Free Legal Tools
A set of free, plain-language tools for common Louisiana and Mississippi questions — deadlines, successions, child support, and judgment interest. Each gives a quick, general indication to help you understand where you may stand. They are educational only, not legal advice, and no substitute for talking with a lawyer about your specific facts.
Is My Claim Still Timely?
Louisiana’s filing deadlines — called prescription — are short and unforgiving. Enter your type of matter and the date it happened for a rough sense of whether your deadline may be approaching or passed.
Open the checker →Do I Need a Full Succession?
When someone passes away, Louisiana sometimes allows a simplified small succession instead of a full proceeding. Answer a few questions to see which path your situation may call for.
Open the screener →Child Support Estimator
Louisiana sets child support from both parents’ incomes using a state schedule. Enter the incomes, number of children, and custody type for a rough monthly range — a ballpark, not an official figure.
Open the estimator →Judicial Interest Calculator
Louisiana judgments carry interest at a rate the state sets each year. Estimate the simple interest on a claim or judgment — before judgment and after — using the published annual rates.
Open the calculator →Final Paycheck Penalty Estimator
When a Louisiana employer pays a final paycheck late — or not at all — the law can add penalty wages of up to ninety days’ pay (La. R.S. 23:631–632). Enter your pay and the dates for a rough estimate.
Open the estimator →Custody Schedule Visualizer
Map out a parenting-time calendar — week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, alternating weekends, holidays — and see how the year divides between two homes. Preview a draft schedule and share it with the firm before a consultation.
Open the visualizer →Is My Mississippi Claim Still Timely?
Mississippi’s statutes of limitation run from one to three years depending on the claim — and medical and government claims add strict pre-suit steps. Enter your matter type and date for a rough sense of your deadline.
Open the checker →Mississippi Child Support Estimator
Mississippi sets guideline support as a percentage of the paying parent’s adjusted income — 14% to 26% by number of children, with a new equal-parenting-time method for 2026. Get a rough monthly figure.
Open the estimator →SSDI Back Pay Estimator
A winning disability claim usually includes months — sometimes years — of past-due benefits. Enter your onset, application, and decision dates for a rough estimate of the back pay involved.
Open the estimator →Is My Non-Compete Enforceable?
Louisiana voids most non-competes by default and imposes strict requirements on the few it allows — a two-year cap and a named-parish geographic scope. Screen your agreement for the most common fatal defects.
Open the screener →Can I Expunge My Record?
An old arrest or charge can shadow every job and housing application — even when the case went nowhere. See whether your Louisiana record may qualify for expungement, and what the path looks like.
Open the screener →Workers’ Comp Benefit Estimator
Hurt on the job? Louisiana sets weekly comp by formula — two-thirds of your average weekly wage, within state limits. Estimate your weekly check, wage-loss benefits, or a scheduled loss, and see if the insurer’s number holds up.
