Based in Shreveport, Carl Henry Franklin, Attorney at Law, supports clients as they face difficult decisions and difficult losses. We know that both estate planning and probate, which is called succession in Louisiana, can involve complex financial and legal issues - as well as highly personal and emotional ones.
A complete estate plan is more than a will. It often contains a collection of several documents, including a trust, living will and power of attorney. Together, these methods can protect your interests during life as well as far into the future.

At the office of Carl Henry Franklin, Attorney at Law, in Shreveport, we will need to understand your family's situation in order to ensure that your assets are divided properly among your intended beneficiaries.We are here to assist you in drafting your estate plan and answering estate law questions.
Regardless of whether a decedent has a will, resolving their final matters can be a difficult task for a variety of reasons. The process of probate, called succession in Louisiana, can be stressful, and it requires a high level of organization. Furthermore, families may encounter conflicts that are hard to overcome.
If you have been arrested, there is a lot at stake. If convicted, you could face steep fines, probation and even time in prison. Furthermore, a mark on your criminal record could haunt you for years. Remember, however, there is hope and there is always a defense. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can give you the best possible chance of obtaining a favorable outcome.

Worst lawyer ever, took my sons money and never returned phone calls or was never in the office. Do NOT waste your money on him. He will let you do all the work and do absolutely nothing for you in court.

In my opinion I feel like he is a terrible attorney. I didn't feel like he had my best interest. I was paying him but I felt like he was looking out more for my ex-husband then for me. I would not recommend him because I question his competency, there were errors made during the proceeding, and as a woman, I definitely would not refer another woman to him, mainly because he seems like he is more for fighting for men then women. For the little work that he did, he was paid too much money.

Wish I had read these reviews before making appointment with this lawyer. I obtained his services after my mom became ill, thinking that he was familiar with her prior to her illness. He had previously drawn up a will for her, but had no idea who she was or what I was referring to. He assisted me with an interdiction of my mother. My mother’s illness had taken a toll on me already but having to call his office for updates and stressing about zero input from he or his assistant added on more stress. No return calls and his assistant was never able to give me updates. Then to top off everything

Me. Franklin was wonderful counsel and helped me with my protective hearing case. He efficiently and intelligently had the frivolous protective order against me dismissed without prejudice I can’t thank him enough! He can sometimes take a while to respond to calls or emails, but he is a busy man! He genuinely cares about his clients.
