Just learned that St. Landry Parish Jail discontinued Sunday family inmate visits during COVID-19... and they are still discontinued!!!!! I respect our Sheriff Deputies and Jail workers. They have a lot on their plate. They work hard. The condition of the jail is the responsibility of the Sheriff. BOBBY GUIDROZ, you are not doing your job. You should treat people as humans. In addition to ending Sunday family day, as of now there is also no reading/literacy program, and there never has been other than by the grace of volunteers several years ago (you don't get to take credit for the work of volunteers, sir). We live in a parish with one of the highest illiteracy rates. Recidivism in jail populations has been found to have a direct statistical correlation to literacy. The jail has no established job training or certification opportunities. Again, there may have been a GED program offered in the past but that was volunteer based, not the result of our sheriff actually dedicating money and putting a program in place, a/k/a actually doing something productive with the inmate population. Few St. Landry Parish Jail inmates leave the jail trained for a job, except maybe some trustees picking up various skills or making connections on their own. And what was once a Sunday tradition is now cancelled due to LAZINESS, not COVID-19. News Mr. Guidroz, COVID-19 is long over. You may be surprised, Mr. Guidroz, that spending money and dedicating resources (lots of resources) on programs for training and education and literacy of inmates can pay dividends in our community. You aren't doing the whole job, Mr. Guidroz, if all you do is lock em up!!!!!! Shame on you. It's embarrassing and deplorable and against the best interest of our community.

I DON'T CHARGE FOR TALKIN'

A daily routine is important professionally and personally. I like to start with a cup of coffee and make a list of the most pressing issues to tackle that day. You should get your day started and your mind right then call George F. Severson, Attorney at Law, LLC to discuss any problem, trouble, injustice, or concern. I may or may not take your case, but I don't charge for talking. If I believe your case will cost you more than the return you are likely to get,, I'll be frank. I've pointed many people in the direction of a referral or self help. It's a fact, asking an attorney to do anything costs money. Something many of us don't have lying around in buckets. A contingency fee is appropriate in property and bodily injury cases involving an accident and insured defendant. This type of fee allows the attorney to begin work without payment against the advent of a future settlement payment by the insurance company. This payment is the value of your case that gets shared by the claimant (you), the medical providers, and the attorney once the case is concluded. Social Security Disability is another type of claim where the attorney can begin work without pay under a fee agreement secured by the Social Security Administration. However, many of the everyday troubles of humans do not fall under these 2 specific categories. Criminal defense, custody, divorce, boundary disputes, contract disputes, bad workmanship claims against non-bonded contractors or repairmen; just to name a few, all require money up front for an attorney to begin work on your behalf.

IF YOU HAVE A GRIPE, PICK UP YOUR COFFEE, AND TAKE A SWIPE - AT YOUR PHONE, 337-407-5160. I'LL BE GLAD TO GIVE YOU A MOMENT OF MY DAY TO DISCUSS YOUR LEGAL ISSUES.

Covid19 gets in the way of everything. But if you come in contact with a verified positive case, you must isolate yourself from workmates, family, and friends. It's the vacation you never have time to take but always need. 14 days of solitude... and drive throughs. EVERYONE DO YOUR PART. I'M AT DAY 4 OF QUARANTINE, after close contact with two confirmed cases last week. I have elderly parents, in laws, etc. and do not want anything bad to happen to them. BE SAFE, BE SMART... DO YOUR PART.
