When asked why I stayed in New Orleans I always reply “look around…you don’t get any of this anywhere else.” I’m talking about the people, the culture, the new restaurants starting up on every corner, the festivals, the music, the love citizens have for their city.  That is what made a small town Georgia girl leave home and stay.. That’s right, I’m your typical small town Southern Georgia peach plucked from the tree but I somehow landed right here in the CBD in New Orleans starting my own law firm with a husband I have the privilege of working alongside every day. How does that happen?. I grew up outside of Atlanta and went to the University of Georgia and studied Psychology and Art History.  While at UGA I worked in the Clinical and Social Psychology Departments as research assistant. This led me to work at a domestic abuse shelter for battered women and children. It was during my time at UGA that I developed a fascination with the law and the legal system.  After visiting New Orleans to watch the Dawgs play in the Sugarbowl, I was hooked and knew I had to attend law school here in this great city.. I moved to New Orleans in 2008 and haven’t looked back since.  I studied law at Loyola University New Orleans and received both International Law and Environmental Law certificates.  While I’m proud of these certificates, I was most influenced by my time spent as a member of the Trial Advocacy Program (Mock Trial).  It was during this time that I honed my skills as a trial attorney and became more interested in criminal defense and personal injury.  I was honored to serve as their President my senior year and was chosen amongst the professors and administration at Loyola to receive the Order of the Barristers.  I was humbled to receive such a coveted award for superb oral advocacy.  Today, that is one of my favorite and greatest accomplishments.. With my experience and education, I was accepted into the Loyola University Clinic Program and my final year I was able to practice law as a student practitioner under the guidance of a mentor.  During this time, I worked alongside other attorneys within the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office in their Juvenile, Criminal and Appeals Divisions. In addition, I practiced in the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office and was fortunate enough to even help out on a first degree murder trial.   Without these experiences, I would not be the accomplished and confident attorney I am today.
