Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
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.

William Gill

Firm: Manasseh, Gill, Knipe & Belanger, PLC
8075 Jefferson Hwy , Baton Rouge , Louisiana 70809
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
William Robert (“Robby”) Gill, a 1990 graduate of the Southern University Law Center and a member of the Louisiana Bar Association, is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Louisiana Supreme Court, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Eastern and Middle District Circuit Courts of Louisiana and the United States Army Court of Military Review.  Gill has also been granted pro hac vice status to handle cases in Mississippi, Texas and California.. Gill served on active duty as a lawyer in the United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG), achieving the rank of Captain.  He was a prosecutor at Fort Ord, California and a trial defense counsel at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.  He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and two Army Achievement Medals. His court martial trials included cases of attempted murder, drugs, rape, sexual assault, child molestation, conduct unbecoming, and assorted felonies.. As a military defense counsel, Gill eagerly took on many supposedly unwinnable cases.  Two of his most notable cases were United States v. Pettway and United States v. George, both very difficult rape cases.. After his honorable discharge, Gill practiced with Reagan, Manasseh & Boshea, one of the largest criminal defense firms in Louisiana with offices in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Oakland, California.  He was selected to attend Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  He then opened his own firm in Baton Rouge with James P. Manasseh, where he continues to practice criminal defense and personal injury law.. Gill enjoys putting his energy, experience, and skills to work in both civilian and military settings.  Among his more memorable trial cases are California v. Gipson (murder), State v. Kolb (sexual abuse), State v. McNeal (attempted murder), State v. Mire (felon in possession of illegal firearm), State v. Tyler (murder), and, most recently, State v. Hooks (murder).
