Stephen serves local, regional, and national clients with defense and risk mitigation through pre-suit investigation, trial, and appeal. He focuses on defense litigation that includes the areas of transportation and trucking, premises liability, first- and third-party personal injury, insurance coverage, and contractual liability.

When not representing his clients, Stephen enjoys spending time with his family and enjoying Louisiana’s well-earned reputation as a “Sportsman’s Paradise.” Also, as a Louisiana State University alumni, Stephen enjoys following LSU Tigers football and baseball.
