What Makes Sheppard Law Different?

Amber Isn’t A Robot.

No one wants a punch-line or a robot for an attorney. You can be a good lawyer while still maintaining your humanity, humility, and humor. Or at least Sheppard Law thinks so.

Tubbs The Dog.


You’ll always see a friendly face when interacting with Sheppard Law. Is it our staff? I mean, I guess so. But let’s be honest: Tubbs is the real star of this business law, adoption, and personal injury operation.

Flexibility To Represent.

Living or working in Southeast Louisiana means you may find yourself on the Gulf coast of Mississippi or vice versa more often than you'd think. Amber is licensed in both states and can help you.
