Welcome to Our Firm

An Established Baton Rouge Law Firm

At Modica, Dowden & Sledge Attorneys at Law, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we take our clients' cases personally. We understand the stress that is involved in dealing with personal injury and family law matters. Our attorneys are committed to sharing our clients' burdens and helping them obtain the peace of mind they need to move forward with their lives.

Effective Louisiana Attorneys

When dealing with issues that affect families, experience matters. The firm of Modica, Dowden & Sledge Attorneys at Law has been serving clients in Baton Rouge for more than thirty-five years, and our firm is AV rated* under Martindale Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating process. We have earned a reputation for providing effective legal representation in a wide range of legal matters that affect families.

• Personal Injury - We are committed to protecting the rights and interests of people who have suffered serious and catastrophic injuries. Our attorneys regularly represent individuals and families dealing with injuries caused by car accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. In addition, we have the skill and resources to handle complex product liability, medical malpractice, and wrongful death matters.
• Family Law - Issues involving families in transition are often legally and emotionally complex. Divorce, child custody, and child support matters are as much about resolving personal tensions as legal conflicts. We work closely with our clients to help them work through difficult family legal matters. While we strive to create conditions for mediated or negotiated divorce agreements, when necessary we are prepared to aggressively represent our clients' interests in court.
• Estate Matters - Beginning a succession is almost always emotional. We strive to help people create wills, trusts, and estate plans that effectively represent their wishes and minimize the taxes that will be paid by their heirs.

As a small law firm, we are able to provide each of our clients the personal attention they need and deserve as they work to resolve personal injury and family law matters. We offer a free half hour initial consultation for personal injury clients, and handle all personal injury cases on a contingency basis.
