Family Law & Criminal Defense Practice Areas
Our attorneys have extensive experience in all types of family law and criminal defense cases, including:
Divorce
Divorce is a major change for any family, but it does not necessarily have to be a change for the worse.
Child Custody
Issues concerning child custody are often the most emotional part of any divorce proceeding.
Property Division
Whether you have relatively few assets or possess significant wealth, it is important to ensure that your interests are protected when it comes to a property division agreement.
Drugs/DWI
Driving while intoxicated (DWI), or driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime in the state of Louisiana. If you live here, chances are you are already familiar with our law firm’s accomplishments in DWI defense.
Federal Cases
Some of the worst news anyone can learn is that they are under investigation or being arrested for federal criminal charges. Federal investigators are very skilled and work carefully to build a strong case.
Property Crimes
Whether you are charged with misdemeanor or felony theft, burglary or another crime that involves the misappropriation of property, Fuerst, Carrier and Ogden Attorneys at Law has the experience and skill to defend you.

Scott Ogden and the staff of FCO were wonderful throughout a difficult and challenging legal process. He is a highly skilled and experienced attorney who can help you with divorce, child custody, and community property issues. Communication with Mr. Ogden and Paige was always very good, and they went above and beyond to provide exceptional legal service. I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.
Great results!! They did everything they could to help me out of my situation, and for a decent price.
Scott Ogden and his paralegal, Breanna, are the absolute best! From the first meeting, they were very honest and realistic, while being very strategic. Scott was always prepared for the next move. Communication was better than anyone could ask for! If I ever had a question or concern, they were both quick to respond and explain. Highly recommend Scott Ogden to anyone needing legal assistance!
I cannot recommend Attorney, Michael Antoon enough. Recently, my son needed representation in family court and Mr. Antoon took on the case. He combined exceptional legal expertise with genuine compassion and got us through a very difficult and emotional time.
Mr. Antoon took the time to really understand my son's situation. He explained the legal process clearly, answered all our questions, and involved us in every decision.
In the courtroom, he was extremely well prepared. He advocated fiercely & professionally. It was apparent that the hearing judge respected him.
What stood out most was his dedication and empathy. Mr. Antoon treated my son with respect and dignity in a most trying time. We felt as though our case was his top priority. The outcome exceeded our expectations and we credit that success to Mr. Antoon's preparation & strategic approach.
If you're looking for an attorney with extensive courtroom experience, who will fiercely protect your interests, who genuinely cares about people, LOOK NO FURTHER !!!

I would like to acknowledge Mr Micheal Antoon for his expertise, compassion and level of genuine empathy for the situation I was dealing with. I can truly attest to the level of service received. He went above and beyond to secure best possible outcome. I never had problem contacting him. If he was unavailable when I called he made sure I received whatever information I was trying to get. I must also acknowledge his paralegal Will. He also provided excellent customer service when I called. Mr Antoon was truly a blessing to my family and I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of legal assistance. Thank you Mr Antoon for job well done.
My family and I are beyond grateful to have had Michael Antoon by our side during one of the most difficult times in our lives. He was an exceptional advocate, a source of reassurance, and handled my son's case with professionalism, and genuine compassion. Every step of the way, he communicated with transparency, the good, the bad and the ugly. He promptly answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood our options. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to protecting my family's best interests truly meant the world to us, and we could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this firm and Michael without hesitation.
Working with Austin Pottorff was more than just hiring a lawyer; it was finally having someone stand up for me when I was exhausted from doing it alone. From day one, he listened without judgment, explained every step in plain language, and treated my case like it mattered.
He walked into court calm, prepared, and confident, even though everything was last min on my end, he still did an exceptional job well done..and that energy changed everything. What looked impossible suddenly became organized and winnable. I didn’t just leave with a fair judgment, I left with my peace back.
If you’re looking for an attorney who actually shows up for you, fights smart, and brings compassion with strategy, Austin is the one you want sitting next to!

Austin Pottorff is very knowledgeable, professional, and ethical. He provided excellent guidance and counsel during an extremely difficult chapter in my life. He was very articulate and always available to address my questions and concerns. He managed to represent me well, even when I did not make it easy for him. Heidi Borrel was also excellent to work with, she was very professional, organized, and responsive. Fuerst, Carrier & Ogden’s performance is on par with their incredible reputation. I would recommend them as they provided me with excellent service and flexibility.
Amazing detail and communication of the path going forward, with the possible best and worst case scenario, even with the worst scenario, it’s the best in the interest of the client. Highly highly recommended
Michael antoon showed me that there's still hope in very honest attorney's sincerely putting everything inside them in resolving and helping a client when the truth really matters, he's hands down one of the best I've seen in this area in a long while. Hes very hard working and will not stop until he can find resolve or fair justice in your case..... I would recommend him to anyone thats not sure if a very strong fighting attorney is who their looking for with trust to do the right thing Michael antoon is your guy!!!!!!!! John3:16

Let's talk about M. Scott Ogden Jr.
We are from Texas and needed a lawyer in Louisiana to enforce visitation. We found Scott and we just knew he was the one from the initial consultation. Through every twist and turn because it became more than a visitation case, he was there ready and never skipped a beat. After 1 1/2 years and multiple hearings, meetings etc...Scott delivered the best outcome we could have ever dreamed of. He's patient, he listens, and he communicated with us every step of the way. He's always had our best interest at heart and he never gave up on us, like prior lawyers had. We are so thankful for Scott and his legal assistant Missy.
Look no more, Scott is your man! You won't regret hiring him. I can't emphasize this enough.
