Family law attorneys for all families.

The Hite Law Group was founded in 2013 with the goal of providing affordable high-quality legal service to those in need. We use our personal experience and professional expertise to support, protect, and advocate for individuals, families, and children across Louisiana. While addressing the full range of family law concerns, The Hite Law Group specializes in serving the unique needs of the LGBTQ community  and survivors of intimate partner abuse.

We firmly believe that income should never be a barrier to quality legal advice, so we use sliding-scale fees. We keep your income in mind when setting our rates. If you don't earn very much, we do not charge very much. Plus, we maintain strong relationships with community organizations so we can connect our clients with services that to help with the other issues in your life that your lawsuit may be causing.
