LAWSUIT DEFENSE
If you are sued, you need to act within a short period of time or a default judgment may be taken against you. If you're sued because of an auto accident or other matter that you have insurance for, you need to turn the suit over to your insurance company right away. If you're sued for something you don't have insurance for (such as collections, or a business or consumer dispute), you should hire an attorney. We defend people sued by finance companies, credit card companies, employees, employers, customers, etc.

TEACHERS
We represent members of East Baton Rouge Federation of Teachers and A+PEL, as well as individual teachers who have issues with their School Board involving tenure, assault pay, civil rights, etc.
