Years as a court professional

Inside the courthouse

Helping manage dockets, prepare opinions, and support the daily work of justice has given him a clear understanding of preparation, efficiency, fairness, and professionalism in the courtroom.

In private practice

His private law practice has taken him into courts throughout South Louisiana, representing clients across a wide range of matters and working to resolve disputes responsibly and effectively.

I am committed to modernizing First Parish Court so it works more efficiently and effectively for attorneys and litigants alike, using the technology and tools currently available while preserving the personal attention, respect, and fairness every person before the court deserves. I am ready to bring my experience and work ethic to the bench on day one.
