I returned to my hometown in 2015 and spent a year working as a legal assistant to Attorneys Marc W. Judice and Daniel C. Palmintier at Judice & Adley law firm. These early lessons on best practices in a legal career were formative for me, and I carry them with me to this day.. After enrolling at LSU Law in 2016, I was chosen to serve as a legal intern for Louisiana Sea Grant – a division of the federal environmental program governed by NOAA.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, and have lived in Algiers since 1976.. I practice primarily in the area of consumer Bankruptcy law.. I handle all aspects of your case personally:  I do not have paralegals or others prepare your Bankruptcy, so I am very familiar with your case and your needs.

I strongly believe in providing quality yet affordable legal services to my clients.  In my 27 years of experience practicing law in federal and state court, I have found that hard work, a solid plan, and effective communication with clients are critically important in achieving excellent results.. My practice is divided into two areas:  Ciminal defense and general civil practice.  On the criminal defense side, I represent individuals in a wide variety of cases in both federal and state court.  Most of the cases I accept are those with charges that are not considered crimes of violence.. My general civil practice focuses on represnting small corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships with all of their legal needs.  These areas include business formation, contract negotiations, drafting and reviewing contracts, leases, insurance issues, civil litigation of all kinds, including unfair trade practice cases, trademark and copyright matters, and collections.

I started my legal career in 2014 at Acadiana Legal Services Corporation in Lafayette, Louisiana, representing foster children who were placed in Louisiana’s “Child in Need of Care” court program due abusive or neglectful situations at home. I consider it one of the hardest but most rewarding experiences of my life. Every single one of these resilient children impacted me and I consider myself honored to have been able to be a voice for each one of them. This experience also gave me immediate exposure in the courtroom in sixteen juvenile courts across South Louisiana.. Loving the courtroom experience and always wanting to be a litigator, I moved back to New Orleans and on to a clerkship at the 24th Judicial District Court in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, where I spent just over three years serving as law clerk for Judges John J. Molaison, Jr., and Frank A. Brindisi. I gained invaluable experience learning how the best trial attorneys write, argue a case, select a jury panel, and prepare a case for trial.. As a current trial attorney at Scott Vicknair, LLC, I have used those experiences in Court to develop my trial skills. I have learned along the way that giving each case time and attention to detail is crucial to its success, and I work hard to ensure each case I handle gets the time and attention it deserves. I also believe that being personally accessible to my clients is important and will always be available for questions and updates.. In my practice, I primarily represent individuals who have suffered personal injuries due to car and trucking collisions, individuals who have experienced damage to their home or land and cannot resolve the claim with their insurance company, and wrongful death claims. I have also handled employment law and wage disputes and have successfully litigated breach of contract claims and real estate disputes. I truly enjoy engaging with a jury and navigating the judicial system, and I am grateful when clients trust me with the issues that matter most to them.. Initially from Lafayette, I attended college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where I graduated magna cum laude in business administration in 2011. I then moved to New Orleans where I earned my juris doctor from the University of Loyola College of Law in 2014. I am admitted to practice law before all state and federal courts in Louisiana.

I started Mitchell & Associates because I wanted to be able to do more for my clients. Up until that point I worked at a prestigious law firm representing big, corporate and insurance industry type clients.  My job was to defend them at all cost, even when they were wrong. I did my job, and I did my job well.. In 1999 I walked out of the Firm with one file, a case where my client was seriously hurt in a car accident, determined to practice law the way I wanted to and for the clients I wanted to.  I was able to sit down behind my desk and take as much time as needed to learn a person’s case inside and out.  I was able to find the details other attorneys would miss.  I was able to make sure I did all I could to make sure my clients got what they were entitled to under the law.  As my practice grew I had the opportunity to spend time handling many different types of cases, each with its own unique set of facts that had to be completely understood.. Years later, after having represented families whose loved ones were mistreated in nursing homes, patients that were hurt when doctors were supposed to heal, and hundreds of people exposed to toxic mold in a run-down office building, my Firm stands ready to represent you and your loved ones.  If you need an attorney to help you with your insurance dispute, case against a nursing home, on the job accident or any injury caused by someone else’s fault, please call me.
