About

I founded On Point Legal and it exists to help form families and protect private property.  I was inspired with the name and use it to remind me of what the firm's mission is: to BE-ON POINT!  Sharp visual presentations, dynamic speech, and thoroughness are important aspects of our team excellance.  Since 1997, I have counseled and advocated for clients in many areas, becoming well-rounded.  But for the last twelve years, the primary focus has been on successions/probate and family law.  As a compliment to my legal practice, I occasionally testify before legislative committees, and contribute to the work of the Children's Code Committee of the LA Law Institute. I also serve on the Board for a new Baton Rouge Charter School, APEX Collegiate Academy.  I've incurred disappointments and frustrating circumstances in my 23 year legal career.  These experiences, and the lessons learned from them, allow me to give clients really sound advice.  Throw in a generous heart, a warrior spirit, and a little bit of silliness, and you have an outline of me!

Mr. Gaudin was simply amazing in our custody case! He was brilliant in so many ways. Our children were so blessed to have him represent us! He is extremely knowledgeable in many areas of custody and adoption, not to mention his professionalism, awesome personality and extreme dedication to his clients.

Our adoption case was not exactly the easiest. What started out as too good to be true, turned into just that. We set out to adopt a little girl 7 years old. We sought advice from Mr. Todd Gaudin as he was the premiere adoption lawyer in our area. Upon meeting Todd and his staff, we agreed to hire him and move forward. Todd is such a warm, delightful person. As we got further into the adoption, and initial visits, it became very clear that this was not going to be a normal adoption. At one point, I was asked to make a trip to Pennsylvania in order to move the adoption forward. Without any hesitation, Todd said he would go with me. We hopped in the car, drove 17 hours and arrived at our destination only to find, the guardian had made some changes in the plan and decided to call off the adoption. Todd and I stayed in Pennsylvania for several days, as we fought to reinstate the adoption. It amazed me how selfless Todd was and is. He left his family in Louisiana to come with me to Pennsylvania so that I could build my family. Todd exhausted every avenue he knew of in Pennsylvania, but in the end we were outgunned and outnumbered by out of state laws and judges. We were forced to go home without our little girl. A month went by, and the guardian decided that she had made a mistake. She offered to us the little girl again. Of course we jumped right back into the adoption without question. And of course we went right back to working with Todd. Honestly, I cant imagine an outcome other than what we got, had we ever used the services of anyone other than Todd Gaudin. As we returned to Pennsylvania to get the little girl, we were informed of the many laws in place for the Protection of children called ICPC. We were informed by the Maryland State ICPC that we could return to Louisiana. Half way home, we were informed by the state police of Pennsylvania that they would like question us regarding kidnapping the child. The Guardian and Birth father had cooked up a story, and accused us of kidnapping her. As you can imagine, Todd was the first person we called. Todd settled the matter very quickly, but we were asked to no longer continue our journey home to Louisiana. So, we were forced to stay with friends in Tennessee for 35 days. During this time, Todd fought, clawed, and eventually won our little girl to us. Through our experience, I witnessed so many sides of people that I never knew could really exist. Todd was like a spirit guide. Always showing us the way, and walking us through all trouble. We owe our family to the heart of Todd. His never ending pursuit to do the right thing, and do it correctly is how we eventually won our little girl. Todd and his staff were delightful warriors. We never felt alone, or that we needed a different lawyer. Todd was it, and will always be it. He is family now, and a friend. We thank God every night for Todd and his unwavering heart to get us our little girl.

We had a very stressful adoption case, and our previous lawyer had added to that stress. Once Tood took over it was mostly smooth sailing and we were able to finalize it fairly quickly. He took the time to explain all the details and answer my many questions. He always returned my calls and emails within a day or two. On top of that, we could tell he really cares about our case and the well-being of our daughter. He was very kind and generous with his time and all my concerns! We couldn’t recommend him enough!

We truly believe God sent us to Todd. He isn't just an attorney that sits down and tells you what you want to hear. He asks, are you prepared if you win or lose? What do you actual want. You can just tell that this man and his staff have a heart of gold and that they are going to go beyond the "Normal" attorney level with your case. When sitting and talking you can see that he actually cares about you and your feelings, that he is going to do everything he can possible to do what's best. We are truly blessed to have hired such a great man and his staff. If I were you I would go no further than this man right here. I would NEVER let anyone else take this case we have because that's how much faith I have in this man and his staff.

Todd was referred to us by our adoption agency, ANLC. He came highly recommended for a very good reason. Todd along with his social worker Kacie, went over and beyond on each occasion to ensure that our adoption went as smoothly as possible. There are no words that can express how grateful my family is for all that Todd and Kacie did for us.

Our adoption experience was underscored by the wonderful care and attention our case recieved from Todd and his staff. We confidently and without hesitation recommend Todd and look forward to working with him in the future as our family grows. He is deeply knowledgable and his proffesionalism, both inside and outside of the courtroom was impressive. The patience his entire office exhibited through every part of the process gave our family an assurance that is invaluable during such a time. He is of sound character and in our experience, above reproach. Entrusting what would be a very sacred and significant season in our lives to Todd and his expertise has been one of the most fortunate decisions we have ever made.

Todd helped us through a difficult custody case and continues to help with our adoption. He heard our concerns and did his best to set appropriate expectations and deliver on his promises. He has continued to go above and beyond for us and handled and continues to handle the particulars of our case in a manner that is commendable and with a level of patience and resolve I do not think we would have found elsewhere. For these things and many more, we will forever be grateful.
