The Ambeau Law Firm, LLC

Contract Public Defender, 2009 - present

Serious felony criminal defense of indigent clients in division "A" of the 23rd Judicial District Court.

27D - Paralegal, 2001 - present

I joined the U.S. Military in October of 2001, both in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; and a desire to join ROTC at LSU. I transferred to the 22nd LSO Trial Defense Service, criminal defense arm of the JAG Corps, in December of 2003, to function as a 27D, paralegal, in an environment that would offer the opportunity to learn about the practice of law. In May of 2004, I volunteered to be deployed to Iraq. I was sent to Kuwait where I was the NCOIC of the Kuwait Trial Defense Service office. The attorney for whom I worked was assigned to one of the Abu Ghirab soldiers, and we functioned as her defense team for the duration of my deployment. In addition, we had 5 General Courts Martial, and about 400 Article 15 proceedings, non-judicial punishment in the UCMJ. I redeployed in Jan of 2005, and returned home shortly thereafter. Since my return, I have been a member of the 22nd LSO, Trial Defense Service, Team 15, in Baton Rouge, LA. I am currently in the process of commissioning as a 27A, JAG Officer, with the 22nd LSO, TDS. My goal is to be a part of the officer corps by the spring of 2010. I hope that I am able to experience the honor of serving my country as an attorney in the JAG Corps

Owner / Attorney, 2010 - present

Jarrett P. Ambeau focuses his practice on Felony Criminal Defense, Personal Injury and Federal Civil Rights Claims. I was sworn in to practice law in the State of Louisiana on May 14, 2009, in Kenner, LA. I spent the first year of my practice in the Gonzales, Louisiana office of Dugas, Leblanc & Mire, LLC, where the focus of my practice was felony criminal defense and civil litigation. The opportunity to have spent a year under the tutelage of Malcolm Dugas and Retired Judge Pegram Mire has been invaluable to my development. I expect our professional relationships to continue as I transition to a solo practice. As of July 1, 2010, I now have a solo law practice in Gonzales, LA. This is an exciting and promising undertaking, I look forawrd to taking care of clients in the more personal setting of a solo practice. I am also a contract attorney with the 23rd JDC Indigent Defense Board, as such, I spend half of my time working on felony criminal defense as a public defender in Div. “A” of Ascension Parish. Have you been injured? I will work hard to get you the compensation you deserve. Have you been accused of a serious crime? I will fight to protect your Constitutional rights and work to get you the best result possible.
