    TOP NOTCH SERVICE AND PRICING. After shopping around for a…read morelawyer that could handle expungements I found Mr. Champagne and he far exceeded expectations. Matt charged several $100s less than what most were wanting to charge. Also, even with our limited conversations I could tell he genuinely cared about reaching a positive resolution and not just to get my money. Anytime I reached out for a concern or question his assistant Ms. Jane or himself responded in a timely manner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

My first initiative thought and everyone's reaction was "there is no way to be able to have those charges dropped in St. Tammany. would get the job done and fight for justice! Being that I had several unrelated charges, I was determined to find the best of best lawyer. I was referred by a friend Collette Venturini who promised Mr.Matthew Champagne Not only did Mr. Matthew have my DUI thrown out, but he also did everything in his power to make sure I would be okay. My life was in jeopardy, being that I am in school to be a Mortician, but he did everything in his power to get this resolved and prove that I was not guilty to the charges being pursued. Mr. Matthew was determined my case was worth going to trial, and we won!!!! After many court sessions, it was finally over. He never tried to 'scam' me with money, and was very helpful throughout the process (even with my terrible procrastination). I 110% recommend him to everyone, of all different ethnicities. I do not know how Mr. Matthew does it, but he certainly knows the law and gets the job done! I am so beyond relieved and appreciative for your hard work. You rock and I cannot thank you enough!

    The 1-star reviews are not flukes. I cannot speak for anyone else but if you need another reason to…read moreavoid retaining Ellen, I will tell you my story... I hired Ellen as my attorney from 2018 through 2021 to advocate for me during my child custody and child support case. I was new to the process and ignored several red flags before I had to fire her as my attorney. The initial over-the-phone consultation was 30-days before the hearing date for child custody hearing. We spoke about the facts of the matter, she requested payment. On the day of the hearing, she had no clue what I was talking about when I introduced myself to her. She had to call her paralegal to validate that she was supposed to hear my case that day. Then without my consent she requested a continuance which was denied. On three separate occasions Ellen failed to communicate with me that she asked for a continuance because the hearing conflicted with something within her schedule. She never spoke to me before requesting the judge continue and as a result I was stuck looking dumbfounded as I took time off work hoping to have the matter heard only to have my attorney request the change. Even though I had no ability to effect the continuance I was charged for her appearance that day in court. This happened two more times. I later found out she had to continue due to personal medical reasons and being double booked for a criminal trial. In May 2021 I was sent an invoice for those date and when I questioned why I was being charged for the continuance I didn't ask for this was her response: "For 28 years the answer has been the same. We Continue hearings based on 2 objective criteria: Last scheduled is the case continued, Except in cases we have triaged as priority, i.e. domestic abuse which must be heard quickly by statute or when a child is endangered, The client's case continued, is the client billed. This charge will not be removed from your bill. The next time, another client's case may be continued because it conflicts with your case and you will never know about the other case we had to continue" I received an invoice from her that seemed unusually high. After contacting her I was informed I was being billed for multiple +1 hour conversations she was having with my high conflict co-parent (HCCP). She never even told me those conversations happened. She informed me that since my HCCP was not represented by an attorney she had to have legal conversations with her to ensure she understood what was happening. I informed Ellen that I was not going to pay for those conversations. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Ellen yelled at me during a hearing for not wanting to accepting the terms of an agreement that would allow my HCCP to avoid being fined and avoid paying court costs and lawyers fees when she was found in contempt. I had a horrible experience with Ellen. She has been doing this for a long time but the 1-star reviews are not flukes. Why take chances with something as important as family law

    Thank you Ellen and team for sticking out a 2 year adoption battle with me. Your professionalism…read moreand dedication for doing what was right for the child has paid off. I am new first time father and could not be prouder.
