Welcome to the website for the Twenty First Judicial District Attorney’s office.

The Twenty First Judicial District for the state of Louisiana consists of the parishes of Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa. The district is one of the largest in the state with a current population of over 250,000 and is the home of one of the fastest growing parishes/counties (Livingston) in the country. It is also the home to Southeastern Louisiana University, in recent years, one of the fastest growing universities in the nation.

I hope that you find this website both informative and helpful. It contains information about the various programs and services offered by our office as well as, in the near future, the opportunity to search our current court dockets for the names, court dates, and charges of those being prosecuted by our office.

As District Attorney, I pledge the best efforts of my office to ensure the citizens of this great district the high quality prosecution agency it deserves.
