Over 25 Years experience representing clients in financial legal matters, bankruptcy & Injury cases.
I am a native of Baton Rouge and understand the values held by fellow residents and business owners in southern Louisiana. I opened my firm in 1994 on the principle that people have the right to get a fresh start from the heavy burden of debt. Over the past two decades, I have successfully represented thousands of clients in personal bankruptcy cases as well as business related bankruptcy cases, personal injury cases, real estate closings and estate planning. I understand the stress of financial uncertainty, the anxiety of being in an auto accident and the apprehension of trying to plan for the future. Not only do I look forward to assisting you with your legal matter, I have a dedicated and experienced staff of attorneys and paralegals ready and eager to work with you.
Practice areas
We represent clients in all areas of bankruptcy including chapter 7 and chapter 13 cases, liquidation, personal and corporate re-organization. We help our clients restructure their debts, stop foreclosures, lawsuits, and garnishments. We help relieve financial stress and give our clients a fresh start.
29 years, 1,000 cases
Not all clients need to file for bankruptcy protection. We often find that many people just need assistance in settling certain debts with their creditors, rather than file bankruptcy. Often clients have defenses that they may not be aware of.
29 years
We represent clients who have been injured in car accidents, truck accidents, wrongful death, products liability, and other many other areas where our clients need assistance in fighting with insurance companies to get fair and just compensation for their injuries.
29 years
We help our clients plan for their future. We work closely with them to create a strategy for their specific requirements and provide experienced advice on the best approach for them and their loved ones. We can construct a comprehensive estate plan using the legal tools that best meet their needs such as a will, trust, living will, and healthcare power of attorney
29 years
