With more than 30 years of experience, Layne M. Adams has represented countless clients in family law matters. In addition to offering services relating to wills, trusts, successions, and estate matters, Mr. Adams has been board certified as a family law specialist by the Louisiana State Bar Association.. A native of Mississippi, Mr. Adams received his Bachelor's degree from the University of New Orleans, and he received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas in 1983. He is an active member of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the American Bar Association.. Mr. Adams provides independent legal counsel for children, which demands the same undivided loyalty, confidentiality, and competent representation required for adult clients. As a "best interests" attorney, Mr. Adams provides independent legal services for protecting children's best interests.. A divorce dissolves a valid marriage for causes that ordinarily arise after the wedding ceremony. Louisiana permits fault-based divorce, as well as the popular no-fault divorce option for parties that have lived separate and apart for at least six months. Divorce can be complicated, and attorney Layne M. Adams has been guiding clients through the divorce process with compassion and practical counsel for over 25 years.

If you are in need of a skilled and educated lawyer to help with your legal needs, I have all the tools necessary to assist you.  I have been providing legal support throughout Northeast Louisiana for over 28 years.  Whatever your need is, you can count on me to fight for you and your rights.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I attended The University of Texas at San Antonio with a concentration in justice in the family. More specifically, identifying and managing the controversies and discrepancies in the role of “the family” and how a family can look and be defined differently by so many people. Though years ago, my participation helped shape my worldview and philosophy as I recognized then and now that “family” is no longer the traditional unit as it once was. While everyone may have a different approach to divorce, you have to first understand the nuances in relationships before being able to understand how those nuances may impact the journey ahead.. My goal is to work every single day towards the best possible outcome for my clients by advocating for them with integrity, tenacity and compassion. Keeping my clients informed and educated about every aspect of their legal matter are top priorities – quickly followed by my “Family First” philosophy – whatever the form of family that may be. These matters can be delicate, complicated and emotional. Whether you are going through a divorce or adopting a child, I am devoted to making positive changes and finding real solutions at every turn.. I get to know each of my clients not just by their legal matters, but by who they are as people. I strive to calm their nerves, and most importantly, ensure that they leave my office knowing they are part of a team and can rely on me to be their champion through each stressful situation.. In my downtime, I enjoy exercise, cooking, reading, and home-improvement projects. I volunteer with the Habitat for Humanity, among other charitable causes. I enjoy the thrill of a new challenge, and always strive for my best, both personally and professionally.
