Practice Areas

Nobody calls my office on a good day.

By the time someone finds this page, something has already gone wrong โ€” an arrest, a spouse who filed first, an accident that upended everything. The legal system does not pause while you figure out what to do next. It keeps moving, and every day without a plan is a day the other side is building theirs.

I practice in three areas because that is where Calcasieu Parish families need a reliable, sensible attorney. Criminal charges threaten your freedom and your record. Custody and divorce fights threaten your family and your financial future. Serious injuries from someone else’s negligence threaten everything you have built. In each of those situations, the outcome depends less on the facts than on who understands the system well enough to use it.

You don’t want an attorney who is irrationally aggressive, inexperienced, or too passive. I have been in the 14th JDC long enough to know how these cases move, where the leverage is, and when to press hard. That is not a marketing line โ€” it is the difference between a plea you did not have to take, a custody schedule that actually works for your kids, and a settlement that reflects what you actually lost. If you are here, you are already in the middle of something that matters. Let’s talk.
