Life Outside the Courtroom
David enjoys spending time with his family, being outdoors, and taking in all that Louisiana has to offer. “I’m really proud of the family that I have. I have 5 children, a wife, and my father who was a former law partner. We’re really a large family." he says. "There’s no place like Louisiana. To be with the people that we grew up with and to serve the people we grew up with, in the community we grew up in is something special.”
