Ann Mallett Barker

After receiving my Juris Doctorate degree  from Loyola University in New Orleans in 1984, I began practicing law in Houma, Louisiana at the well established law firm of Watkins, Walker, and Hermann. My  relationship with that firm and its successor firms spanned several decades.  I have practiced law in the areas of  estate administration, medical malpractice defense, insurance defense, business litigation, employment  discrimination,  personal injury and business planning.   In addition to the traditional practice of law,  I spent several years in the early 1990's  as a licensed insurance and investment counselor  and several years post- Katrina  as an in-house risk manager. 

As a licensed practicing attorney in southeast Louisiana for over 30 years, I have gained a deep appreciation for Louisiana legal  tradition, placing  great importance on the orderly  transfer of assets within families upon death.  The value of a real estate inheritance in south Louisiana is heightened by the stark reality  that our treasured  way of life is intimately connected to our disappearing geography.   I take great pleasure in assisting Louisiana families with estate transfers in the most cost effective manner possible.
