Peter T. Dudley

Peter Dudley takes care of people and their problems.

Peter handles personal injury, criminal defense, juvenile delinquency, probate, workers compensation and general litigation cases. He handles the cases from start to finish, including appellate work when necessary.

My job as an attorney is to solve my clients’ problems. My goal as an attorney is to solve my clients’ problems better than anyone else would. My success as an attorney is when my clients return to me for future issues or recommend other potential clients to me. My strategy for achieving these things is to listen to my clients, care about my clients, be honest with my clients and be fair to my clients. I still believe that the practice of law can be an honorable profession as opposed to a business designed to maximize profits.

Peter Dudley is admitted to practice before all Louisiana State Courts, United States District Courts for the Eastern, Middle and Western districts of Louisiana, and the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. He is a member of Louisiana State Bar Association, Baton Rouge Bar Association and Baton Rouge Bar of Criminal Justice. Peter received his J.D. from LSU Law School, 1990, and B.S. from LSU, 1986.

"The professionals at Pierce & Shows are very efficient and caring about their clients. They exceeded all of my expectations for the services I thought I would receive. I highly recommend this firm."
