About Andrew B.
Andrew B. Mims built his legal foundation at two Louisiana law schools. He spent time at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2008 and earned his J.D. from the Southern University Law Center in 2011. Those years shaped the practical and procedural instincts he uses in court today.
After law school, Mims moved into litigation work. He joined The Laborde Law Office, LLC, where he has worked on matters filed in both state and federal courts. He is admitted to practice in Louisiana and in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, and he handles contested hearings and courtroom matters regularly.
His courtroom practice reflects steady preparation and attention to detail. He prepares evidence, questions witnesses, and drafts briefing for judges. Colleagues describe his approach as methodical: he breaks complex problems into concrete steps and focuses on building a record that stands up under scrutiny.
Mims maintains several professional memberships. He holds current memberships in the American Bar Association, the Louisiana Bar Association, the Lafayette Bar Association, and the Louisiana Association for Justice. He is also a member of the Inn on the Teche Chapter of the American Inns of Court. Those connections keep him plugged into continuing legal education and regional practice developments.
In day-to-day practice he blends casework at the firm with participation in the local legal community. That includes attending bar events, contributing to peer discussions, and staying current on procedural changes in both state and federal court. He has experience handling pretrial strategy, discovery disputes, and motions practice, and he brings that experience to each matter he accepts.
Mims approaches each file as a series of manageable tasks rather than a single overwhelming problem. He works from intake through resolution, addressing procedural needs and advancing factual positions in court when necessary. He is currently practicing at The Laborde Law Office, LLC and focuses on litigation that arises in Louisiana state courts and the Western District of Louisiana federal court.
