About this firm

My legal career is built on a simple principle: no one will outwork me.

Before becoming an attorney, I spent years working as a contractor out in the field. That experience gave me a unique "blue-collar" work ethic and a sharp eye for the small details that others often miss. I carried that mindset into the legal world, eventually serving as In-House Counsel for a large structural moving and shoring company while building my practice.

While my legal background is diverse—ranging from construction law to public service—my primary focus is now defending those facing criminal charges in Louisiana. Whether I’m handling a DUI/DWI, drug offense, domestic abuse case, or a firearm possession charge, I approach every case with the same work ethic and attention to detail.

During law school, I was a recipient of the John J. Curtin Jr. Award for Public Service, a reflection of my commitment to helping people navigate their most difficult moments. I don’t just "manage" cases; I dig into the facts to build the strongest possible defense for my clients.
