- [Cheap Divorce in Lake Charles, Louisiana](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/cheap-divorce-in-lake-charles/): Divorce does not have to be a complicated process.

- [Public Intimidation and Malfeasance in Office in Louisiana: The Liz Murrill Charges Explained](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/public-intimidation-and-malfeasance-in-office-in-louisiana/): When high-profile political disputes boil over into the criminal justice system, the charges brought forward often center on specialized white-collar and public offenses rather than standard criminal code entries. Recent legal actions in South Louisiana have brought intense public focus onto two distinct felony statutes under the state's criminal code: Public Intimidation and Malfeasance in Office.
- [Do I Need to Hire an Attorney for a Divorce in Louisiana?](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/is-a-divorce-attorney-required-why-hiring-one-can-make-all-the-difference/): One of the first questions people ask me is simple: “Do I really need to hire an attorney for a divorce?”
- [Can a Criminal Record Be Expunged in Louisiana?](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/can-a-criminal-conviction-be-expunged-in-louisiana-a-guide-from-colonna-law-firm/): A criminal record can follow a person long after the court case is over. A background check for a job, apartment, professional license, school program, loan, or volunteer position may reveal an old arrest or conviction even when the sentence was completed years ago.
- [Louisiana DWI Penalties Explained: First, Second, Third, and Fourth Offenses](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/louisiana-dwi-penalties-explained-a-colonna-law-firm-guide-to-first-second-and-third-offenses/): Facing a DWI charge in Southwest Louisiana can feel like a sudden halt to your normal routine. A single traffic stop in Lake Charles, Sulphur, or the surrounding Calcasieu Parish communities quickly opens up two separate, fast-moving legal fronts: an administrative battle to safeguard your driving privileges with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV), and a criminal case inside the 14th Judicial District Court. Navigating the overlapping timelines, bond configurations, and statutory requirements requires a clear view of your exposure.
- [Can a Convicted Defendant Request a New Trial in Louisiana? Can they remain on bond after conviction? The Misty Roberts Case Explained.](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/can-a-convicted-defendant-request-a-new-trial-in-louisiana-remain-on-bond-after-conviction-the-misty-roberts-case-explained/): A high-profile Southwest Louisiana criminal case is back in the headlines today, and it raises two legal questions that are far more common than most people realize — questions that apply to anyone facing felony charges in Louisiana, not just former mayors.
- [Louisiana’s New Equal Custody Law: What Every Parent Needs to Know Before August 1, 2026](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/louisiana-equal-custody-law-2026/): If you are a parent in Lake Charles going through a divorce or custody dispute — or if you already have a custody order in place — a monumental shift in Louisiana family law is officially on the horizon. Starting August 1, 2026, new legislation (Act 605) will dramatically change how courts across the state, including the 14th Judicial District Court in Calcasieu Parish, handle child custody disputes. The change is not subtle: courts are now directed to start from equal sharing as the baseline, and a parent who wants a different arrangement will need to justify that departure. This post explains what Act 605 actually changes, what it does not change, and what it means for parents in Southwest Louisiana facing a custody proceeding after August 1.
- [Louisiana’s Two-Year Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/understanding-louisianas-two-year-statute-of-limitations-for-personal-injury/): If you were hurt in an accident in Louisiana, one of the most important things you need to know is the state’s two-year statute of limitations. This rule controls how long you have to file a personal injury claim. Many people do not realize how fast that time can pass, especially when they are dealing with medical care, car repairs, or missing work. Understanding this law can help you protect your rights and avoid losing your chance to recover money for your injuries.
- [Understanding Probation Violation Laws in Louisiana](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/understanding-probation-violation-laws-in-louisiana/): Probation can be a crucial second chance. Instead of serving an immediate jail sentence, a judge may allow an individual convicted of an offense to remain in the community. With this opportunity comes strict responsibility. People in the Louisiana criminal justice system on probation are given the space to rebuild their lives, but they remain under court supervision. If someone breaks the rules of their probation, they can face serious consequences, including having that probation revoked.
- [Louisiana Legislature Passes New DWI Ignition Interlock Requirements for First Offenders — What It Means for Lake Charles Defendants](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/louisiana-legislature-passes-new-dwi-ignition-interlock-requirements-for-first-offenders-what-it-means-for-lake-charles-defendants-2/): If you face a DWI charge in Southwest Louisiana, navigating the legislative changes from the recent state legislative session is crucial. Louisiana’s 2026 Act 49 did not simply create a new DWI penalty. It amended R.S. 14:334(A) to make ignition-interlock restrictions easier to enforce when the IID requirement comes from probation, bail/release conditions, or another provision of law.
- [Louisiana Firearm Laws: What Gun Owners Need to Know Before They Face Charges](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/louisiana-firearm-laws-what-gun-owners-need-to-know-before-they-face-charges-colonna-law-firm/): Louisiana has a strong culture of gun ownership, and the state constitution explicitly protects the right to bear arms. But that protection has limits, and those limits catch people off guard more often than you might expect. A person can own firearms legally for years and still find themselves facing serious criminal charges because of a single misunderstanding about where, when, or how they carried a weapon. If you are facing firearm charges in Lake Charles or the surrounding area, Colonna Law Firm represents clients through every stage of the criminal defense process.
- [How Social Media Can Affect Your Divorce Case](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/how-social-media-can-affect-your-divorce-case/): Divorce is never easy, and in today’s world, social media can make it even more complicated. Many people don’t realize that what they post online—photos, comments, or even “likes”—can be used during a divorce case. If you’re going through a divorce in Louisiana, it’s important to understand how social media can impact your situation and what steps you should take to protect yourself.
- [Juvenile Criminal Charges: A Guide for Parents](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/juvenile-criminal-charges-a-guide-for-parents/): Discovering that your child is facing criminal charges can be overwhelming and frightening. Parents often feel unprepared, unsure of the legal process, and concerned about the potential consequences for their child’s future. Understanding juvenile criminal charges and how the system works is crucial to protecting your child’s rights and guiding them through this challenging time. The Colonna Law Firm is committed to helping families navigate these situations with knowledge and confidence.
- [How Social Media Posts Can Affect Child Custody Decisions in Louisiana](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/how-social-media-posts-can-affect-child-custody-decisions-in-louisiana/): Social media is part of daily life for many parents. People share photos, post updates, comment on stories, and connect with friends. But when you are involved in a child custody case in Louisiana, your social media activity can have a serious impact. Judges may review posts, photos, and messages to help decide what is in the best interest of the child.
- [Navigating Divorce With a Pet: Your Rights and Plans in Louisiana](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/navigating-divorce-with-a-pet-your-rights-and-plans-in-louisiana/): Divorce can feel hard enough when you’re dealing with people. But if you have a pet, you may wonder: what happens to them in the divorce? Pets are family too, and in Louisiana, thinking ahead can help protect their best interests.
- [Louisiana Legislature Passes New DWI Ignition Interlock Requirements for First Offenders — What It Means for Lake Charles Defendants](https://www.colonnalawfirm.com/blog/louisiana-legislature-passes-new-dwi-ignition-interlock-requirements-for-first-offenders-what-it-means-for-lake-charles-defendants/): If you face a DWI charge in Southwest Louisiana, navigating the legislative changes from the recent state legislative session is crucial. During the session, state lawmakers significantly tightened the rules surrounding Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offenses, specifically focusing on mandatory ignition interlock device (IID) compliance and expanded court-ordered enforcement tracking.
