After clerking for two years for a United States District Judge in Shreveport, I practiced in Houston for a larger firm for a brief time. Since returning to Shreveport in 1979, I have generally represented small businesses and financial institutions, helping clients organize and develop their businesses and handling disputes that arise in connection with their businesses. My experience serving two terms on the Shreveport City Council (1982-1990) led to a state and local government practice that includes land use planning and controversies and well as appearances for and before state and local administrative agencies. Because of my father's long career in the life insurance business, I have maintained an interest and practice in estate planning, probate and elder law.. I have a passion for business development and practice growth, and I produce a "Business Development Thought for the Day" sent by email each business day.
