Affordable Legal Solutions for Louisiana Families
Southern Legal Clinics has been a trusted name in the New Orleans legal community for over four decades. Founded in 1981, this family-owned and operated law firm was built on a simple mission: to provide high-quality legal representation that is both accessible and affordable. If you are looking to find a lawyer who treats you like a neighbor rather than a billable hour, our New Orleans office in the Poydras Center is ready to serve you. We understand that legal issues-whether it is the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a financial crisis-are among the most stressful events in life. Our team, including H. Patrick Rooney and Timothy P. Rooney, brings over 100 years of combined experience to the table. We specialize in demystifying the legal process, offering clear explanations and flat fees for many services. When you hire a lawyer from Southern Legal Clinics, you are getting a dedicated advocate who will handle your case with the confidentiality and respect it deserves.
Comprehensive Legal Services
We are a general practice firm with a focus on the legal needs of everyday people. Our primary areas of practice include:
- Estate Planning and Successions: We help families navigate the Louisiana probate process, draft wills, and establish powers of attorney to protect their assets and their legacy.
- Divorce and Family Law: Specializing in uncontested divorce, we offer efficient solutions to help you dissolve your marriage without the high cost of litigation. We also handle child support and custody consent judgments.
- Bankruptcy: If you are drowning in debt, our attorneys can help you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop wage garnishments and get a fresh start.
- Personal Injury: Representing victims of car accidents, slip and falls, and workplace injuries to ensure they receive fair compensation.
