Choosing a lawyer starts with understanding who will help, what the work involves, and how to begin. Field Law’s Baton Rouge office serves families planning ahead, spouses and children handling successions, and people addressing estate disputes. Explore the services below or tell us what needs attention.
Our office is at 6161 Perkins Rd., Suite 1B, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. Meetings are by appointment. Call 225-341-5270 or use the secure consultation questionnaire to tell us about the people, property, and issue involved.
You do not need to know the correct legal procedure before contacting us. For planning, describe your goals and existing documents. After a death, begin with the family circumstances, will if available, and property that needs attention. For a dispute, identify the immediate issue and any pending hearing or deadline.
We clarify representation, discuss the proposed scope and fees before work begins, and explain the information needed next. Many discussions and document exchanges can occur remotely; signing requirements and court needs vary by matter. Consultations are free. Submitting intake does not immediately schedule an appointment.
