Wills & Trust Attorneys
Posted on 9/8/22 at 3:10 pm
Posted on 9/8/22 at 3:10 pm
Seeking recommendations on attorneys who specialize in estates, wills & trusts in the BR area. I am not interested in Laura Poche.
Our situation is very complex, and while I think a much larger law firm would benefit us, I am interested in a smaller law firm, one preferably that utilizes a paralegal, and not just necessarily a "one-man" shop who is the attorney, secretary, and paralegal.
Is Joe Mengis still practicing?

Reading comprehension clearly not strong, as Biff is with a huge firm.
Try Carla Sibile at Luckovich Law. They're a smaller shop, but handle estate planning for some pretty wealthy folks, so they can handle your complex situation.

I see they have an office in Metairie. Do you know any of the attorneys there? We need someone but preferably in Nola area.

Mengis, unfortunately, as I found out today, does not litigate.

For nola, Look up Roth Law firm and specifically Matt Treuting.

Do you have legal benefits from an employer? We did and had everything from a trust, wills, POAs, and an assortment of other legal docs done for a $50 copay.

Unfortunately, our situation isn't this simple. It involves a civil lawsuit.

Matt Treuting is great in New Orleans, as is Andrew Sullivan.

Yes, I believe so, however, I don't believe his business is civil litigation.

You need an estate litigator not a planner. Sometimes one in the same, but mostly not.

Mark Frey -- yes, he's recently merged with a big firm (Phelps Dunbar) but practiced for many years in a very small firm.
Or, if it MUST be a smaller firm: David Koch. I haven't worked with him professionally but he's smart and a good guy.

Translation: I have a fricked up situation and I want to hire the cheapest person to work on it, regardless of their competency or skill level.

My recommendation was because of a personal situation where we did what the OP tried to do and ended up with Biff anyway. Should've hired him first.
The more complex a situation, the more likely a small firm won't be able to figure it out.

This is who I would use. I've known Richard Roth a few years through mutual friends. He's a really good guy and is very knowledgeable about high income estates.
