Pierce & Shows: Trusted Advocates for Personal Injury & Criminal Defense Clients
At Pierce & Shows, we take pride in being more than just a law firm—we are a trusted partner in the Baton Rouge community. For over 30 years, we have been providing dependable, results-driven legal services to individuals, families, and businesses throughout Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana. Whether you're facing a personal injury claim, criminal charges, or business legal issues, our team is here to offer the guidance and support you need.
Our firm’s origins are deeply tied to the Baton Rouge community. Jimmy's vision of creating a law firm that genuinely cares about clients and their well-being has remained at the heart of Pierce & Shows. In 1992, Jimmy Pierce and Chris Shows developed the partnership into a respected local legal resource. Over time, Chris took on litigation responsibilities, and the firm expanded with additional talented attorneys, including Peter Dudley and Brian Edwards. Their combined experience of over 60 years is what allows us to offer strategic, knowledgeable, and compassionate representation.
Over the years, we have helped more than a thousand families navigate the complexities of the legal system, and our commitment to providing personalized legal service has led to lasting relationships with families across generations. Our clients are never just a case to us—they are our neighbors, friends, and community members. We take the time to understand their unique circumstances and provide tailored solutions that meet their needs.
