Since beginning my career as an attorney, I have devoted my legal practice to representing individuals facing criminal charges. I began my legal studies at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where I majored in Sociology of Law, Criminology and Deviance, with a minor in Communications. I graduated near the top of my class. My studies at the U of M provided me a deeper understanding of human behavior as it relates to the criminal justice system. After the U of M, I returned to New Orleans, Louisiana and attended the Loyola University School of Law.
During law school, I interned with the Honorable Steven Z. Lange, now retired, in Hennepin County, Minnesota. My time spent with Judge Lange provided valuable insight into the various aspects of the criminal justice system in Minnesota. Also while in law school, as a student-attorney in the prestigious Loyola Law School Clinic, I had the opportunity to represent people charged with serious felony matters ranging from repeat drug offenses, aggravated rape, armed robbery, and 2nd murder. I enjoyed great success as a student-attorney receiving outright acquittals in multiple murder cases to dismissal of charges in various armed robbery cases. I graduated near the top of my class and with the experience and know-how to handle serious felony matters that few other attorney’s see at such a young age and stage in their career.
Eventually I returned to Minnesota and soon began working for a local criminal defense firm. After nearly 3 years with the firm handling matters ranging from minor traffic tickets to 1st degree murder charges, I started my own law firm. I made the decision to start my own firm so I could provide the people of Minnesota accused of a crime the option of an outstanding legal defense at reasonable and flexible rates.
