During this time, he took and passed both the California and Louisiana bar exams, both of which are well known for their immense difficulty and lowest passage rates in the country.
Upon completing his clerkship, he accepted a position at one of the top boutique class action defense firms in the South where he would manage an antitrust lawsuit involving 19 international banks, along with litigation related to Hurricane Katrina.
