Meet Your Next Division L Judge

I’m not new to this community. I’ve been serving East Baton Rouge Parish for more than 20 years—not just when it’s convenient, but when it counts.

I directed the Domestic Violence Court. I managed an entire city court system handling 50,000 cases a year. I built rental assistance programs that kept seniors in their homes. I created wills and power of attorney clinics for families who couldn’t afford an attorney.

I served my country as an Army JAG Officer, deployed on active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I know what accountability looks like. I know what serving people means.

The people of East Baton Rouge Parish deserve a judge who’s already proven they can deliver—on victim protection, on court efficiency, on building systems that actually serve real people.

I’m that judge. The Proven Choice for Division L.
