About the Attorney

Becky Vishnefski grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana. She graduated from Caddo Magnet in 1988 where she was active on the debate team. Becky earned her Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration from LSU Shreveport in 1997. She earned her Juris Doctor from LSU Law in 2000. In law school, Becky was the Articles Editor of the Louisiana Law Review and also competed on the Moot Court Team, winning Best Brief in the Region. She graduated 8th in her class (top 5 percent) and is a member of the Order of the Coif. After law school, Becky did a one year federal clerkship with the Honorable Frank J. Polozola, United States District Court, Middle District of Louisiana.

Becky's legal experience is extensive and widely varied. She was an Associate Attorney with Cook, Yancy, King & Galloway in Shreveport, practicing mainly labor and employment law defense. During that time she also led many training seminars on the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Family Medical Leave Act. Becky also spent three years with the federal court here in Shreveport, clerking for the Honorable S. Maurice Hicks, Jr., United States District Court, Western District of Louisiana. During that time she was also an Assistant Bar Examiner in Federal Civil Procedure. Becky eventually opened her own private practice as the owner of Castillo Law Firm, LLC., a bi-lingual law firm which represented clients primarily in family law, criminal defense and immigration matters.  

Becky launched Vishnefski Law Firm, LLC in 2019. She has been listed by SB Magazine as a "Top Attorney" every year since she opened the firm. Becky represents clients in family law matters such as divorce, child custody, paternal rights, community property and adoptions. She also represents out-of-state and military clients in enforcing and modifying custody judgments from other states. A smaller, more focused practice allows Becky to provide highly personalized service to each of her clients. Becky is also qualified as a family law mediator to help parties resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom. In 2025, Becky was honored to receive the Pro Bono Publico Award for her work with the Shreveport Pro Bono Project and the Shreveport Bar Foundation.

Becky lives in Bossier City with her husband David, who retired in 2023 with 30 years in law enforcement. Since his retirement, David has assisted Becky in the office. In 2026, he want back to work part-time as a bailiff at the Bossier Parish Courthouse.  They enjoy spending time with their son, Patrick, and grandsons, Thomas and Arthur, who live in Shreveport.   

 At Vishnefski Law Firm, we understand that life is busy and legal matters don't always happen close to home. We regularly represent clients who live outside Louisiana, including those living overseas.

Most legal matters can be handled conveniently by telephone, video conference, and email, minimizing the need for unnecessary trips to the office.

Consultations are available by telephone, Zoom, or in person at our Shreveport office, located at The Office Hub on Milam Street. This modern, upscale shared office space provides private conference rooms for confidential client meetings.

In-person appointments are available by appointment only.
