About Us
Welcome to Scott Vicknair Law, where we are dedicated to providing exceptional legal services in the field of Louisiana probate and succession law. Our team of experienced attorneys is committed to guiding families through the often complex and emotional journey of settling estates and planning for the future. With a focus on professionalism, compassion, and efficiency, we aim to lighten our clients' burdens and deliver peace of mind during challenging times.
Our Expertise
At Scott Vicknair Law, we specialize in succession (probate) and estate law, offering comprehensive services to address every aspect of estate planning and administration. Our dedicated attorneys have assisted over 2,000 clients across all parishes in Louisiana, managing assets exceeding $100 million. This extensive experience equips us to handle even the most intricate estate issues with confidence and precision.
Our practice is built on understanding the unique nuances of Louisiana's succession laws, which differ from probate processes in other states. We guide our clients through each step, whether they are planning their estate to safeguard their legacy or navigating the legal complexities following the loss of a loved one. Our goal is to make the succession process as seamless as possible, providing clear explanations and effective solutions tailored to each client's needs.
Our Approach
Recognizing that no two cases are alike, we tailor our approach to meet the specific circumstances of each client. Whether dealing with a recent bereavement, a contentious estate dispute, or the intricacies of estate planning, we bring a problem-solving mindset to every situation. Our method often involves "reverse engineering" challenges to identify the desired outcome and work backward to achieve it efficiently.
We pride ourselves on being more than just attorneys; we are trusted advisors who listen and empathize with our clients' concerns. By fostering an environment of trust and open communication, we ensure that our clients feel supported and informed throughout the process.
