Suspended Southern University law professor Dorothy Jackson is seeking $10,000 for legal work she did after drafting a will — at the school's taxpayer-supported Elder Law Clinic that she manages — that named East Baton Rouge Council on Aging Director Tasha Clark-Amar to oversee the estate of a now-deceased woman who was a COA client.

Members of Helen Plummer's family said Friday they are upset and shocked that Jackson has requested $9,000 in attorney's fees and another $1,000 in court costs for a will they have called into question, a will that an attorney for one of Plummer's grandchildren on Friday called "bogus."

"It's very upsetting. It's just real hurtful," Plummer's grandson, Dan Freeman, said in a phone interview. "It's like, ‘when does it stop?'"

Plummer's lawyer went off on BR.

Said he's dealt with corrupt officials in Metairie, but nothing like what's going on here.

She a queen. $10,000 to have a will prepared by royalty is a steal, IMO.

There are no court costs associated with a will, IIRC. I'm assuming she's requesting the money now that the will is being challenged.

ETA: Read the article. The court costs are for the succession that was started, as are the attorney fees. The court costs are what they are, but the attorney fees are outrageous for getting a succession started. It doesn't appear she's charging for the will, but rather the work done after the client passed. It's still shitty though.

Scruffy didn't pick you because you could "supposedly" fight.

He picked you and el Gaucho so that you would distract the enemies.

Perhaps a few years in the dungeon will refresh their memory.

$10,000 for a will?

My legal fees for estate planning rarely went into the 5 digit range and those were for clients with NW of 20+ million

Words can't describe the sincere desire I have for the COA mafia, Broome's entire administration, and the whole Landrieu clan to personally and professionally experience the most painful fall from their lofty positions of power imaginable.

The whole corrupted leadership in this state seems to be at a hellish tipping point right now and I am just waiting for one final blow to have the Feds swoop in and arrest freaking busloads of Louisiana politicians all the way to the top.
