Criminal Defense

Our firm provides robust criminal defense representation for charges ranging from DWI/DUI to drug offenses and warrants. With decades of combined experience, we protect clients' rights through strategic courtroom advocacy and negotiated plea agreements. Our attorneys leverage deep knowledge of Louisiana and Texas legal systems to secure dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable sentencing outcomes.

Bankruptcy Law

We guide individuals and businesses through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings to achieve debt discharge or structured repayment plans. Our attorneys help clients navigate asset protection, creditor negotiations, and financial restructuring while ensuring compliance with federal bankruptcy regulations. We prioritize long-term financial recovery solutions tailored to each client's circumstances.

Family Law

Our family law practice handles divorce, child custody, and support matters with sensitivity to clients' emotional and financial needs. We advocate for equitable property division, parenting plans, and spousal support arrangements while exploring mediation options to minimize conflict. Our goal is achieving amicable resolutions that prioritize children's well-being and financial stability.

Personal Injury

We represent clients injured in car accidents, workplace incidents, or other negligence cases to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering compensation. Our team investigates claims, negotiates with insurance companies, and litigates when necessary to ensure fair settlements that cover both immediate and long-term damages from injuries sustained.

Employment Law

Our employment law services protect workers against discrimination, wage theft, and wrongful termination. We help clients understand their rights under state and federal labor laws, file discrimination complaints, and pursue compensation for unpaid wages or unlawful workplace practices through negotiation or litigation.
