Barbara was born and raised in Cottonport, LA, a small French Catholic town in Avoyelles Parish. Cottonport is known for its annual Egg Knocking Contest, which attracts people from across the State.

After graduating from LSU, as a woman was discouraged from applying for or attending law school. But nonetheless she persisted and was accepted to the Paul M. Hebert School of Law. During the summer months, she clerked for the Knoll Law Firm and worked with now retired Supreme Court Justice Jeannette Knoll who served as a role model to her.

For 21 years, she worked there as a supervisor of 16 attorneys and paralegals.

Avvo's arbitrary numerical rating of this attorney is based solely on the lack of information provided in this profile and is not reflective of the quality of the attorney's work or experience.. "Avvo gives each attorney a numerical score on a scale of 1 to 10 based on the information in that attorney's profile. The less information there is in a lawyer's profile, the less likely it is that an attorney will have a good ranking. Thus, attorneys who want to have a good Avvo score have no choice but to devote a lot of time to developing their profiles."
