What We Handle

Three Practice Areas.
One Standard: Win.

Jimmy Ardoin operates at a rare intersection of plaintiff's litigation and criminal defense — giving clients a dual-threat perspective most attorneys will never possess.

🚛

Trucking & Personal Injury

When an 18-wheeler or oilfield accident changes a family forever, you need an attorney who understands federal trucking regulations, carrier liability, and how to hold powerful companies accountable. Jimmy fights for catastrophic injury victims — and doesn't settle for less than what they deserve.

⚖️

Business Disputes & Fraud

Business partner stealing from you? Breach of fiduciary duty? Oil and gas dispute? Jimmy has been on both sides of these fights — civil and criminal. That crossover experience gives him a rare edge: he understands how the other side thinks, and he uses it.

🏛️

White-Collar & Federal Criminal Defense

Federal charges demand federal experience. From target letters to grand jury proceedings to trial, Jimmy has defended clients in healthcare fraud, securities fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and international sanctions violations — securing dismissals, reversals, and acquittals along the way.
