  I was a part time paid investigator for the public defenders office. My primary duties were to interview clients and witnesses either in the office or at the Baton Rouge Parish Prison and report back to the staff attorney assigned that client. Worked with a section of staff attorney in the 19th JDC in Baton Rouge. I observed court and client meetings, helped prepare trial notebooks, interview witnesses, and helped prepare for trials. I also completed legal research for our section of attorneys whenever requested.

Majority of my practice was focused on housing and unemployment work. I practiced mostly handling small claims court eviction trials and appeals to District Court, including filing answers, counterclaims, and drafting discovery request.
