Principal Attorney James Manasseh

A lifelong resident of Louisiana, James Manasseh, our principal attorney, understands that behind-the-scenes diplomacy often yields better results when interacting with people than do high-profile adversarial actions. Attorney Manasseh is an effective communicator who is dedicated to standing up for what is right.

James Manasseh earned early distinction for his innovative legal mind and tenacity. Just three years out of law school, he submitted a motion for appeal to the Supreme Court in a case of a mentally ill man convicted of murder. His win in that case set legal precedent throughout the United States.

Attorney Robert Gill, Partner

Criminal defense attorney and former Judge Advocate General Robert Gill joined the firm in 1995 after serving his country as a Captain in the U.S. Army. As a former prosecutor and accomplished defense counsel, Gill possesses substantial trial experience that continues to prove invaluable to clients facing civilian and military criminal charges.

Growing up in Denham Springs, Robert Gill learned the value of hard work, loyalty and high ethical standards. He brings strength, skill and diverse experience to the representation of our clients.
