About Joshua S.
Joshua S. Guillory has built a career that spans private practice, legal education and municipal government. He is admitted to practice in Louisiana and Massachusetts, and he is also admitted to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials frame a practice that moves between courtrooms, classrooms and city hall.
He opened his own firm in 2011. As owner and senior lawyer at The Law Office of Joshua S. Guillory, LLC, he has managed client matters and run the daily operations of a small practice. That same year he also served on the faculty at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette as a professor of law. He returned to a listed professor role at the university in 2020, balancing academic duties with his work in private practice.
Public service entered the mix in 2020 when he held the office of Lafayette Mayor-President within Lafayette Consolidated Government. The post placed him at the center of local governance for a period, and it added an administrative and policy dimension to his legal background. He has moved between elected office and legal work in ways that bring insights from one setting into the other.
In the classroom he taught law students and engaged in the practical questions that reach municipal and state courts. In his practice he has appeared before state courts and holds admission to argue before the highest federal court. His membership in the American Inns of Court signals ongoing engagement with professional development and collegial exchange among lawyers and judges.
Colleagues and clients see a practitioner who combines teaching experience with courtroom exposure and municipal leadership. He manages litigation and advisory work through his firm while maintaining ties to the university and civic institutions. His professional path crosses sectors rather than staying within a single lane.
He maintains an active practice through The Law Office of Joshua S. Guillory, LLC. His current work draws on experience in local government, legal education and private representation.
