Personal Introduction
I have over 20 years of experience in the courtroom as a criminal defense lawyer and have handled hundreds of personal injury cases. My practice evolved when I transitioned to working for a legal tech company in the construction technology space.

Practice Summary
I've practiced in New Orleans for more than 20 years and founded Bloom Legal in 2004. My background includes extensive courtroom work in criminal defense and hundreds of personal injury, insurance, and civil litigation matters. For out-of-state attorneys, I serve as Louisiana local counsel across state and federal matters, including the current wave of immigration cases involving ICE detention and transfers to Louisiana facilities. I respond quickly and am glad to support lead counsel on appearances, filings, and on-the-ground needs. I also spent several years in legal tech with Levelset (acquired by Procore), where I built and managed a nationwide network of construction attorneys. Many Overture members know me from the Legacy Levelset and Contractor Counsel Network. Today I lead Bloom Legal Network. BloomLegal.com generates steady inquiries across Greater New Orleans, and I regularly refer out matters beyond my core practice, so I'm always glad to connect with attorneys nationwide.
