Jacob Colonna
Attorney at Law
I was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is one of the many reasons I am now proud to serve my city and neighboring areas like Sulphur, Westlake, Jennings, and Deridder, Louisiana. I opened the Colonna Law Firm, LLC in 2013 to pursue my vision of what client-focused litigation can be. I expanded my family law experience to encompass civil and criminal litigations in a way that never sacrifices compassion in the face of efficacy.
