I was born and raised in Lafayette. I am blessed with a beautiful and supportive wife, Sarah, and two inspiring and wonderful young children. We enjoy boating, water skiing, hunting, fishing and spending time with family. We are active members of Asbury United Methodist Church, where Sarah and I are fortunate to teach Sunday school and mentor young children.. I graduated from Acadiana High School in 1982, from University of Southwestern Louisiana in 1986, and from Louisiana State University Law School in 1990. After law school, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I worked for the Texas Railroad Commission, enforcing violations of oil, gas, and transportation regulations. The best part of that job was I met Sarah there in 1992.. In 1993, I left the Railroad Commission to do what I felt I was meant to do as a lawyer – represent real people instead of corporate or governmental interests. I spent a large part of my time representing persons injured or killed as a result of medical malpractice, and learned that ability from a remarkably intelligent and capable physician/lawyer.. I returned to Lafayette in 2000, and opened my own law practice dedicated to representing persons injured in cases of medical malpractice, 18-wheeler wrecks, car wrecks, industrial and boat accidents, and legal and other professional malpractice, as well as claims involving breach of contract, consumer fraud, and wrongful denial of insurance benefits.. I am active with Lafayette Volunteer Lawyers, a project coordinated by the Lafayette Parish Bar Association. I am especially proud of this work, as I assist women who are unable to hire a lawyer obtain protective orders against their abusers.. I attended and graduated Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College as one of only 110 graduates from around the nation that year, and remain active in post graduate seminars and learning at TLC.. I am a member of the Louisiana Association for Justice, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, American Association for Justice, Louisiana State Bar, Texas State Bar, Lafayette Parish Bar Association, and am admitted to practice in multiple federal courts throughout Louisiana and Texas.

38 years in a litigation practice that currently entails almost exclusively defense of oil related companies in high profile property contaminaiton lawsuits ("legacy lawsuits" as they are known in Louisiana).  Been with the same lawfirm the entire time.  Vice-President of the law firm, but would prefer to be in the court room as opposed ot the board room.. Martindale Hubbell AV rated.  Acadiana Profile Best Lawyers of 2016 in two catagories: Environmental Law and Appellate Practice.. Litigation goal is to get the client out of the litigaiton as reasonably and quickly as possible.  Trials generally benefit two classes of people:  plaintiff lawyers and defense lawyers.  If we look upon the lawsuit as a business expense as opposed to a perosnal affront the results are usually more palatable.  Sometimes, reason goes out the window and then you try the case.. In addiiton to contamination cases, I enjoy the appellate practice very much.  If the case demands it, it can be of great assistence to have oyur appellate counsel at trial preparing the record for errors that may save the case on appeal.  90% of your appeal is won at the trial level.. I graduated from Louisiana State University and also attended the prestigious University of Vermont Environmental Law Center in 1989 for a concentrated course of study in Environmental Law, studying such topics as CERCLA, RCRA and Risk Assessment. I was admitted to the Louisiana bar in 1979. I am  also admitted to practice before all of the Louisiana U.S. District Courts (Western, Middle, and Eastern Districts of Louisiana) and before the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth and Eleventh Circuits. I am a member of the honor fraternity of Phi Kappa Phi and graduated from the Louisiana State University Law Center as a member of the Order of the Coif.  I was also a member of the LSU Law Center Moot Court Board. I am a member of the Lafayette Parish, Louisiana State, and American Bar Associations as well as the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel.. I started my legal career with the Onebane Law Firm in 1979, and hve been in practice with the firm since that time. As noted above, my current area of practice has concentrated on what has become known as “legacy lawsuits”. I represent both oil companies and operators in suits filed for restoration and money damages allegedly arising from contamination by the release of hydrocarbons, produced water, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and other harmful substances in conjunction with historic oil and gas operations. I am also representing defendants in various lawsuits filed claiming violation of the State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act of 1978.. I also head the Appellate Practice group in the firm and have significant experience in appeals and writ applications in a variety of areas.. The following is a sampling of cases of significance in which I have been involved: Diamond Crystal Salt Company v. Texaco, Inc. (damage claim for loss of salt mine due to collapse of drilling rig; represented Diamond Crystal Salt Company); Meredith v. Ieyoub (action challenging constitutionality of Louisiana Attorney General hiring private attorneys to sue oil and gas companies for environmental damages on contingency fee basis; represented Robert Meredith, et al, and the Louisiana Independent Oil & Gas Producers); American Waste and Pollution Control, Inc. v.
