About Beau

Biography

Call Beau at our law firm of Brock & Palmintier Law. 33 years of experience including as both a prosecutor and defense attorney.

My major fields of practice are criminal defense, DWI, sex crimes, domestic violence, family law, protective orders, environmental criminal defense, environmental civil compliance, and car accidents.

I'm here to defend you from the moment the police begin their investigation all the way through trial, when necessary. If you need a lifeline in a moment of crisis, I am there for you and your family. As a former prosecutor, I know how the Government will attack you, and I know how to fight back!

Beau has practiced law for 33 years in Louisiana.

Previously, he worked at the private law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe & Belanger from 2011 - 2019. Before entering private practice, he was employed at LDEQ as a member of the Secretary’s Executive Staff from 2008-2011. From March 1999 – February 2008, he worked as Regional Criminal Enforcement Council for the Environmental Protection Agency and provided in-house legal oversight to all Federal criminal investigations conducted in Louisiana by the EPA Criminal Investigation Division. Prior to joining EPA, he served as an Assistant District Attorney for East Baton Rouge Parish from October 1991 – March 1999, and was lead counsel on over 50 successful jury trials.

In 1988, he graduated from Louisiana State University and from the L.S.U. Law Center in 1991. He is a member of the Louisiana Bar Association, Baton Rouge Bar Association and is an Associate member of the Baton Rouge Association of Women Attorneys. Beau is a frequent lecturer on professionalism, criminal law and environmental law and policy issues. Beau believes strongly in committing to our community and has served as a volunteer at his church, several schools, the YMCA as a basketball, volleyball, soccer and tennis coach, and as a charity fund-raiser.

BEST IN THE BAYOU!!! and anywhere else!

Contacted Mr Brock with felony legal issue pertaining to my mother. He answered phone immediately and was empathetic with the situation and very informative of the best course of legal action if he was to represent her. I'd contacted him after seeing his impeccable resume and wanted to hire the best.... THE BEST HE IS!!!! Stop searching call now and beg him to take your case and pay whatever he asks it'll be worth it in the end. He was able to get a better outcome then I could ever imagine. Intelligent/Professional/Prompt/Debonair... You need AGENT 225 ... Brock ..BEAU BROCK.

The best lawyer “Beau Brock” at Brock & Palmintier Law LLC .

My story. I have a son who is a young adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder. My worst nightmare occurred on a Thursday evening. You see he does not drive, although he is high functioning. He does not know phone numbers either. He relies on his phone to contact me. He attends college. I drop him off bef...ore class and pick him up after I get off of work in the evening. One Thursday evening when I went to pick up my son from college, he was not at the pickup place. I tried calling his cellphone. It went straight to voice mail. So I waited and waited. After 3 hrs I finally called the campus police. They informed me he had been arrested for the charge of Obscenity and was in the local prison. I had no way to get in touch with him nor he me. They took his phone without allowing him to make a phone call. I called the jail. My worst night mare. I was told he would have to call me. They also told me he would be out on bail on Friday. That never happened. He could not get a message to me nor would they let me get a message to him. Friday came. I kept calling to see what the bail would be. To my utter shock before he could post bail, the judge required a mental health exam by a forensic psychologist appointed by the court. The court system don’t work quickly. It was a Friday evening and he had to wait for the judge to appoint a Psychologist which was closed. then the psychologist would have to see I him in the jail after she received the court order. It could be weeks or months. And no telling when the metal heath evaluation would take place. I called the best lawyer in the Baton Rouge area “Beau Brock” at Brock & Palmintier Law LLC . He was able to get my son out of the jail Saturday on bail with the stipulation of mental health evaluation by the court appointed forensic psychologist be done within in a 30 days. I kept calling the psychologist for an appointment. The court after 4 weeks had still not sent the psychologist the court order. Fast forward. With Beau’s early intervention and expert lawyer skills was able to get the District Attorney’s office to not prosecute the charge. The charge was eventually expunged. Beau Brock and Lori Palmintier both met with my son and I. I had no idea what to expect. We met within a few days after getting of jail. They were compassionate and professional, and explained the process and what information they needed from him. They assured us that they have dealt with situation many times. We officially hired Brock & Palmintier Law LLC. Beau took swift action with swift results. Within 3 months the result was no formal charges will be filed against my son. They went on to get to charge expunged. I highly recommend Beau Brock. He is down to earth made. He made us feel like family. He answered all of our questions ad concerns. He spent time to get to know us. I would not hesitate to hire Beau Brock.

Outstanding Representation

Beau, along with the firm's team of Lori Palmintier and Emily Lindig, did a fantastic job of representing me and the best interests of my three children. Beau and Team are the second firm I have used to represent me and I will definitely stay with them for future needs. Very knowledgeable of the law,... but also worked with me to create several solutions to the issues that faced me and my children. Worked very quickly to get the matter under control and then swiftly and effectively to get the resolution needed for my family. Willing to settle matters in mediation if needed and not cautious about putting matters before the judge. Presented an accurate representation of what I was up against and therefore I felt prepared in court. Very happy with the outcome and will continue to have him and the firm represent my interests.

You want the Mongooz in the courtroom fighting for you

I was introduced to Beau through a friend of mine that had used him to represent him in a ase in Baton Rouge. When my need came for an attorney to represent me, my friend told me to go talk to Beau. Little did i know that i was about to hire the man with the plan, the one that had all the answers and... was well connected in multiple judicial systems around this area. Of course, little did i know that i was going to need his keen sense of expertice in the court room and frankly, i dont think he knew how much i was going to need him to save me from the rash of unfourtunate events that i was going to be the victim of in the next few years. Beau is a joy to watch work in the court room. I dont think that there isnt anyone that the man doesnt know in the judicial system. In the three years that i have had the pleasure of working with Beau, i have never seen one person that wasnt smiling and treating him with the upmost respect in the court room. Beau knows all the right people to talk to and make positive things happen and get u positive results. We have had numerous conversations about my cases and never once did he leave me with a negative outlook. Beau kept me headed in the right direction even though he thought there for a minute that he was jinksing me by talking to me. Simply because there for a short time it was one thing after another with me. Just a case of the wrong place at the wrong time, but he never let me down. As difficult as i must have seemed to represent, he never swayed and was always the Mongooz in the court room and he took care of business, every single time. I never doubted him for a second. Even when i was begining to doubt myself. I can not say enough about the man. I liked his way of taking care of business so much, that i hired him to represent my son and he came through with flying colors on his case too. Im telling you, if you want the best attorney in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas, Beau The Mongooz Brock, is hands down your first and only stop u need to handle whatever life throws at you. He is a super nice guy and he has my upmost respect as an attorney hands down the best in the business. I consider him to be the best attorney in the business hands down without a doubt and i consider him to be a good friend as well as the best attorney for anything u need. All u need is the Mongooz in the courtroom and your worries will all disappear. If you want the job done and done right the first time, Beau Brock, is the man for the job. Absolutely the best Attorney in the State. I cant say enough good things about him. Ill just say this, you want the best look no further than Beau Brock, period.
