--Experience--

After graduating from law school in 1979, firm founder, Thomas C. Damico, worked for 5 years as an assistant district Attorney for the East Baton Rouge Parish. In 1984, he left the prosecutor's office and began to apply his knowledge of criminal law in his own defense practice. Our Attorney, Thomas C. Damico, is a hardworking advocate of defendant's rights and a lifelong student of the law. It is quickly apparent to clients and court officials that he enjoys criminal defense work and is very good at it. His success in state and federal cases has earned Mr. Damico a strong reputation among other defense Attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. Brent Stockstill graduated from law school in 1989 and immediately began practicing as a prosecutor in the East Baton Rouge District Attorney's office. During the next 18 years of service in that position, Mr. Stockstill earned a reputation as an aggressive and successful trial lawyer. His performance in the job earned him the position of Section Chief in the District Attorney's office. As Section Chief he not only handled the most complicated and highly publicized cases in the section, but he was responsible for the training of other lawyers in the office as well as investigators and staff. It was that reputation, knowledge and experience that Mr. Stockstill had earned that caused Mr. Damico to seek him out for partnership in his firm. Mr. Damico needed an aggressive and experienced trial lawyer and sought to take the best one from the ranks of the District Attorney's office; the addition of Mr. Stockstill met that goal. Following graduation from LSU's Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 2022, Zachary Hire was admitted to the Louisiana State Bar and began his career in criminal defense at the East Baton Rouge Public Defender's office, before joining Damico & Stockstill Attorneys in 2024. Hire's philosophy revolves around an unwavering dedication to justice and rights of every individual. He is a staunch believer in the presumption of innocence and the principle that every person deserves a fair trial, regardless of the accusations they face. Hire's approach blends meticulous preparation with empathy for his clients, ensuring their voices are heard and their cases are represented with skill and integrity.

🏈 Football season is here!

The games, tailgates, rivalries, and celebrations are all part of the fun. But there’s one thing that should never be part of your game-day plan: drunk driving.

If you’re going to enjoy a few drinks while watching the game, make a plan before kickoff:
🍻 Choose a designated driver
🚗 Use a rideshare or taxi
🏠 Stay where you’re watching the game
📱 Hand your keys to someone you trust

A few minutes of planning can prevent a lifetime of consequences — and, more importantly, can help keep you and everyone else on the road safe.

But if you or a loved one does find yourself facing legal trouble after a game-day celebration, our criminal defense team is here to help. We’ll work to protect your rights and help you understand your options.

Don’t face it alone. Give us a call.

GEAUX TIGERS! 🐅

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Congratulations to Zachary Hire for having a 1st degree murder case No Billed. Through multiple phone calls and discussions with the ADA, the case went in front of a Grand Jury, and no charges were brought onto the client.

We also have to give credit to attorney Brent Stockstill who was able to get a complete dismissal on a 2nd degree murder case. Our client was arrested in 2024 and, ultimately, Mr. Stockstill was able to get justice and have the case thrown out!

We take pride in taking care of our clients and getting the best results for every single one! Good job, Mr. Hire and Mr. Stockstill! ⚖⭐
