- Child SupportWe may have also received a “lien notice” from parties who you have held a past unpaid debt to. Common examples of this include medical providers, unpaid child support, and prior legal representatives if you dismissed a lawyer on this case. We will do our best to investigate each one and negotiate the amount being billed for you. In some cases, we may give you a partial payment, withholding an amount which may be claimed by a lien holder until we have cleared up the final lien amount.

- DUI/DWIRideshare companies such as Uber & Lyft transform the transportation industry in each city they are permitted to operate in, and New Orleans is no exception. Both companies report millions of rides given to passengers each year and those rides come with risks. Uber reported that there were 36,000 auto-related deaths in 2018 and 20,000 homicides in 2017. The fact that rideshare drivers are not employees of Uber or Lyft makes the question of liability in rideshare accidents murky and confusing. There are many causes of rideshare accidents, everything from the driver being under the influence (DUI), distracted driving or speeding. If you have been hurt in an accident with an Uber or Lyft driver, you don’t have to fight your case alone. Cueria Law Firm is experienced in handling rideshare accident cases. Let our experienced team at Cueria Law Firm fight for you.
