J. Clay LeJeune
Attorney at Law
After earning my B.A. and J.D. from LSU, I spent one year working for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. There, I started to recognize that the system is tilted in favor of the prosecution. I noticed that those who were arrested were presented with limited options and a narrow path forward. It seemed impossible for honest, hardworking individuals to get the relief they needed after being accused of a DUI, drug crime, or violent crime. I decided that I wanted to make a difference. I started my firm more than two decades ago in order to help people in Lafayette, Crowley, and elsewhere in Louisiana get back on their feet so they can move forward. Nobody wants one mistake to define their future; nobody's trying to go to jail. That's why I fight as hard as I do to protect your rights and seek justice.

Criminal Justice: Advocating For Your Future & Your Freedom
When you or someone you love is accused of a crime, you most likely have many questions: How did this happen? Where do I go next? How can I face my future? These questions are completely natural, especially because a criminal conviction on your record can lead to devastating consequences.
