About Stephen David Hebert

Stephen Hébert’s journey as a fighter began long before his legal career. From 1993 to 1999, he competed as an amateur boxer in the lightweight, light-welterweight, and welterweight divisions. He retired from boxing to pursue law, earning his Juris Doctorate from Loyola University-New Orleans and joining the Louisiana bar in 2002. Stephen’s legal career began as a law clerk for the Honorable Marc T. Amy at the Louisiana Third Circuit Court of Appeal, followed by his role as an Assistant District Attorney in Orleans Parish, where he gained extensive trial experience and helped reform asset and bond forfeiture policies. Stephen also developed significant civil litigation expertise at King, LeBlanc & Bland, P.L.L.C., representing businesses in complex commercial, employment, and maritime disputes. Since founding his private practice in 2010, he has successfully defended clients in criminal cases across Louisiana and assisted plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits. His exceptional work has earned numerous accolades, including AV-Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, recognition as a Top Lawyer by New Orleans Magazine, and repeated listings in Super Lawyers Magazine.

Outside the courtroom, Stephen remains active in martial arts, earning a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2024. He also contributes to legal education as an adjunct faculty member at Loyola University-New Orleans.

Mr Herbert helped me with a case during Covid. Was very knowledgeable and kept me up to date on everything. Three years later I needed some paperwork from the case and he went out of his way to get that for me. Would recommend him to anyone.

Stephen was very diligent in seeing my case through and having it refused altogether. His professional confidence reassured me that I would be successful with my legal situation. I highly recommend hiring Stephen for his services.

I chose Mr. Hebert after speaking to numerous lawyers. He made me feel comfortable and confident from the beginning. He was very knowledgeable and directed me in the right path. He made this scary situation a lot easier to deal with. He got my hit and run case totally dismissed and I never had to show up in court. I would highly recommend him.

Stephen Hebert was wonderful to work with. From the first to the last interaction, he was understanding, professional, highly responsive and knowledgeable. Stephen helped explain all legal issues in detail and helped to put the situation in context. He was fought (and got) the best outcome but was transparent about all potential outcomes. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal services.

Stephen is a true professional who personally handles your case every step of the way. You will not deal with assistants relaying your messages, full voicemails or delays in communication when you have questions. If you call, he will answer or call back without delay. If you text, he will respond. If your personal life/schedule make it challenging to attend a court date, he will go out of his way to appear on your behalf/help reschedule if it is allowed. I was facing a charge with essentially zero chance of prevailing in a trial. Steven was able to secure a significantly more favorable outcome for me without me ever having to step foot in front of a judge. Stephen obviously possesses comprehensive legal knowledge but he also knows the system, knows the people who work in the system locally and has realistic clear expectations about what is possible and what is not. He will tell it to you straight and do everything he can to advocate for your interests. Highly recomme

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
