My practice has varied over the last 40 years. My major areas of concentration involve litigation, family law, wills and estates, oil & gas, environmental, business legal analysis and contracts and most recently expropriations by governmental entities and public works contracts. I have been licensed in Louisiana, Mississippi and District of Columbia. I continue to represent clients in Louisiana and Mississippi today. I have many years of experience in the state and federal courts in Louisiana and Mississippi.
