In furtherance of achieving her lifelong dream of becoming an attorney, Brigid enrolled in Loyola University where she graduated with a degree in Criminology.

It was there that Brigid was bitten by the prosecutorial bug.

After earning her Juris Doctorate, Brigid went to work for the Orleans Parish District Attorney. She made her mark in the courtrooms at Tulane and Broad and was regarded as one of the most successful prosecutors. She consistently achieved top conviction ratings and tried more jury trials than many of her peers. Brigid was recognized for her hard work by the Victims and Citizens Against Crime Organization, receiving the organization’s top prosecutor award in the city of New Orleans.

In 2011, Brigid left he Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office and entered the private practice where, once again she has earned a reputation as an exceptional advocate for her clients and an outstanding trial lawyer.

In February of 2016, Brigid was appointed by the judges of Criminal District Court to sit as a Magistrate Commissioner. Every week, she is responsible for signing warrants, determining if there is probable cause for an arrest, and setting bonds for those arrested subjects.

When not practicing law, or sitting as a Magistrate Commissioner, Brigid volunteers her time with the Loyola University Law Alumni Board, Providence Community Housing, and coaching youth soccer.
