In my 23 years of practice I have not only mastered the law, but I have also learned how different courts in southeastern Louisiana operate. My approach to any case is to prepare like we are going to trial but hope we can reach a settlement before trial is necessary. If a settlement cannot be reached, we’ll be ready. I have presented cases and won at all levels of court in the state, including the Louisiana Supreme Court, The Court of Appeal, Juvenile Court and the State Courts.
