Why Work With a Louisiana Law Consultant?
Louisiana’s legal system is unique — it’s rooted in the Civil Code, not common law.
This means:
• Statutes and case law often work differently than in other states.
• Procedural rules, deadlines, and remedies may surprise even experienced out-of-
state counsel.
• Missteps in interpreting Louisiana law can delay cases, jeopardize deals, or harm
client outcomes.
I help Birmingham businesses and attorneys bridge the gap by bringing over 21 years of Louisiana
transactional and litigation experience to your team — without you having to learn the
hard way.
Louisiana Real Estate & Title Law Consulting
Common Pain Points for Alabama Businesses Handling Louisiana Property Matters:
-
Civil Code-based property concepts (usufruct, servitudes, forced heirship).

Louisiana’s public records doctrine and unique conveyance rules. Complex title insurance underwriting requirements.
-
Foreclosure and eviction processes that differ sharply from common law states.
How I Can Help:

Louisiana Medical Review Panel Consulting
Why It Matters for Out-of-State Attorneys
If you’re handling a Louisiana medical malpractice case from Alabama or another state, the Medical Review Panel (MRP) process can be a minefield. Louisiana requires that most malpractice claims go through an MRP before filing suit — and failure to follow these rules can lead to dismissal, delays, or lost leverage in settlement negotiations.
Common Pain Points for Alabama Attorneys:
-
Unfamiliarity with Louisiana’s mandatory pre-suit process for med-mal claims.
-
Confusion over filing deadlines and how they’re tolled during the MRP review.
-
Difficulty selecting qualified panelists and navigating objections.
-
Understanding evidence submission rules — what’s allowed, what’s excluded.
-
Managing communication with the panel without crossing unauthorized practice of law boundaries.
How I Can Help:
-
Guide you through step-by-step compliance with Louisiana’s MRP statute.
-
Assist in drafting and reviewing submissions to strengthen your client’s position.
-
Advise on panelist selection strategies to ensure fairness and credibility.
-
Provide insight on how panel opinions impact litigation strategy and settlement posture.
-
Coordinate seamlessly so you stay within your jurisdiction’s ethical limits while still delivering top-tier representation.
Bottom Line:
The MRP process isn’t just paperwork — it’s a strategic stage that can shape the outcome of your case. By consulting with a Louisiana-licensed attorney experienced in medical malpractice litigation, you can avoid costly mistakes and present the strongest possible case when the panel renders its opinion.
