Lacey has an unmatched track record for tireless advocacy and successful results for her clients. Work ethic, confidence and attention to detail come naturally. The building blocks for these skills were grown while Lacey attended LSU in college where her ambition earned her a position as a collegiate pole vaulter and member of the 2012 LSU Track and Field SEC and National Championship Team. Her later experience as Miss Louisiana 2014 fine-tuned her tact, diplomacy skills, and ability to work in high exposure situations. Lacey thrives in diverse environments. Her success in college easily followed her into LSU Law School where she was the Champion for the Opening Statement Competition highlighting her advocacy skills. As a student, she was sworn-in as a Rule XX certified legal intern, where she defended her client before the Louisiana Supreme Court and obtained a favorable judgment.  Today, these past experiences translate into numerous successful results for her clients in state and federal courts across Louisiana.

Lacey’s background also provides her unique insight and understanding of Louisiana’s large and small businesses. She comes from a multi-generational family of construction tradesmen. She is the proud daughter of a local commercial master plumber who taught her the importance in perfecting her trade, pride in her work, and honor in her word. However, her time spent working at the Nike, Inc. world headquarters gives her a unique perspective to appreciate the necessity for large corporate infrastructures while maintaining a heart for local companies. Lacey works to protect all businesses with equal attention to detail, diligence and passion.
