Attorney
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70810
I attended Southeastern Louisiana University for my undergraduate studies, where I majored in political science. Eager to attend law school as soon as possible, I applied to and was accepted on scholarship to Tulane Law School, the highest ranked law school in the state.
While at Tulane, I quickly discovered my passion for criminal law. After my first year, I obtained a prestigious clerkship with the Alabama Attorney General's office where I worked in the capital litigation section. It was here that I gained valuable insight on the workings of criminal law from the side of the prosecution. However, as someone who has always pulled for the underdog, I realized that working as a prosecutor would not satisfy me.
During my third year of law school, I worked for the Baton Rouge Public Defender's office. The sheer volume of cases each attorney was handling was disturbing to me. This was by no fault of the public defenders, who are great attorneys. Unfortunately, there are just way too many cases and too few attorneys to handle them. From there, I developed the idea to start a firm where I only practice criminal defense and limit my caseload.
