Baton Rouge Criminal Defense Attorneys Serving Clients Throughout Louisiana

The Longman Jakuback Difference

We are defenders. Not generalists. Not a large firm that handles your case when they get around to it. We are a focused, boutique litigation firm devoted to one thing: delivering results for our clients in the courtroom — and it shows.

Our attorneys understand the enormous power of the government and how overwhelming it can feel to face that power alone.

From the moment you become our client, you are never alone. We bring the full weight of our experience, our investigators, and our legal resources to bear on your behalf.

Protecting our clients — and their families — is our mission, both inside and outside the courtroom. That commitment is the Longman Jakuback difference.

How Our Team Works

Working alongside a handpicked team of investigators, legal researchers, and specialists, we pursue creative and successful resolutions — even in the most complex and high-stakes cases. Our record of results is built on our ability to take complicated factual scenarios and make them clear and compelling to any judge, jury, or prosecutor.

When your case goes to trial, we are ready. We have the skill, the confidence, and the determination to stand up and fight for the accused — no matter the odds.

Five Super Lawyers. One Boutique Firm.

Longman Jakuback is proud to have five attorneys selected for inclusion in Louisiana Super Lawyers — Jacob Longman, Kathryn Jakuback Burke, Richard Sprinkle, Jennifer Cameron, and Of Counsel James E. Boren. This distinction is awarded to only a select percentage of Louisiana attorneys each year and reflects the exceptional level of representation our clients receive.

James Boren brings decades of nationally recognized criminal defense experience to our team. A former LSU Law School professor who taught Advanced Litigation, Capital Punishment, and Wrongful Convictions for nearly 20 years, Boren has represented clients in high-profile state and federal cases across the country. He is a past leader of both the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (LACDL), and is widely regarded as one of the most skilled trial lawyers in Louisiana.
