Born and raised in Kenner, Louisiana, my roots run deep in this vibrant community, and I've never strayed too far away from home.
My journey to the legal profession began in sixth grade, sparked by a classroom assignment to envision and prepare for a career by making a resume for a future job application. This early legal dream solidified into a concrete goal following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, as I felt a strong calling to contribute to the rebuilding and preservation of Louisiana's unique culture and spirit.
I earned a degree in Business Management and Legal Studies from Tulane University, followed by a law degree from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University. During my time at law school, I immersed myself in trial advocacy and moot court, honing my skills for the courtroom.
My legal career began with defending healthcare providers across Louisiana, where I had the opportunity to sharpen my trial skills and argue in numerous courts. My passion for justice and advocacy led me to join one of New Orleans' largest personal injury law firms. In this role, I successfully secured tens of millions of dollars in settlements for our clients. My efforts were recognized by my peers, earning me a spot among the Super Lawyers – Louisiana Rising Stars, an honor awarded to fewer than 2.5% of attorneys in the state.
Joining Loyd Bourgeois and the dedicated team here, I am committed to vigorously fighting for our clients' rights and addressing all of their concerns with empathy and professionalism.
When not in the courtroom, my wife, Mallory, a dedicated nurse for sick infants, our son J.J., and our two dogs, Huey and Molly, bring immense joy into my life. I cherish spending time with my family, enjoying sports, exploring festivals, traveling, and making the most of every moment with loved ones.
