credential earned by fewer than 1% of Louisiana attorneys. This means you receive expert-level guidance, not general practice. We know the nuances of Louisiana succession and elder law so you don't have to.

You Contact Our Office
Our Client Services Coordinator will warmly assist you during your first call — gathering basic information to determine if our firm is the right fit for your needs. This call typically takes 10–15 minutes.
You Complete the Legacy Navigation Worksheet
After scheduling, we'll send you a confirmation email along with a Legacy Navigation Worksheet. We ask that you return it 3 days before your appointment so our attorneys can review your situation and begin outlining options for you.
You Make a Decision
At the close of the meeting, your attorney will share their recommendation(s) so you can choose the plan that's best for you — on your terms, with no pressure.
We Schedule Your Legacy Navigation Meeting
Once we confirm our attorneys can serve you, we'll schedule a Legacy Navigation Meeting (LNM) at a time that works for you — typically about 2 weeks from your initial contact. A consultation deposit is collected at scheduling.
We Prepare and Present
At your LNM, your attorney will walk you through the options available to you, explain why a particular plan is a good fit, and give you ample time to ask questions. A quote will also be presented during this meeting in most cases.
