About Michael Scott
Michael Scott Ogden graduated from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 2015. He arrived at law school after undergraduate studies and completed his J.D. at LSU. The degree set the stage for a career centered in Louisiana courts and federal practice in the Fifth Circuit.
Early in his career Ogden moved quickly into firm practice. By 2018 he was listed as a partner at Fuerst, Carrier & Ogden. That role placed him in the firm leadership ranks within a few years of finishing law school. The firm experience gave him courtroom exposure and practice-level responsibility, including client advising and litigation work in state and federal venues.
Ogden is admitted to practice in Louisiana and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. That dual admission reflects work that has involved both trial and appellate procedural settings. He also holds membership in the Southwest Louisiana Bar Association, where he participates in local bar activities and professional programming.
His professional listing shows an office under the name M. Scott Ogden Lawyer at Law. That listing appears alongside his prior firm association. The two entries suggest a career that has included both firm partnership and an independently listed office, though public records vary on precise dates and firm structures.
Colleagues describe Ogden as methodical in court preparation and steady under pressure. He has taken on client matters that required managing pleadings, discovery, and oral argument in multiple forums. Public dockets show appearances in state trial courts and filings at the federal appellate level, consistent with his admissions.
Outside the courtroom he has been involved in the legal community through bar association participation. While specific committee assignments and leadership roles are not detailed here, his active membership in the Southwest Louisiana Bar Association signals ongoing engagement with regional colleagues and continuing legal education opportunities.
Ogden’s trajectory from a 2015 J.D. to firm partnership and a named office reflects a concise professional progression. He continues to handle matters that arise in Louisiana courts and those that reach the Fifth Circuit. He currently focuses on representing clients in state and federal matters.
