Stephen started his private practice almost immediately after graduating and passing the bar exam.  He has been the Director of Code Enforcement and Inspections as well as the Chief Prosecutor for the City of Kenner. His approach to legal representation is one of problem solving and simplifying complex issues and troubling times in the lives of his clients.  He recently became certified in Family Law Mediation and hopes to help families navigate the process both economically and emotionally.  “The process is tough enough by definition.  An attorney doesn’t have to make it any tougher than it already is.  A good mediator can bring people together to reconcile their own differences within the bounds of the law without the need for expensive and emotionally brutal fights in a court room.”
