Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Two separate clients of mine were charged with rape in the past year; neither of them did it. One was able to get off with DNA evidence, the other wound up in his situation due to a slanderous ex-girlfriend. Neither case made it to trial. You have to investigate to develop defenses to get your client's case dismissed. As they say in Football, "the best defense is a good offense," so you have to go on the attack and be aggressive.
How did you build a successful practice?
By treating people with the respect and responsiveness that I would want if I was in their shoes. As a lawyer, you are expected to be accessible; it doesn't take long to answer an email or phone call. I pride myself on Customer Service.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
Generally, I like to talk to people on the phone as much as possible. People are anxious. No one says, "no, I would rather come in to talk two days from now." I try to tell them what available defenses they have and the strengths and weaknesses of their case. I also provide them with a cost.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
As much as the potential client can possibly tell me!
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
The amount of time I'm willing to spend with people. I don't bring people into my office just to weed out the ones that have cases that won't work. I spend time with people and talk about their problem. Also, I used to be a Prosecutor in New Orleans. It is a rarity to find a lawyer who is a former Prosecutor.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Helping people. You can't judge people by something that may be going on at a particular point in their life. I like to expand my role as an attorney and give people helpful advice.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Suba Diving and Spear Fishing. I go out to the Oil Rigs off the Gulf of Mexico, dive 100 feet down and shoot fish. I also like to travel.
