Biography
One mistake does not have to mean an automatic judgment against you. I have extensive experience fighting for clients’ Constitutional rights and making sure the government is held to the highest standard possible. I am one of the only lawyers ever to win an unanimous life verdict in a Louisiana capital murder trial, and I bring that skill and passion for excellence to every case.
