Two attorneys with deep Red River Parish roots have earned regional recognition for their work in the legal profession.

Kambrie Bethard Hays and Joseph “Joe” Hays were recently voted among SB Magazine’s People’s Choice Top Attorneys, an honor based on public voting and community recognition across the region.

The recognition highlights attorneys who have earned the trust and respect of clients, peers, and the communities they serve. Being named to the People’s Choice list reflects not only professional ability, but also reputation, service, and commitment to others.

For Red River Parish, the honor also shines a light on a longstanding local legal tradition through Bethard & Bethard, a firm that has served the Coushatta area for generations. The firm has been part of the community for decades, providing legal services while maintaining strong ties to the people of Red River Parish.

Kambrie Bethard Hays represents the third generation of Bethards to practice law through the family firm, continuing a legacy built over many years. Her recognition, alongside her husband Joe Hays, reflects both personal achievement and the continued strength of a family deeply rooted in service to the parish.

Friends and supporters say the honor is well deserved and a testament to the dedication both attorneys bring to their clients and community.

Being recognized in a regional publication such as SB Magazine places the Hays attorneys among a respected group of legal professionals and serves as a point of pride not only for their firm, but for Red River Parish as well.
