Why We Built This Site
Louisiana gives the public broad access to many court records through the Louisiana Public Records Law, including La. R.S. 44:1 and related Title 44 provisions. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. In Calcasieu Parish, the Clerk of Court keeps civil suits, divorces, successions, criminal records, minutes, marriage records, and recording records for the 14th Judicial District Court. City courts in Lake Charles and Sulphur handle many traffic, misdemeanor, eviction, small-claims, and lower-level civil matters. The Sheriff's Office manages jail and law-enforcement records. We pull together the contact details, search portals, fee schedules, and request steps for these offices into one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Louisiana court, the Calcasieu Parish Clerk of Court, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, the 14th Judicial District Court, or any 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.
