I was born in Baton Rouge, La. on April 9, 1990 and attend The Dunham School where I graduated with Honors. I received a B.S. in business management from Louisiana State University and went on to earn my Law Degree from Southern University Law Center with honors. I'm admitted to the Louisiana Bar Association and admitted to practice in all three United States District Courts and the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. My passion and practice is dedicated to aiding individuals that have been injured and protecting the rights of consumers.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and I have been licensed to practice since 2015. Throughout my legal career, I have had extensive experience in resolving a range of legal disputes in a variety of practice areas, including commerical/business, leases and real estate transactions, general civil disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, personal injury, insurance defense, and estate and probate.. Additionally, through my time working with corporate clients, I have obatined invaluable experience in drafting and negotiating contract documents for business to business transactions, construction contracts, commercial and residential lease(s), operating agreements, and general commercial contracts for goods and/or services.

I help transportation companies in their desire to focus comfortably on their core business by handling lawsuits that would otherwise distract them from what matters most.  My practice is unique because I develop close personal relationships with those I am able to help and because I have been recognized by my peers as a Louisiana Super Lawyer in Transportation and Martime law.

I have devoted my career to defending those accused of crime and to obtaining recovery for those injured due to the fault others.. As a criminal trial lawyer I have successfully litigated cases as small as municipal court misdemeanors through the most consequential involving large quantities of narcotics, federal gun offenses or homicide.. During my undergraduate years at LSU and through law school at Southern University Law Center, I worked for personal injury firms that specialized in representing victims that suffered significant personal injuries.  I took that experience with me when I joined our firm in 2004 and becoming a partner in 2006.. I am a lifetime member of Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys.  I am one of a very few attorneys in the State of Louisiana that have been asked to be a member of the National College of DUI Defense.  I am also an active member of the Baton Rouge Bar of Criminal Justice.. I have been a guest speaker at seminars hosted by the Louisiana Public Defender Board, The Baton Rouge Association of Woman Attorneys and the Baton Rouge Bar Association, Family Law Section.. Through my criminal defense practice, I developed specializations in the following:

I have closed my office and am not taking new clients.  I will continue to assist former and existing clients.

I have been practicing law for over 20 years, with an emphasis in commercial real estate, corporate, finance and business work.  Prior to joining WARC, I worked for 13 years at a large regional law firm.  I can bring you big firm solutions in a small firm environment.

I have been practicing in the area of workers compensation for 13 years and spent the last 6 to 7 years representing injured workers.  My practice focuses on helping injured workers get the benefits they are owed.. If you have been hurt at work and are scared or don't know what to do, I can tell you the rules of workers compensation, how it will likely end and let you know what rights you have.. I am originally from Monroe, LA, but have lived in Denham Springs, LA for the last 10 years.  I have been married for 18 years and have three daughters.

I have always wanted to be an attorney. Every day, I become more and more passionate about serving others and learning as much as I can. Advocacy is a principle, or skill dating back to the beginning of time to ensure that those who felt small had a platform to proclaim their position on various matters which threatened them. My goal is to be a zealous advocate for each client who chooses to work with us. I am hard working, caring and super diligent. My friends say that I am either being silly, or fighting in court---I kinda agree and, I like it!

I graduated law school with Cum Laude Honors, and was ranked in the Top 10 and Top 10% of my class. I acheived top marks in Real Estate, Bankruptcy, and Estates. I am experienced in the court room, in mediation, and in government.. My specialty is finding creative solutions that help you get from where you are to where you want to be! I became a lawyer to help people solve complicated problems, and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your legal needs.

I graduated from LSU in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a Minor in Sociology.  I then attended LSU's paralegal studies program and received a certificate in 2005.  I was then hired by Miller and Hampton Attorneys as a personal injury legal assistant.. After working side by side with Attorney Gregory Miller for 5+ years, I attended Southern University Law Center full time while still employed with the firm.  While in law school, due to my previous experience, I received awards in Advanced Legal Writing and Legal Research.  I received my Juris Doctorate in 2013 and Miller and Hampton then became "Miller, Hampton, & Hilgendorf.". Over the last 8 years, I have been involved with the firm in various personal injury matters as well as litigation through various employment laws including Title VII and state discrimination laws, Federal Labor Standards Act, Family Medical Leave Act, and Unpaid Wage claims, to name a few.. I have enjoyed helping those being treated unjustly whether its by an insurance company or by an employer.  Our firm believes in protecting people's rights.

I currently handle both personal injury and criminal defense cases.  If you have a need for your family, in any area of law, please call me!  As an experienced attorney, the greatest gifts I can provide your family are my legal knowledge and the confidence you will have knowing that I care about your family.  A lawyer's role is to provide help without judging, and in me, I hope you will find an open heart for you when the world seems to collapse on you to go with a keen mind which will enable us to find a solution for you in the darkest of moments.. I began my legal career in 2000 after graduating from Tulane Law School.  I worked at three different law firms and concentrated in diverse civil law arenas.  After beginning a family and blessed to have two beautiful daughters, Catherine and Caroline, I focused my life on raising them as a stay-at-home mom.  Now that the girls are beginning to grow up and are performing well at St. George Catholic School, I have been able to renew my legal career at Manasseh, Gill, Knipe & Belanger.

I believe that one of the most important skills a lawyer can have is the ability to listen. If I don't understand your needs and goals for a case we can never acheive a successful outcome. Before I went to law school I owned a small business in Baton Rouge and had hired lawyers on more than one occasion. It seemed that they never heard my concerns and I never knew what was going on in the cases. Because of that experience I make it important to hear the concerns of my clients and to keep them informed of the progress of their cases. The legal system is complex and if you are dealing with a legal issue you need to know that someone is on your side.

