Brooke Tigchelaar provided exceptional representation during my difficult divorce, which involved a complex partition of a family-owned business and multiple investment properties. Her 17 years of experience in New Orleans family law were immediately evident. She navigated the high-conflict situation with a strategic yet empathetic approach, and her background in mediation was invaluable in reaching several key settlements outside of court. The recognition she has received in family law and arbitration is well-deserved. My only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally be a day or two. Overall, I felt thoroughly supported and would confidently recommend her at Stone Pigman for anyone facing intricate family law matters.
