I completed my undergraduate degrees at Washington University in St. Louis, where I received a four-year, full tuition, academic scholarship. I majored in Economics and Spanish Literature. After college, I attended law school in Baton Rouge at Louisiana State University, the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. I graduated from LSU with high honors, cum laude and obtained my Juris Doctor with a Graduate Diploma of Civil Law.
After law school, I moved to downtown St. Louis, passed the Missouri bar exam, and started my legal career in litigation as a Plaintiff attorney. When I passed the Illinois bar exam, I moved to Lakeview in Chicago where I worked in Willis Tower and shifted my practice to complex civil and commercial litigation. In the process, I passed the Louisiana bar exam, and moved to New Orleans, where I have primarily practiced ever since.
I’m licensed in Missouri, Illinois, and Louisiana, specializing in complex civil litigation, and trial advocacy. My journey in the legal field has been marked by a steadfast commitment to championing the rights of my clients and achieving favorable outcomes in even the most complex legal battles.

Over the years, I have honed my skills in a diverse range of litigation practice areas, including personal injury, contract disputes, and employment law. I approach each case with a thorough understanding of the intricacies involved, utilizing a strategic and analytical mindset to develop compelling arguments that stand up in court.
Trial Advocacy:
Having spent countless hours in courtrooms, I thrive in the high-stakes environment of trials. I believe that effective trial advocacy requires not only legal acumen but also the ability to connect with judges and juries on a human level. This approach has resulted in a track record of successful verdicts and settlements for my clients.

Recognizing the need for a client-centered legal practice, I took the bold step of establishing my own firm, Wandell Legal, LLC. This venture reflects my unwavering belief that legal representation should be personal, accessible, and tailored to the unique needs of each client.
