Shannon Williams Hultberg

I graduated from Tulane Law School in May of 2000. I took a break from the practice of law while my two daughters were younger and then went back to the practice of law full-time. I have loved working for Judge Chip Moore at the 19th Judicial District Court for the past four years. I also love giving of my time and commitment to my community and trying to make a difference in Baton Rouge. I believe that is what drew me to the practice of law, the desire to help others and make a positive impact in people's lives.
