Monette M. Davis

Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. New Orleans, Louisiana

Monette M. Davis is an associate attorney at Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is a New Orleans native. She currently assist clients with fiduciary litigation, insurance defense, and family law matters. Monette joined Stone Pigman in 2019 and serves as a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, New Orleans Bar Association, the New Orleans Chapter Federal Bar Association, and GNO Louis A. Martinet Legal Society.

Monette attended Dillard University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice in May 2013, and attended Southern University Law Center where she received her Juris Doctor degree in May 2019. She was inspired to become an attorney by her father when she was a teenager. However, when her oldest sister was murdered in New Orleans in 2011 as a result of domestic violence, her desire for the legal profession increased. With this travesty, Monette’s continuous aspiration is to be a change in Louisiana and provide a space
where people can rely and believe that they won’t be failed by the justice system.

Congratulations, Monette M. Davis
