“My goal is to find the best resolution to a client’s case, whether it’s reaching a favorable settlement early on in litigation or taking a case all the way to a jury verdict when the opposing party is being unreasonable. In the end, my job is to put clients at ease through every phase of a dispute and exploring all available options, regardless of the dollars at stake.”

Alex is a member of the firm’s Maritime, Oilfield, and Insurance practice area focusing on personal injury litigation. Prior to joining the firm, he served as a law clerk to The Honorable Chief Judge Dee D. Drell of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
