BATON ROUGE, LA, October 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jarrett P. Ambeau has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Marked by an unwavering commitment to serving his community and defending the rights of individuals facing criminal charges, Mr. Ambeau has established a prominent career of nearly two decades in law. As the owner of The Ambeau Law Firm, LLC since 2009, he manages all aspects of the practice, including overseeing business operations, conducting jury trials, writing motions, supporting attorneys and maintaining direct communication with clients.
Known for his proficiency in high-profile cases regarding serious criminal defense — he is a court-qualified expert in forensic DNA interpretation — Mr. Ambeau is dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to his clients and their families during challenging times. His efforts ensure they receive not only legal representation but also understanding and guidance.
Alongside his ownership role at The Ambeau Law Firm, Mr. Ambeau founded Trial Alliance in 2019, where he continues to contribute to the legal profession by coaching and training trial attorneys in all aspects of handling jury trials. Reflecting his passion for supporting fellow practitioners, he also engages in weekly discussions about jury trial defense through weekly Facebook Live sessions.
From 2009 to 2018, Mr. Ambeau served as a part-time public defender with the Indigent Defense Board at the 23rd Judicial District Court in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. This role allowed him to manage a public defense docket while also running his private practice. Within three weeks of opening his firm, he began working as a contract public defender, gaining invaluable experience in representing clients and trying cases. During this period, he completed more than 40 felony jury trials to verdict — a remarkable achievement for an attorney who had never served as a prosecutor. His early exposure to courtroom proceedings and mentorship from judges and colleagues played a crucial role in shaping his legal acumen.
Beyond his civilian practice, Mr. Ambeau was part of the Trial Defense Service at the 22nd Legal Support Organization in the United States Army Reserve from 2001 to 2015. His exemplary service, including a deployment in 2004-2005 to the combat theater in Iraq, is among his proudest achievements in his personal or professional life.
Mr. Ambeau's storied legal journey began at Dugas, LeBlanc & Mire in 2009, working with his uncle and mentor, Ret. Judge Pegram Mire, where he worked in criminal defense litigation for six months before pivoting to establish his own firm. Drawing on a strong family connection to Louisiana, he received early opportunities that helped him gain valuable experience and mentorship.
Before entering the legal realm, Mr. Ambeau spent 15 years in the restaurant business. This proved to be a formative experience that instilled in him a deep appreciation for service and caring for others, which later influenced his approach to practicing law.
Hailing from an equally impressive academic background, Mr. Ambeau earned a Juris Doctor from Louisiana State University Law Center in 2008 and a master's degree in forensic DNA and blood serology from the University of Florida in 2020. To augment his knowledge and education in the forensic sciences, he has attended the National Forensic College at Cardozo Law School in New York City in 2016, 2018 and 2022.
Mr. Ambeau's professional accomplishments, trial experience, and specialty in forensic science disciplines have led to his feature in national education programs, as well as the acclaimed 2022 Netflix documentary "I Just Killed My Dad," which highlights his expertise and visibility in high-profile cases.
Reflecting on his storied journey thus far, Mr. Ambeau attributes his success to his clients and colleagues. The clients who trusted in his ability and commitment to serving their interests, and to the associates and staff who have worked with him at The Ambeau Law Firm, supporting him throughout his career. He emphasizes preparation and persistence as key factors, approaching each challenge step by step and valuing every small victory along the way.
Motivated by his longstanding desire to lead a meaningful life through service, Mr. Ambeau was inspired by his early experiences caring for people in the restaurant industry and by his uncle's example as a judge. He believes deeply in upholding constitutional rights and providing a robust defense for those accused by the government, viewing himself as a protector of citizens' liberties. In addition to his professional pursuits, he is deeply devoted to his family as a happily married man and proud father of seven children, and to his passion for physical fitness and weightlifting.
Looking toward the future, Mr. Ambeau plans to open a new office in Colorado with the goal of expanding access to forensic science and DNA services across more regions of the United States. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated exceptional skill, compassion and leadership in helping others through everything he does — qualities that continue to define his impact on clients, families and colleagues alike.
