Bethard & Bethard, LLP, is a multigenerational, family-run law firm based in Coushatta, Louisiana. Established by Henry W. Bethard, Jr. in 1922 in response to mineral activities in the area, our firm was an early leader in property and mineral law, with our focus on the landowner’s rights. We also have a concentrated focus on property law, real estate transactions and property related litigation, regarding property ranging from a small residential lot to large tracts of land, timber and minerals, and everything in between.

Over the years, our firm has established good relationships with individuals, families, businesses and landowners in Red River Parish, Caddo Parish, Natchitoches Parish, DeSoto Parish, Bienville Parish, Bossier Parish, Claiborne Parish, Sabine Parish and several others around the State of Louisiana.

We represent clients owning thousands of acres of timber, agricultural and recreational properties as well as clients owning residential lots and tax sale properties. We are familiar with the issues and opportunities that come along with owning small, undivided interest in property, owning mineral rights or owning property without the mineral rights, as well as complex successions and probates, and corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). Our services and expertise range from buying and selling property to mineral lease negotiations, to estate planning, to complex litigation, and all aspects in between.

No matter what legal issue you have, we will help you find the best possible resolution. We are dedicated to providing high-quality legal services paired with personal service and accessibility. When you call our firm, you will talk to your lawyer.
