Legal Hotline

Legal advice without the hourly fees

Legal Hotline Professional Counsel

The Louisiana REALTORS® Legal Hotline provides access to legal counsel for our broker members. Questions received through Legal Hotline help in tracking issues of concern and can aid in developing programs and services to address them. Broker members may submit questions pertaining to real estate law and compliance issues only; this service is not intended for specific transactions. Please fill out the form below to submit a question. Your request will then be referred to the appropriate legal counsel, and a response will be sent to you in a few business days.  Response time is dependent upon a number of factors including but not limited to the date and time the request is received, the complexity of the request, and the volume of responses to requests being prepared at any given time.

I also understand and agree that I may not convey, represent or imply to others, including, without limitations, clients, customers or other licensees that information obtained through this service is legal advice rendered by or on behalf of the Louisiana Association of REALTORS®. I also understand that the Legal Hotline attorney will provide periodic summaries of the Legal Hotline inquiries, without attribution to any person(s) for educational purposes of the Louisiana Association of REALTORS® and that my questions may appear in LAR publications.