I began my career at a big law firm in New Orleans. Pretty much as soon as I got there, I was unhappy because there was a huge disconnect between what I had dreamed about when I went to law school and the reality of being a lawyer. I had dreamed about going to law school and coming out and making a difference in people’s lives, but in reality, practice in a law firm was totally transactional and didn’t truly serve our clients.. Here’s what I mean …. First of all, everything we did was billed on an hourly basis. And, as you can imagine at more than $400/hour, my clients wanted me to do everything as quickly as possible with as little communication as possible. They didn’t want to talk about their families and they were afraid to call when they had changes in their lives or questions about their businesses because they didn’t know how much that call would cost them and whether it was worth it.. As a result, often they would have life changes, such as a new baby, a divorce, a new property purchase, or a new business started, but I wouldn’t hear about it because they didn’t want to pay to tell me. And, that meant that their plan was destined to fail when their family needed it most because it would be out of date pretty quickly after we created it.. They would leave the office with their fancy binder of estate planning documents, go to the bank because I had told them to change the name of their bank account to transfer their account into their plan and then they’d forget what I said, and call the office, only to get my voicemail, and leave the bank without having transferred the account and then it would never happen.. This is likely what happened to the father-in-law of one of my colleagues. He died when she was in law school and even though he had spent $3,000 on an estate plan, after his death, she and her family were stuck dealing with his ex-wife and the probate court, even though that’s exactly why he had spent the money to do his estate planning, to keep them from having to deal w his ex-wife or the the courts.. She thought for sure his lawyer must have committed malpractice, but then after she went to work at one of the best law firms in the country and saw that they did it exactly the same way, and that most firms did. What she found out is that it wasn’t malpractice at all, it was common practice.. What I noticed when I was at the big firm is that clients would come in, we’d prepare some documents for them, they’d sign the documents (most often not having a clear sense of what they were signing) and then take the documents, stick them in a drawer and not look at them again.. That’s just what the typical estate planning experience had become. And I knew my clients’ plans would fail as a result.. There was nothing abnormal about it, but it didn’t feel right to me. We didn’t have a mechanism for following up with our clients, making sure their assets were titled properly, or communicating regularly to make sure their plans continued to work throughout life.. So, I thought long and hard about whether I could change the way things were done at the firm and I was so disillusioned with the process, I gave up practicing law altogether for a while – that’s how unhappy I was.. I opened this new firm with the idea of bringing back the Personal Family Lawyer relationship - where initial planning is just the beginning of the relationship and we’re focused on putting in place a plan we know we will work for you and the people you love.. So, here are some of the things we do differently based on my experience with the traditional model of estate planning.. First of all – nothing we do is billed on an hourly basis. Everything we do is billed flat fee, agreed to in advance, so there are no surprises. You’ll know exactly what it will cost to work with us, after we’ve gotten clear about what you want, and you’ll even be able to choose your own fee. Then, after the initial planning process, we have options so that you can ensure your plan stays up to date throughout your life, and again you’ll know exactly what that costs and choose your own fee there.. Second – I have a team of people here to support you. That means, if you are at the bank and call our office to get a quick answer about how to title an account, you don’t have to leave the bank and return on another day because there was no one available to answer your question for hours or days. You’ll be able to speak to someone to get your questions answered right away. And, if you need to speak with me about something that my team cannot answer, we’ll get a call scheduled on my calendar so that I can be prepared and you can be prepared and we won’t waste your time playing phone tag.. Third – we see planning as just the beginning of the relationship whereas in the past the plan was viewed as a one-time transactional event.. Once you sign your planning documents, that is when the relationship really begins. At no additional charge, we review your plan at least every three years. And, we have two levels of membership programs that almost all of our clients participate in – either the gold program which provides you with a yearly plan review and unlimited changes to your plan or the gold plus program that includes an annual meeting with your attorney, CPA and financial advisor, plus ongoing legal guidance throughout the year.. Finally, we don’t just focus on passing on your financial assets, but your whole family wealth. When my colleague’s dad died, he left behind a little money, but more important to her, especially because the money was gone quickly, he left her a voicemail on her phone. It said “Lex, it’s your dad. Call me back.” And she listened to that voicemail all the time. Until the day it got deleted accidentally. She was devastated. That’s why we created a process and include it in every plan where we guide you to pass on more than your money, but also your intellectual, spiritual and human assets. We include that with every plan and our clients and their families love having that as part of their plan.. These are just a few of the things that make our firm different. We’re the best fit for people who don’t just want to leave their family a set of documents that may or may not work, but instead want to use the estate planning process to pass on a legacy of love and care and ease. And keep their family out of court and out of conflict.. On a personal note, I got into estate planning in the first place because of what happened when my grandfather passed away when I was about 10 years old. Because he didn’t leave a plan, when he died, it tore our family apart. My mom and her 6 siblings were in and out of court for almost 30 years to settle a modest estate, and to this day one side of the family doesn’t speak to the other.. I believe that proper estate planning is something that you do for the people you love the most. You won’t be the one to benefit from the plan we are going to design for you today – the people who will benefit are the people you love the most who will be dealing with things after you’re gone.

I began my career as an attorney by representing injured people. Over the years, I have gravitated toward helping people with planning for their futures. I believe that proper planning is one of the most loving gifts a person can give. Through the creation of personalized and powerful legal documents, I help my clients memorialize their wishes, providing them with peace of mind while they are living and giving a true gift to loved ones after an unexpected event such as disability, incapacity or death.

I became an attorney because I wanted to help people.  It is rewarding knowing that I have been able to make a difference in another person’s life, to give them a voice, and to assist them in navigating a difficult time.
