introduction
FOCUSED.
Mr. Toale knew from a young age that he wanted to be a criminal defense lawyer. In fact, he has never worked for a prosecutor’s office or a law firm. After graduating law school, Mr. Toale started his own practice and began accepting appointments to criminal cases in Jefferson Parish. Initially, he worked in Jefferson Parish Juvenile Court where he tried 10 cases each day. Then Mr. Toale was one of the first to be offered a contract position as a public defender after the overhaul of the public defender system in Jefferson Parish where he tried up to two jury trials a week. Although he is no longer a public defender, Mr. Toale’s practice is almost exclusively focused on criminal law.
EXPERIENCED.
Mr. Toale has over 30 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney. In that time, he has tried over 100 jury trials and represented over 5,000 clients. Mr. Toale has handled a number of high-profile cases: Vernon Williams, Patricia Van Winkle, Thomas Abadie, Joel Durhan, Walter Porter, Jerry Dantin, and Sonny Allen. Through these experiences, he became proficient at handling the media, sometimes appearing on local television and radio three or four times a week. Mr. Toale has also been interviewed and quoted by CBS News, the ABA Journal, the Times-Picayune, Newsweek, and the National Law Journal.
DRIVEN.
He has also received national recognition for his work in criminal defense. In 2014, Mr. Toale was elected to the 2014-2017 National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ board of directors. He said of his appointment, “I am honored and thrilled to be able to serve as a board member of the NACDL and look forward to being on the cutting edge of working to improve our system of justice.”
In addition to serving on the board of directors, Mr. Toale was previously the president of the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. As president, he pushed to end the death penalty and increase funding for public defenders. Mr. Toale always fights for his clients’ rights both in and out of the courtroom.
