Joaquin Shepherd

My practice focuses on family law, personal injury, wills & successions, and miscellaneous civil law issues.  I am originally from New Orleans East and am a proud graduate of Lake Castle Elementary, Benjamin Franklin High School.

I have  Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology and Civil Law, and a Juris Doctorate, all from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. I moved back to New Orleans in the summer of 2005 (bad timing).  I first started practicing as an associate attorney for Roy Bowes in Gretna, Louisiana.  After four years in which I gained valuable experience and knowledge of the surrounding court systems, I started the Shepherd Law Firm at the very end of 2009. My first office was on Canal St., in Mid-City.

I later moved to Metairie.  Meanwhile, as my family grew we moved our home to Mandeville, Louisiana.  I have since moved my home office to Mandeville also. I also have arrangements to meet clients in offices in Metairie, Mid-City, and Gretna.

I am quite familiar with all state courts in St. Tammany, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Charles, Lafourche, and St. John.  I have practiced throughout Southeast Louisiana.
