My name is Lacy Smith and I am a divorce and family law attorney. I was born and raised in New Orleans. I went to Ben Franklin high school and James Madison University in Virginia. After college, I returned home to attend Tulane University Law School. I met my husband in New Orleans and we in Mid-City with our two daughters and cat.. After law school, I cut my teeth working for one of the most experienced divorce attorneys in New Orleans, Doug "Mad Dog" Howard. While there, I learned the in's and out's of divorce and family law and represented clients at the district court, appellate court, and the Louisiana Supreme Court level.. I believe in the efficiency and effectiveness of collaborative divorce and mediation. I think that an agreement prepared by the parties will leave them more satisfied than an order rendered by a judge who doesn't know the couple or their children. However, I recognize that collaboration and mediation don't fit the needs of every couple or family.. When it comes to litigation, I think that attorneys should be zealous advocates first, but reasonable negotiators when appropriate. I think that attorneys should answer their client's questions promptly and honestly. I think that the most successful attorneys are those who are most prepared; who know the facts unique to their client's circumstances; and who can apply the current law to those facts. I apply that philosophy to each client.. I only practice divorce and family law. When you hire me, you get me - not an associate attorney or paralegal who you've never met. I will personally give your case the time and attention it needs and get things done as efficiently and quickly as possible; without sacrificing results.. If there is something that I can help you with, or if you want to explore your options, contact me and we can set up a time to meet.

Twenty-two years ago while practicing general law, Joseph E. Cordell realized 85% to 90% of his clients were coming to the Cordell & Cordell firm for domestic relations help.. "During the course of that experience I couldn’t help but notice the challenges consistently facing the guys side of the table when it comes to custody, maintenance issues, and accusations of domestic violence," Mr. Cordell said. "I found in waging those fights that I enjoyed it more. So we proclaimed ourselves as a firm that devoted itself to representing men in domestic relations matters.". Fighting for father’s rights is what motivated Mr. Cordell to become a divorce lawyer for men.. "I was galvanized by guys who were my clients and trying to get primary custody of their children. Even though they were the better parent, they still couldn't get across the finish line in the courts," Mr. Cordell said. "The more frustrated I became, the more incentivized I was to help them.". Since co-founding the firm with his wife, Yvonne, Mr. Cordell and his team of more than 130 divorce lawyers have helped thousands of men going through divorce.. He is frequently featured in national media outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and CNN.

I established Norcott Legal in Boston over 15 years ago for the purpose of helping people. Initially, I operated as a general practice, representing clients with a diverse range of legal issues from family law and estate planning to personal injury and consumer protection.. As Norcott Legal progressed, my clientele changed. I began handling appeals, representing large financial institutions, and when I returned to Montana I served as Chief Legal Counsel for a state agency.. While I enjoyed representing large organizations, I missed the satisfying experience of providing personal service to individuals. So I started the next chapter of Norcott Legal, centrally located in Helena, with an emphasis on personalization and specialization rather than volume driven general practice.. I recognize people spend the majority of their time in personal and professional relationships, which present unique, complex, and sometimes emotional issues. That is why Norcott Legal is dedicated to providing curated and personalized legal solutions for clients in two exclusive practice areas: family law and employment law.. I also recognize that to provide curated and personalized service to clients, I must be readily available. To ensure I am, I limit the number of active clients I represent to 10 or less.
