## Practice focus

Catastrophic motor vehicle accidents and wrongful death form the core of Ms. Nolen's practice. Her cases include commercial-vehicle collisions, traumatic brain and spinal injuries, fatal crashes, OSHA violations, and premises liability. These cases frequently turn on how thoroughly the damages are built and presented — medical proof, life-care needs, and economic loss — where her finance background gives her a distinct advantage.

## Background

Ms. Nolen earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from L.S.U. before completing her Juris Doctor at Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center. Before joining Morris & Dewett, she clerked for Judges Marcotte and O’Callaghan at the First Judicial District Court, where she saw firsthand how judges weigh evidence and rule on motions. She has completed training in trial advocacy and civil mediation. Her finance background gives her a real edge in valuing and presenting the complex damages at the heart of catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases.

## Honors and recognition

Ms. Nolen was selected to the Louisiana Super Lawyers Rising Stars list in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — a recognition limited to no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys under 40 or in practice ten years or less. TopVerdict named her among the Top 100 Motor Vehicle Accident Settlements in the United States for 2024. She is a member of the Louisiana Association for Justice and the Louisiana State Bar Association.
