Experienced Political Corruption Defense Attorney

Attorney Ian F. Hipwell is a highly experienced attorney who spent more than 31 years as an Assistant United States Attorney for the United States Department of Justice in the Middle District of Louisiana. During his time as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, he handled numerous high-profile political corruption and white collar prosecutions involving well-known politicians and public figures.

Today, he applies his experience as a prosecutor to defending elected and appointed officials who have been accused of any number of actions that constitute political corruption. This area of focus is noteworthy because the U.S. government appears to be devoting more resources in the Baton Rouge area in combating what it believes to be public corruption.

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.
