Judith L. Hampton is a Louisiana attorney, problem-solver, mother, writer, and someone who believes serious legal work does not require pretending to be a robot. Hampton Law Firm is formal when the moment demands it, plainspoken when clients need clarity, creative when the usual answer is not enough, and relentlessly human throughout. We work hard, tell the truth, explain the why, and try to make difficult days feel a little less heavy—sometimes with a laugh.

​

Judith brings more than a decade of experience as a practicing attorney, along with ten prior years as a legal assistant. She earned her Business Administration degree from Louisiana Tech University and her Juris Doctor from Mississippi College School of Law. Her Farmerville office serves clients throughout North Louisiana in estate planning, successions, real estate and title matters, and other civil matters.

"As a single mom of three, running a business, practicing law, changing from soccer practice to basketball practice, and doing public defense work, I understand how difficult life can get for any human being, regardless of the circumstances. That is why I understand that when someone sits across from me, they aren't just asking me what the law is, they are asking me how they survive it. The answer to that question has almost always been (for me at least) to have a plan & follow it.

 

If you are in a phase of life that is uncertain, facing legal challenges, personal challenges, sometimes the strongest thing you can do is to ask for help. Legal challenges on top of personal struggles make it difficult for people, to understand or even begin to build a plan. That is why I am here, that is my purpose. When you need help because you do not know how to build the plan, come see me. My job is to help you build it. And if there is anything I have become an expert at, it is building a plan.

​

Everyone has struggles they are embarrassed about or afraid of. Sometimes, we simply need someone to help us see the best path forward. I am no different. I used to believe my struggles made me weak. Now I understand they are part of what uniquely equips me to sit across the table from you, without judgment, understand that no two lives - or legal problems - look exactly alike, and help you find a path forward that fits the reality of what you are facing. I can't always promise a good answer, a good result or that the truth is going to be what you want to hear. But I can always promise I will tell you the truth with grace, human dignity and a plan to move forward.

 

Whether you are here because you are searching for legal answers or human answers, I hope you find something that helps you, guides you, explains a concept or simply provides you with a few minutes outside of yourself to enjoy some entertainment. And when you are ready to take the next step towards building your plan, come see me."
