Southwest Louisiana Law Center, INC

Horrible experience. I am going through a divorce. I don't have a lot of income. I paid for a $100 hour consultation. The lawyer didn't even call on my scheduled appointment day. I set another consultation, he was VERY late calling me. I only have 30 minutes for my lunch break and was told that I could schedule 2 separate consultations to get my full hour. The lawyer called at the last 5 minutes of my lunch break. There's no way he could have gotten enough information about me and my situation within 5 minutes. On my next consultation day, he was late calling again. It seemed as if he didn't care for my time or my case. He kept cutting me off, not listening to my concerns, and really seemed like he didn't want to fight for me. Lawyer told me that I couldn't get spousal support or anything and that I should just let my husband take whatever he wants from me. I was also told that this law firm will work with you based on your income. ALL LIES. I was asked for a very unreasonable amount for him to represent me and he wasted my time and money. I was able to get better advice from a criminal lawyer in five minutes than I was from this man. Do not go to this place for anything related to family law. Waste of my money, time, and energy.

Go elsewhere This attorney L.R. and her paralegal R. will have you in tears. uncompassion, 45 min late appointments you just wait there and wait...spend 800 for court and ex got both children tax deduction they combined children's cases...my ex Marco Galarreta got everything including 200 dollar discount from his child support and I can't understanding why or was not explained why discount was given to him....and my attorney didn't bat or catch flies. . My 9yr son tasted beer watched naked girls, my ex ran a red light while 9yr old was in truck Left my son in truck to go play tennis for a hour and uses Netflix constantly as babysitter. Also my ex transport our 2 month old baby without car seat holding baby in front passenger seat. He has not gone to 1 school appointment or doctor or dental I do all the work he skills visitation and don't care about none of it. Tells me it's my job cause he pays me to do it. They gave us joint custody and it's a mess still. Just very passive doing minimum and I was told there are cases where she makes more so mine is on back burner cause I stopped having income. No advice on how to handle anything just emails me to submit to my ex akd provide everything the opposing attorney wants. Doesn't answer questions or makes accurtlate notes. Email after email some go unanswered and I get " Mrs..... im gonna tell you 1 last time to ...." they talk down to you and they just the middle man in the email world will not be a hitter or a batter they just catch and pass...not good would not give 1 star. 100 bucks to consult and they have you in trap by the balls.... then charge more if they see you have child support you about to get.

Might have difficulty parking when you go. We went to the County tax accessor office. Brenda at the tax assessor office was so helpful and friendly. We actually enjoyed our experience and we had dreaded going.

Waste of time and money! The $100 consultation fee allows the attorney to be late to your “telephone” appointment. It also allows them to abruptly cut you off saying they’ll have to call you back, as they were double booked and have another client waiting. Once called back the attorney’s whole demeanor had changed and he was very confrontational. And, you guessed it, if you want consultation with a more suitable attorney, that will be another $100…

Lost paperwork more than once. Others I knew that went here said they had the same issue. The longer they have your case open the more they can charge,makes sense they would do what they can,like lost paperwork, to prolong your case. Didn't fight for me. Let me get the short end of the stick. I ended up paying what I would if I would have went to a better rated lawyer. This whole experience was a nightmare. My lawyer,Alicia Hampton, didn't make me feel like she wanted what was best for me. How this was handled made me feel like she was forced and unattentive to my needs.Her paralegal was short with me on more then one occasion and even had me in tears due to her complete lack of care. Already going through divorce and custody, this place made me feel neglected and like I was nothing but an annoyance that they could get their paycheck from. I can't not express just how terrible I felt and how irresponsible they treated me. I see a few 5-star ratings here with zero comments, that can only be friends and family of the this place. There is noway this place could ever get five stars. Don't be fooled by the "low-income" motive. They are lawyers that want their money. I suggest find someone else that will be more informative and don't make their clients cry.
