Welcome...
Since 1991 The Law Offices of Melanie A. Leavitt has represented clients in Southern Louisiana and Southwestern Mississippi. Our clients are individuals who, because of serious injury or illness, are unable to work full-time and are entitled a monthly disability benefit from the government (or private LTD insurance carrier).
We offer personal attention to our clients and we emphasize service. Each of our clients initially meets with a lawyer who will collect information regarding their claim and develop a comprehensive plan unique to their case. We offer our clients honest advice regarding their chances of success as well as advise them on what or how the evidence needs to be developed in their claim to build the strongest possible case.
We only charge a fee if we are successful in securing their benefits and the fee is 25% of their retroactive benefits up to the maximum fee of $6,000.00.
Our motto is and always has been “Don't Give Up.” We believe in strong preparation for all of our cases, including a detailed pre-hearing brief to the judge which summarizes the medical evidence and legal issues.
