I have practiced personal injury since being sworn in October 10, 1986.  I have enjoyed practicing law and have been very successful.  I look forward to representing clients and to the litigation process, including trial.  I have been recognized as a Superlawyer, but do not beleive I should pay an advertising company for that privilege.  I have tried over 500 cases to judgment and verdict.  I have argued cases on appeal and to the Lousiana Supreme Court.  I have been selectively admitted on a pro hac basis to courts in Texas and Washington State.  I practice in State and Federal Court.
