DENHAM SPRINGS, GREENSBURG AND LIVINGSTON LAWYERS

You or your family member has been arrested, needs an expungement, violated probation or parole and is facing revocation, or is subject to forfeiture in Livingston or St. Helena Parishes. For a misdemeanor, your case could be heard in Denham Springs City Court, or more likely in Greensburg or Livingston. For a felony, your case will be heard in Greensburg or Livingston.

Denham Springs has one Judge who hears misdemeanor cases. Amite, Greensburg and Livingston share seven District Court Judges who hear misdemeanor cases and felony cases, after bond and arraignment have been set.

You want a divorce, custody, visitation, child or spousal support, protection from abuse, your share of community property, name change, to adopt, to interdict an impaired relative, or have been served. Family court cases are assigned to two Family Court Judges shared by Amite, Greensburg and Livingston. First, custody, child and spousal support go to a Hearing Officer. Then, if either party objects to those recommendations, your case will go to one of two Family Court Judges.

Child Protective Services (CPS) has been called about your children, your niece or nephew, or grandchildren or you have been served with a state Non-Support case. For state Non-Support cases, you will first see a Hearing Officer. If either party objects you will go before one of two Family Court Judges. If a CPS report was made in Denham Springs, the case will go to Denham Springs City Court, but more likely the case will go to Greensburg or Livingston to the Juvenile Court Judge.

You or your relative was injured or killed when rear-ended, broad-sided, or hit head on by a car or truck, treated by a negligent doctor, or bitten by a dog. Your case may be filed in Denham City Court up to $15,000 in damages, or in one of seven District Court divisions. If your damages exceed $50,000, a jury can be requested.

Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa Parish judges “ride a circuit”; in other words these three parishes jointly elect and share judges and their district attorney. Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and West Feliciana parishes, share the First Circuit Court of Appeal in Baton Rouge. If you receive an unfavorable Judgment with another attorney, your case can be appealed, quickly.
