Byrd Law, Special Needs Trusts is a specialized legal practice dedicated exclusively to estate planning for families with loved ones who have disabilities. Founded by attorney Jennifer Byrd, the firm focuses solely on creating tailored special needs trusts and comprehensive estate plans to protect individuals with special needs while preserving their eligibility for essential government benefits. What sets this practice apart is its deeply personal approach, informed by Jennifer’s own experience as a parent of a child with severe autism.

It serves parents, grandparents, and legal guardians throughout Louisiana, providing both in-person and remote consultations via Zoom.
