About

 William Robert (“Robby”) Gill, a 1990 graduate of the Southern University Law Center and a member of the Louisiana Bar Association, is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Louisiana Supreme Court, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Eastern and Middle District Circuit Courts of Louisiana and the United States Army Court of Military Review.  Gill has also been granted pro hac vice status to handle cases in Mississippi, Texas and California.               Gill served on active duty as a lawyer in the United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG), achieving the rank of Captain.  He was a prosecutor at Fort Ord, California and a trial defense counsel at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.  He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal and two Army Achievement Medals. His court martial trials included cases of attempted murder, drugs, rape, sexual assault, child molestation, conduct unbecoming, and assorted felonies.                  As a military defense counsel, Gill eagerly took on many supposedly unwinnable cases.  Two of his most notable cases were United States v. Pettway and United States v. George, both very difficult rape cases.                After his honorable discharge, Gill practiced with Reagan, Manasseh & Boshea, one of the largest criminal defense firms in Louisiana with offices in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Oakland, California.  He was selected to attend Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  He then opened his own firm in Baton Rouge with James P. Manasseh, where he continues to practice criminal defense and personal injury law.              Gill enjoys putting his energy, experience, and skills to work in both civilian and military settings.  Among his more memorable trial cases are California v. Gipson (murder), State v. Kolb (sexual abuse), State v. McNeal (attempted murder), State v. Mire (felon in possession of illegal firearm), State v. Tyler (murder), and, most recently, State v. Hooks (murder).

In today’s world it seems that a lifetime of good deeds can be totally compromised by one bad action. We all know that a simple “mistake” can put a persons future In jeopardy (being denied good jobs, stigmatized by those around you, being forced to live with regrets etc). So when I received a call that my youngest sister would soon appear in a criminal court (facing a misdemeanor conviction) I decided it was time to hire the best attorney that I could find. She and I both knew a criminal conviction could potentially ruin the chances of her becoming a doctor (and all the many years of hard work that she spent putting herself through college would be in vain). After a short conversation and discussing the facts it was obvious that Mr. Gill was the attorney that she needed. He started by giving us a genuine peace of mind and we fully believed that he was going to do everything in his power to resolve this issue. And resolving the issue is exactly what he did! Mr. Gill accomplished everything that he said he would do. He fought for us, and when the fight was over my sister got her future back... We truly appreciate your hard work, and know that it will not be forgotten. Thank you Sir,

After our son was arrested, not knowing what to do. We asked close friends and received a few names for attorneys in our area. Robby Gill was recommended to us multiple times. After speaking with him we could see why he was so highly thought of. He answered our questions, told us what to expect and helped us through our toughest years. Today we are so thankful for the Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, Belanger Corporation and their Livingston office staff for all the hard work and dedication put into his case. William Robert Gill you're it for an Experienced, Professional, Dedicated Attorney.

Mr. Gill was recommended to my wife and I. we needed representation for our son and we wanted the best. It wasn’t a sales pitch or desperation that sold us on Mr. Gill, it was his credentials, his success as a law professional and the team behind him. On top of all the success is his communication of the law, not what I wanted to here, but the law. It didn’t take long, to know we made the right choice to hire Mr. Gill and Mr. Manasseh to represent our son. His whole future was in front of him, we needed nothing but the best and that was the law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, & Bélanger. Thank you, gentlemen, for being great law professionals and great men.

I was extremely pleased with the outcome of our case. As a result of an incident that happened at our grandson’s high school, assault charges were filed against him. It was a nightmare for him and our family. The charges were dropped and the case was dismissed-as it should have been. The mitigating circumstances surrounding our grandson’s case was researched and articulated in a manner by Mr. Gill that we never had to appear before the judge. The best call our family received was the one from Mr. Gill saying it was over! I highly recommend him to anyone.

My son was facing a criminal charge. Mr. Gill gathered extensive information and reviewed all the facts pertaining to my son’s case. His legal experience and knowledge were invaluable in securing a favorable outcome for my son. I would recommend Mr. Gill to anyone in need of legal representation.

Words truly cannot describe the impeccable service I received when I hired Robert Gill. I had a warrant for my arrest due to false allegations against me. But instead of taking the easy way out and allowing me to be arrested, Robby and his team worked tirelessly to assemble the evidence proving my innocence, schedule a meeting with the detective, and have the warrant recalled. Robby cared enough to save me the embarrassment of being arrested for a crime I did not commit. He and his team spent hours with me and treated me as a friend during this trying ordeal. I am forever grateful to Robby for all he did to help me.

Robby and his team saved my life after I was accused of a crime I did not commit. His team worked HARD to win my jury trial. His entire team: secretaries, private investigators, jury selection lawyers, and motion writers busted their collective butts for me and my family. His team is able to react well to media presence and high profile cases. This guy is good ju ju.

Mr. Gill came highly recommend to me as the best criminal defense attorney in Louisiana. Although my case is still pending, I could not be more satisfied with the quality of work thus far. He is attentive and forthright in everything he does and has existing relationships within the legal community in our area. I would highly recommend you giving him a call to discuss your difficult situation. He will give you an honest assessment and fight for resolution.
