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 ).

James E. Sudduth, III is the founder and driving force behind Sudduth and Associates. As a Lake Charles native he witnessed the lack of growth and direction present in his beloved city and decided to become the force of change the city needed. James knew that to accomplish this goal he would have to temporarily relocate to Baton Rouge. After law school, James returned home to serve as an Assistant District Attorney in the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s office, and during his tenure he was promoted to Misdemeanor Section Chief. When offered a second promotion, to the Felony Division, James declined stating that he was being called to serve the public in a different arena."At the end of the end of the day it isn't about the amount of money you bring home or the prestige attached to your name; rather it is the satisfaction of a job well done and knowing that despite your limited resources you have accomplished the near impossible. It is about making a difference in people's lives and having the desire to serve them when no one else will. This is what it means to be a true servant to the public."

I specialize in Criminal Defense and am driven by a passion for the courtroom and representing the interests of those who are in need of restitution, recovery, or exoneration. I represent those charged with very serious offenses as well as those charged with petty ones and invest the same level of work ethic into every case and client behind it. I've achieved two overturned convictions on behalf of clients seeking appeals, revealing exculpatory evidence suppressed by the State that ultimately proved innocence on behalf of those charged. Altogether, I consider it my life’s purpose to ensure those who are wrongly convicted, underrepresented, or overcharged experience the just defense they rightly deserve.

I have been actively practicing law for 40 years.  My primary area of practice is bankrutpcy and business law.  I have represented clients in Chapter 7 Liquidation cases, Chapter 13 Consumer Reorganization cases, Chapter 12 Farm cases, and Chapter 11 Business Reorganization cases throughout those 40 years.  I represent debtors and creditors.. I graduated from McNeese State University with a B.S. in Economics and LSU Law School with a Doctor of Jurisprudence.  I have been married for 47 years with three grown children and five grandchildren.  I am a vetran of the United States Army and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1973.  I was discharged from the Army with the rank of 1st Lieutenant in 1975.. Don't believe the talk on the street about the bankrutpcy laws. If you are in financial trouble, we can help.

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.
