Douglas Brown Attorney

Divorce
Child Support
I work with men, women and families before, during and after the divorce process, from the initial filing through post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement. As a child custody lawyer, I also handle all matters related to visitation, child support, alimony or spousal support, property division and paternity actions.
Child Custody and Visitation
You may not know where to start, and that is understandable. Clients contact me with questions regarding their financial future, their living arrangement, child custody, and property and debt division issues. I provide guidance through these issues, and I know there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Remember that Louisiana is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning proving adultery is not necessary in order to get a divorce. I will help you review and understand your rights, as well as the responsibilities of a cheating spouse. If you have children, the divorce process will take longer – a little over a year, but the time for divorce finalization is reduced if no children are involved.
Paternity
Spousal Support
Child Abuse
I also work extensively with clients involved in Office of Community Services (OCS) cases, where there are concerns about child abuse or neglect. I handle Families in Need of Services (FINS) proceedings as well as cases involving attempts to terminate parental rights.

Criminal Defense
Brown has been a member of the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Louisiana Association for Criminal Defense Lawyers, The Twenty First Judicial District Bar Association, and the Florida Parishes Inns of Court. In his spare time, Brown has been a Little League Coach for the Hammond City Recreation Department, served as the Hammond Eastside Magnet PTA Vice President, and has been a CASA Volunteer Trainer. He has also been a member of several parading organizations, having ridden in the Krewe of Endymion, The Original Krewe of Orpheus, and most recently with the Hammond Krewe of Omega.
DUI/DWI
I work to resolve your DWI issues without your having to go to court whenever possible, and I will work closely with your prosecutor to help you avoid the needless costs associated with going to court for weak DWI cases. My thorough investigations help protect your rights, your freedoms and your finances.
Sex Crimes
Simply put, there is no worse accusation than a sex offense against a minor. Period. When falsely accused, the first instinct is to explain your innocence to anyone that will listen. This is the worst thing you can do.
Robbery
Burglary
Douglas D. Brown, Attorney at Law, is a father of three, and has practiced personal injury law, criminal defense and family law in Tangipahoa Parish for two decades. After working in Washington, D.C. for Congressman Richard Baker, Brown served as a judicial law clerk for State District Judges Ray Chutz in Amite and M. Douglas Hughes in Livingston. He later served as the City of Hammond’s Assistant City Prosecutor and first In House Attorney. Before earning a JD degree at Louisiana State University’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center, Brown attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and earned a BA degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in Economics. Brown’s felony trial practice includes homicide, drug trafficking, kidnapping, burglary, and DWI.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Being arrested and charged with a crime–any crime–is serious, and I treat it that way. As a criminal defense lawyer, I believe that a client is best represented by quick, aggressive, and early action. I investigate your case early and, when appropriate, argue your case to the prosecutor before your case ever goes to court. If your case does go to court, I will fight every step of the way, negotiate the best possible resolution, and, when necessary, present a compelling case-your case-to a judge or jury. My criminal practice includes a broad range of felony and misdemeanor charges, including...
Drug Crimes
Juvenile Crimes
Homicide
Shoplifting
Kidnapping

Personal Injury
Insurance companies are in the business of making money. They make money by taking it in and by not paying it out. It is as simple as that. To make matters worse, insurance lawyers you pay for with your premiums can end up fighting you if you make a claim on your own uninsured motorist coverage. If you have been involved in a car accident, your insurance adjuster will try to get as much information as possible from you. He or she may talk or act like your best friend and well wisher. However, that’s what they are trained to do. Their job is not to help you. Their job is to make a profit for the insurance company, which is usually accomplished by denying or reducing the value of your claim. You need an experienced, aggressive Tangipahoa Parish personal injury attorney to fight for your rights against the insurance attorneys.
