Jennifer Treadway Morris is of counsel to the law office of Shockey & Associates, a PLC, where they have assisted clients to maximize their income tax savings through particular knowledge of a little known tax credit for conservation under the US Internal Revenue Code, be it wild life, timber land, wet lands, or historic buildings.

For more information, please see the areas listed below or contact me online or by calling (225) 291-7500.

Real Estate Development Law: I represent the interests of developers, investors and other interested parties in a wide range of development issues, including Land use planning and zoning law matters.

Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Mediation: I am skilled at handling mediation for clients involved in disputes concerning commercial and industrial construction contract drafting, commercial and industrial construction disputes, or other commercial and industrial construction or litigation matters.

Boundary Disputes: Commercial boundary disputes may have an impact on a business. I skillfully assist property owners over property boundary disputes concerning where the dividing line is or should be between two adjacent landowners as well as rights one land owner may have over another's property under Louisiana property law.  I handle these matters through mediation or in court whenever necessary.

Building and Subdivision Restrictions: Whether you are constructing a single building, a complex or an entire subdivision, there may be restrictions imposed by the city, county and/or state. I advise clients and help them adhere to any set regulations in order to successfully complete their construction projects. Also, serving clients by drafting new subdivision restrictions, creating and drafting new homeowner or subdivision association organizations and restrictions, as well as continuing advice to subdivision leadership on enforcement of restrictions. Litigation over building, municipal, or zoning restrictions or codes as well as amendments to existing provisions.

Tax Conservation Easements for Timber, Farming and Hunting Land: We are well versed in a little known tax minimizing provision found in the US tax code to save you from paying so much of your hard earned money to the IRS. Should you own wetlands, undeveloped land, farms, hunting property, timber forests, oil producing land, or historic property, contact us to see whether you can take advantage of this tax saving provision designed to give business owners and individuals incentives to help protect our environment and wildlife.

Wetlands Law: Following Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Gustav, Louisiana and the US government became keenly aware of the substantial impact the eroding coast line in Louisiana has for so many people and industries. There are now many more provisions in our law to protect wetlands in Louisiana. Contact us to see whether you qualify for tax credits or other regulations or restrictions apply to your land which created liabilities upon you or your business for failure to comply. Ignorance of the law is not a defense to a valid law or restriction.

Historic Property: When a landmark, site or building is deemed historic, it is important that it be protected and preserved whenever possible. I provide representation to clients seeking to have property classified as an historic site and also assist in ensuring legal adherence in the historic preservation of a building or site. Additionally, there may be tax credits available to you for obtaining the historic status for your building. Contact us to take advantage of these laws.
