[client_recommendation_perc] => [client_reco_count] => [client_review] => [lawyer_reviews_link] => [disabled] => 0 [bio] => I come from a family of Lawyers.  My father practiced law in Lake Charles, LA from 1958 until his passing in 2002.  I have been practicing law for 30 years.  My career began in Texas, but I settled back Lake Charles, LA in 1996.  I still maintain my Texas license given the close proximity of the Texas border to Lake Charles.. In the early years of my practice, I handled cases in all areas of the law.  However, a significant part of my practice has always been in the field of injury law. And I have been fortunate enough to be very successful in this area.  Several of the injury awards are on my web page.. As I practiced injury law, I also handled countless Bankruptcy and Family Law Cases.  In 2005 I chose to broaden my practice into  the area of criminal law and began handling drug offense cases.  It wasn't long into my criminal practice that I realized there was a need for lawyers who thoroughly understood how to defend a DWI or DUI case.  Soon thereafter, I began the process of learning the ins-and-outs of DWI law.  I ultimately joined the National College of DUI Defense which requires extensive study into this particular area of law.  To further hone my defense skills, I got trained and certified in administering the Standardized Field Sobriety Test just like law enforcement officers.  This gives me the ability to evaluate their administering of the test and go toe-to-toe with them during cross-examination should your case goes to trial.. To sum it up in a nutshell, I am a dedicated lawyer.  I am proud of what I do; I am also aware of the serious responsibility bestowed when a client entrusts their case to me.  If you care to discuss your case further, feel free to give me a call.

Since 1977, Ms. Stagg has worked almost exclusively in public interest law firms and agencies or as a self-employed sole practitioner, representing real people with real problems. As a new attorney, she was taught what she calls the No. 1 lesson that many lawyers never learn — to always ask what the client wants. Toward that goal, Ms. Stagg conducts a "legal checkup," taking time with each client to understand and problem-solve the legal issue at hand and to address any other legal matters on the horizon.. Catherine Stagg concentrates her practice in Social Security Disability (SSD and SSI), family and juvenile law and criminal defense. She can also counsel and represent clients in many areas of law, including immigration, wills and successions, employment discrimination and civil rights.. Local Roots and Long Experience. Ms. Stagg graduated from Sulphur High School in Sulphur, Louisiana, in 1972, left to see the world and eventually came full circle back to Calcasieu Parish. She has operated her own law firm, Catherine L. Stagg, Attorney at Law, L.L.C., in Lake Charles since 2006. She is admitted to practice in all state and federal courts of Louisiana, and is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Southwest Louisiana Bar Association and the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR)..

Sean has years of experience in Family Law, Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, Contract Litigation, Criminal Litigation, and Property Disputes. In his time as an Assistant District Attorney in Calcasieu Parish, Sean gained invaluable case management and courtroom experience. His typical caseload at the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney's Office was 400-600 files, over two divisions at the 14th Judicial District Court, and one division at the Lake Charles City Court.. Sean knows the feeling of loss, and the fears associated with the immediate and long-term future after suffering loss. For a period of seven years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sean became addicted to methamphetamines and other substances. Through this addiction, he lost his relationships with family and friends, and became homeless and unemployed. Sean hit rock bottom in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. By the grace of God, Sean was given a second chance at life and entered treatment. Through the recovery process, Sean returned to college and received a degree in Accounting, advanced to Law School at LSU, and began a rewarding career in the legal field. (for more on that, see ). Because of this, Sean is in a unique position to empathize with those suffering loss of any kind, and uses his personal experience to assure his clients that the future is not hopeless, and they will rebuild their lives.
