After 130 years, we are closing. If you were a client, below is the information to retrieve your file. The deadline for file retrieval is March 27, 2026.

If you believe that we have any of your client files still in our possession they will be available for transfer to you or your attorney on or before March 27, 2026. If you want us to see if a file is available for transfer to you or your attorney, please provide written authorization to make the transfer, including the name and address (or other contact information) of your lawyer. If you prefer to personally take possession of your files, you may pick up your file at our office located at 68031 Capital Trace Row, Mandeville, LA 70471, on or before March 27, 2026.

After March 27, 2026, we will promptly proceed with arranging for the destruction of any files (other than Last Wills) not transferred to an attorney or picked up by you (or our representative) from our office. The files not transferred will be destroyed by shredding to protect all confidential information. Since the firm is going out of business, we will have no office location available to further store client files.

The Last Wills and Testaments in our possession will be transferred to Kayla Martynenko, Attorney in Mandeville, LA, who can be reached by email at [email protected]. Ms. Martynenko will be attempting to reach out to those who signed Last Wills for which she takes possession. Let her know if you want another attorney to take possession of your Last Will or if you want to pick up the Last Will from her office.

Should you need additional information or want to arrange to pick up your file, you may contact our office manager, Vicky Cochran, by e-mail at [email protected] or by calling Vicky Cochran at (985) 292-2015. Be sure to contact Vicky by 5 PM, March 27, 2026, to arrange for transfer of your files.

We thank you for the opportunity to have served your legal needs and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
MILLING BENSON WOODWARD L.L.P
