At Pelican Law, we take pride in offering expert family law services tailored to the unique needs of Louisiana families.

Child Custody and Support
Child custody and support are critical components of any family law case, and Pelican Law understands the importance of protecting both parents’ and children’s rights. Our attorneys work to negotiate fair child custody arrangements, keeping in mind the welfare of the children. We also ensure that the proper child support amounts are set according to Louisiana guidelines.
Adoption and Guardianship
If you are considering adopting a child or seeking guardianship, the process can be complex and filled with legal paperwork. Pelican Law’s attorneys will guide you every step of the way, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that the process is as smooth as possible. Whether you’re adopting a child through a private agency, from foster care, or internationally, we’ll make sure the legalities are properly handled.
Personal Injury Law: Protecting Your Rights After an Accident
Injuries resulting from accidents can cause long-lasting physical, emotional, and financial hardship. At Pelican Law, we focus on helping individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or carelessness of others. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a car accident, slip and fall, or any other personal injury case, we are here to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Car Accidents and Motor Vehicle Collisions
Car accidents are unfortunately common, but the aftermath doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Pelican Law’s personal injury team is well-versed in Louisiana’s traffic laws and insurance regulations, allowing us to handle even the most complex accident cases. From gathering evidence and handling insurance negotiations to fighting for a fair settlement or trial verdict, we ensure your interests are represented.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, whether on private property or in a commercial establishment. If you were injured due to a property owner’s negligence, Pelican Law can help you determine whether you have a viable personal injury claim. We will investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident, gather evidence, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Workplace Injuries and Workers’ Compensation
If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. Pelican Law assists clients in pursuing workers’ compensation claims to cover medical bills, rehabilitation, and lost wages. We also represent individuals in cases of workplace negligence, where a third party’s actions contributed to the injury.
Wrongful Death Claims
If a loved one has tragically passed away due to the negligence of another, we understand the emotional toll this can take on your family. Pelican Law is dedicated to helping families seek justice and pursue wrongful death claims. We will fight to secure financial compensation for your loss, including funeral expenses, medical bills, and loss of companionship.
Bankruptcy Law: A Fresh Start for Your Financial Future
Financial difficulties can be incredibly overwhelming, but bankruptcy offers a path to a fresh start. At Pelican Law, we help individuals and businesses navigate the bankruptcy process with a focus on regaining financial stability. Whether you’re considering Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, our experienced attorneys will guide you through the legal complexities and help you make the best decision for your situation.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often the quickest and most effective way to discharge most of your unsecured debt, such as credit card balances and medical bills. Our attorneys will help you understand whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right option for you and assist with filing the necessary paperwork and attending required hearings.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as a reorganization bankruptcy, is ideal for individuals with a steady income who need to reorganize their debts and create a manageable repayment plan. Pelican Law will work with you to develop a strategy that suits your financial situation, and we will represent you throughout the process to ensure your rights are protected.
Debt Relief and Negotiation
If bankruptcy isn’t the right solution for you, Pelican Law can assist with debt relief and negotiation strategies. Our team will work with creditors to reduce your debt load and create a payment plan that works within your budget.
