About Us

Rooted in Alexandria, Dedicated to You

I grew up in Alexandria and went to school at St. James Episcopal, Huddle Elementary, Alexandria Country Day and Menard. After graduating from high school, I went to Tulane University where I received a B.A. in Political Science. During my junior year, I was able to attend the London School of Economics in London, England. After college, I went to LSU and Tulane Law Schools, graduating in 1985. I began practicing law in New Orleans and moved back to Alexandria in 1990. I’ve been here ever since! In the past 30 years of practicing law, I have seen it all.

Along the way, I got married and have three children. My wife is also a lawyer, so I got two for one. If I can help you, please call. I’m local!
