Background  

    I was an artillery officer in Vietnam and was awarded the Bronze Star and two medals for Valor.

   I studied history, language and politics at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and when I returned from Vietnam I continued my studies at Tulane University in New Orleans and in Europe.  My first job after the Army was as a university lecturer in England.

   I returned to the U.S.  and became a tenured associate professor of history at Loyola University in New Orleans.  I took classes at the law school and earned the Juris Doctor degree in 1987. 

   I was honored to be chosen to clerk for Justice (formerly Chief Justice) Pascal Calogero of the Louisiana Supreme Court.  Thereafter, I was employed by several law firms at the associate level.  In 1991, I started my own practice and have developed a specialty in employment law.  I am admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court and all state and federal courts in Louisiana.  I have lectured on employment law to other members of the bar as part of Loyola University's Continuing Legal education program and have spoken at Bar Association functions in Covington and Slidell.

   I married Robin Holtz Williams, who is a classical pianist and chairs the Department of Music at the University of New Orleans. Robin has thus far released two cds:  Piano in the House in 2004 and Bridges, Brahms and Blue in 2005.  We have two beautiful children in school, a boy and a girl.
