James "Jim" G. Burke, III

Attorney at Law

I earned my law degree from Louisiana State University Law School in 1987 and then worked as an Assistant District Attorney. I eventually went to open my own law firm so that I could defend people who are facing a wide range of criminal charges.

My experience as a prosecutor gave me the insight to build strong strategies for people facing prosecution. I proudly serve the areas of New Orleans and Covington, Louisiana. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation.
