Lafourche Parish District Attorney Kristine Russell announced yesterday that the Thibodaux and Galliano offices are reopening to the public. They will be open beginning Tuesday, May 26th, the day after Memorial Day. This announcement comes after a successful re-opening of the 17th Judicial District Courts this past week.

As a precaution, measures have been taken to increase the safety of staff and the public that visits the offices by conducting daily office cleanings, conducting daily staff health evaluations, establishing sanitation stations, and outsourcing a BioSafe Germ cleaning. In addition to the cleaning measures and health screenings, guidelines have been established for visitors.
