Do you need to talk to a lawyer?

My college years have informed my approach to dealing with the powerful.

In college at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, I did the sensible thing and majored in business. I had the opportunity to spend a summer in Washington D.C. studying Economics at Georgetown in Washington, D.C. and working on Capitol Hill. It was in Washington where I learned one of my most valuable life lessons. Riding the elevator and the subway with the powerful people I saw on the evening news and on CSPAN every day, I realized they didn’t have a halo over their head, and that they were not any better than me or anyone else-they just had power.

My work with other attorneys and with the Tangipahoa, Livingston and St. Helena Parish Courts have informed my approach to Criminal Law.

During law school, I was drawn to criminal and family law, and was fortunate to work for State District Judges Ray Chutz in Amite and M. Douglas Hughes in Livingston before I was sworn in as a new attorney. I was fortunate to learn the criminal practice from three great criminal attorneys, Frank Holthaus in Baton Rouge, Wayne Stewart in Livingston Parish, and Ron Macaluso in Hammond. Most recently I was fortunate enough to learn from Gerry Spence in Wyoming at the Trial Lawyer’s College Death Penalty School. Each of these brilliant legal minds have helped make me the attorney I am today.

If It Matters To You, It Matters To Me.
