About

    I graduated from Tulane University in 2005 Summa Cum Laude, with depatmental honors in English Literature. I was also admitted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. I graduated from Tulane Law School in 2008, Summa Cum Laude with honors in Trial Advocacy. I was also a member and then a Notes and Comments Editor for Tulane Law Review, a respected legal journal.     While in law school, I obtained valuable experience with both the Missouri Public Defender System and the Tulane Criminal Law Clinic as a student-attorney authorized to practice law on a limited basis pursuant to Missouri Supreme Court Rule 13 and Louisiana Supreme Court Rule 20.      After graduation, I decided to return home to fulfill my dream of working with my Father. I've been able to learn from his years of experience while gaining extensive court room experience primarily handling criminal defense cases. Although I still handle some of the firm's criminal cases, currently I am primarily handling our firm's personal injury and other civil cases.      Since becoming an attorney, I have continued to learn all I can about the law and effective advocacy in the court room. These efforts have included reading the most influencial books on trial advocacy and communication, attending many trials of the top trial attorneys in the area to observe and learn, and extensive continuing legal education courses, including the intensive "Trial College" by AAJ, which focuses on all aspects of trial advocacy in an intensive, four day seminar with some of the best trial lawyers in the country as instructors.
