Lawyer Jokes!

Posted in Louisiana Law at 11:13 am by morgan_allison

I love lawyer jokes.  It surprises a lot of people, but the truth is, a lot of lawyers do.  I am really not sure why that is.  When I decided to go to law school, I knew people would be telling me the lawyer jokes they knew, and I wanted to be able to beat them to the punchline, so I scoured the ‘net and learned as many of them as I could find.

At one time, I had a web-based collection of lawyer jokes, which was part of my father’s website, but is now inaccessible or lost, I am not sure.  I found a pretty good collection here, and put a link to it in my blogroll for you.

New Divorce Delays

Posted in Louisiana Law at 8:26 am by Morgan

As of January 1, 2007, you may have to wait longer than before to get a divorce.  Before the change, a married couple had to live separate from each other for six months.  Now, it’s a bit more complicated.

If you don’t have minor children, the wait is the same.  If you do have minor children, though, you will have to wait a year except in unusual circumstances.  For example, if there is an abusive situation, the wait goes back to six months.  However, just as before, an immediate divorce can be granted in cases of adultery or when a person is serving prison time for committing a felony.

Starting a New Website

Posted in Firm News at 7:32 pm by Morgan

Well, my last service provder apparently disappeared. That’s the second provider we’ve been with that simply vanished. So, we are building a new site from scratch, so it may be a while before this place is really up to speed.

We are a small law firm in Houma, Louisiana. We handle criminal, domestic, Workers’ Compensation and personal injury cases. We do things a little differently from a lot of firms. We are family oriented, and have a lot of children of the staff around here all the time. We tend to be pretty laid back and personable.

So, if you are in the need of legal services, and want to talk to someone who will really listen, I hope you give us a call and see what we can do for you.
