Why We Built This Site
Louisiana gives the public broad access to many court records under the Public Records Law, including La. R.S. 44:1, 44:31, and 44:32. The hard part is figuring out which Lafourche Parish office holds the file you want. The Clerk of Court handles district-court filings, civil records, criminal records, marriage licenses, copy requests, and public research computers. The 17th Judicial District Court handles the trial-court case system. The Sheriff's Office manages the jail roster, active warrants, and law-enforcement records. Lower courts in Thibodaux, Lockport, Golden Meadow, and justice of the peace wards may hold local traffic or ordinance matters before any appeal reaches district court.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Louisiana court, Lafourche Parish clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results.
