About Jason
Biography
Greetings. Originally from Delhi, Louisiana, Baton Rouge has served as my home since 1997. I attended LSU in 1997 and received my Bachelors in Political Science. Thereafter, I attended Southern University Law Center and received my Juris Doctorate. I have served as a law clerk (staff attorney) in the civil district court and juvenile court in Baton Rouge, where I gained invaluable knowledge about various areas of law.
My practice includes adoptions, personal injury (including but not limited to automobile accidents and slip and fall cases) and successions ( estate planning). I have completed over 200 adoptions (private, agency, intra-family and recognition of foreign decree). I have also secured multiple 5 and 6 figure settlements for my personal injury clients.
My goal with my practice is to help people, whether by forming a happy family (adoption), helping my clients navigate the legal system during a difficult time (succession) or securing adequate compensation for a wrong that they have suffered. In my practice, I pride myself on 3 things: knowledge, results and phenomenal customer service. I am always in constant communication with my clients, keeping them up to speed with the status of their case. I am a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association.
I enjoy watching sports, traveling, fishing and eating. Looking forward to helping you.

Excellent Attorney
We contacted Jason for a succession and it was the best decision to hire him. He was patient, thorough and knowledgeable. Jason was very easy to work with. He communicated with my family through the entire process and he answered every question. I’d recommend Jason to anyone.

Adoptive Parent
Adoption can be a joyful yet very emotionally stressful time. Jason was able to lead us through this process with clarity and ease. Not only would I recommend Jason to you, but we have personally used him to adopt four of our children. Nothing says "satisfied" like a repeat customer. Thank you Jaso...

Excellent Adoption Attorney
Jason was wonderful! He fought hard to help finalize my daughter's adoption right before Christmas. When it didn't seem possible, Jason stood and believed with me that it would happen. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was done and in place to finalize it. It was a true Christmas mirac...

Professional
Jason is the best Personal Injury Attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price...
