I have devoted my career to defending those accused of crime and to obtaining recovery for those injured due to the fault others.. As a criminal trial lawyer I have successfully litigated cases as small as municipal court misdemeanors through the most consequential involving large quantities of narcotics, federal gun offenses or homicide.. During my undergraduate years at LSU and through law school at Southern University Law Center, I worked for personal injury firms that specialized in representing victims that suffered significant personal injuries. I took that experience with me when I joined our firm in 2004 and becoming a partner in 2006.. I am a lifetime member of Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. I am one of a very few attorneys in the State of Louisiana that have been asked to be a member of the National College of DUI Defense. I am also an active member of the Baton Rouge Bar of Criminal Justice.. I have been a guest speaker at seminars hosted by the Louisiana Public Defender Board, The Baton Rouge Association of Woman Attorneys and the Baton Rouge Bar Association, Family Law Section.. Through my criminal defense practice, I developed specializations in the following:

8075 Jefferson Hwy , Baton Rouge , Louisiana 70809
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Many people ask me "when did you decide to become a lawyer". It goes back to when I was a teenager and my sister died because of the neglegence of doctors during "routine" wisdom teeth extraction. My sister, Marcae, suffered a violent reaction to general anesthesia and after several wrong decisions by her doctors, she passed at the age of 20. My parents were thoughtful people and sought help and education so that my brother and myself would be protected from similar fates during our lives. They received some wonderful help from many, and not so much from others. There were lawyers involved who completely botched their duties as advocates and counselors. After a poorly handled malpractice case was dismissed, my parents were confronted with having to fight the battle of legal malpractice. My father was an extemely intelligent man who was a giant in his field of expertise, but he felt helpless in dealing with this most difficult life circumstance. I knew from watching him deal with these events that I did not want to experience such roadblocks in my life and, in fact, I wanted to help people manuever through the minefields that confront them in life. My entire career in the practice of law has been to help people during the most difficult moments in their lives. I will continue to fight these fights.
