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:
  • Analyze and explain title issues under Louisiana law.

  • Guide contract drafting or review for Louisiana real estate transactions.

  • Consult on title insurance requirements, curative actions, and underwriting.

  • Offer litigation insight for property disputes or succession-related property claims.

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.

Louisiana Auto Insurance Litigation Consulting

Common Pain Points for Alabama Attorneys Handling Louisiana Auto Insurance Matters:

  • Navigating Louisiana’s compulsory liability insurance requirements and minimum

  • coverage limits.

  • Understanding Louisiana’s comparative fault system and how it impacts settlements and

  • verdicts.

  • Applying uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage laws, including

  • rejection form requirements.

  • Handling bad faith claims and penalty provisions under Louisiana’s Insurance Code.

  • Managing Louisiana’s prescriptive periods for auto-related claims — often shorter and

  • Calculated differently than in Alabama.
