Top Best Criminal Defense Lawyers | 14601 Available

In both federal and state court, I have built a reputation for successful and aggressive representation in complex cases in the areas of criminal defense. If you have been arrested or are under investigation, you need an advocate who understands the situation and knows the justice system.. No matter the scale of the charge, you need an attorney trained and experienced in the nuances of defending criminal cases to make sure your rights are fully protected.. I have over ten years of experience producing extraordinary results for my clients, and I can put that experience to work for you.

Since receiving my law license in 2009, I have practiced criminal defense with the East Baton Rouge Parish Office of Public Defender as a misdemeanor and felony Assistant Public Defender. Throughout the course of my practice, have handled a multitude of criminal cases, including Second Degree Murder, Aggravated and Forcible Rape, Distribution Charges, and many more. Prior to working as an attorney with the Public Defender's Office, I had the opportunity to work with Hillar Moore, III as a legal assistant and with the law firm Moore, Walter, Thomas, Thompson, Papillion, and Cullens, LLC as a receptionist/"gopher". My experience with both helped me succeed in law school and prepared me for the actual practice of law. I received my law degree at Southern University Law Center in 2009 where I attended school while working full time. I received my Bachelors from Louisiana State University where I double majored in English Literature and Women's and Gender Studies. I attended high school at Lakeside High School in Lake Village, Arkansas.  Currently, I am now the Clinical Professor for Southern University Law Center's Criminal Clinic where I am able to use my experience from the Public Defender's Office to help third year law students trasition from the role of student to the hopeful role as a practicing attorney in the field of criminal defense.  Through the Criminal Clinic, I am able to provide representation to those indigent defendants that the Office of Public Defender is otherwise unable to represent.

I currently handle both personal injury and criminal defense cases.  If you have a need for your family, in any area of law, please call me!  As an experienced attorney, the greatest gifts I can provide your family are my legal knowledge and the confidence you will have knowing that I care about your family.  A lawyer's role is to provide help without judging, and in me, I hope you will find an open heart for you when the world seems to collapse on you to go with a keen mind which will enable us to find a solution for you in the darkest of moments.. I began my legal career in 2000 after graduating from Tulane Law School.  I worked at three different law firms and concentrated in diverse civil law arenas.  After beginning a family and blessed to have two beautiful daughters, Catherine and Caroline, I focused my life on raising them as a stay-at-home mom.  Now that the girls are beginning to grow up and are performing well at St. George Catholic School, I have been able to renew my legal career at Manasseh, Gill, Knipe & Belanger.

After growing up in New Hampshire, I attended college in Montreal and graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2012. Never one to settle down for too long, I have lived in five states, the District of Columbia, and three other countries. For the time being, though, I feel immensely lucky to call Port Townsend my home.While I absolutely love to argue in (and out of) court, I am most passionate about working with clients. A lawyer has to be able to explain the legal system, to understand a client's goals, and to approach each problem with the client's interests at the forefront. This is a service industry, and I am proud of my ability to connect with the people I serve.My first love is criminal defense, but I am also available to help people with family law and landlord-tenant issues.

After receiving my B.A. from Rutgers University, I chose to pursue my dream of becoming an attorney.  While I was finishing up law school at Rutgers, I began an internship with a prominent criminal defense firm.  Upon completion of  law school and passing the bar exam, I immediately began representing clients and defending the constitution in our courts.  After working as an associate until 2003, I opened my own law practice in 2003.  In 2015, in an effort to better serve my client's differing legal needs, I chose to diversify my practice.  I joined the law firm of Liebling Malamut, LLC as the head of the criminal practice group.  I now specialize in all aspects of criminal defense including the most serious felony charges to the most minor municipal court charges. I personally handle each case; I do not transfer your important matter to a junior associate as many of the larger firms will often do.  I am an expert on search and seizure law and will provide you with a vigorous defense in both State and Federal Court.. I have succesfully argued two matters before the NJ Supreme Court.. In the search and seizure area, I am particularly proud of one of my major accomplishments on behalf of a client.  In 2013, I argued the matter of State v. Brown, 216 N.J. 508 (2014). In that case, the State attempted to justify the illegal search of a home based on an argument that the house was abondoned.  I was able to convince the NJ Supreme Court that the house was not an abandoned home and thus the search was in violation of my client's constitutional rights.. I likewise successfully argued another matter in the NJ Supreme Court whereby the State was attempting to disbar my attorney client. I was able to keep the attorney from being disbarred.  The matter resulted in a suspension only, thereby preserving my client's ability to earn a living for he and his family.. I appeared on the Nancy Grace show as an expert commentator with regard the the murder case of State v. Fred Neulander.  Mr. Neulander was a Rabbi who was at the time on trial for hiring a hitman to murder his wife. He was ultimately convicted and is serivng a life sentence.
