Daniel E. Becnel Jr

I, Daniel E. Becnel, Jr., was born on June 14, 1944. My father, Daniel Elmore Becnel, was an attorney until his death in 1965. He spent most of his career in the military and was a War Crimes Prosecutor after World War II. After his military career ended, he became a Louisiana State Legislator until his death in 1965. My mother is a registered nurse. I have been married twice, first to Deonne Du Barry, and second to Mary Hotard Becnel, presently a State District Judge for the 40th Judicial District Court in Louisiana and a candidate for the Louisiana State Supreme Court. My brother and his wife are both attorneys in my firm, as is my son. Ten years ago when my brother was dying, I donated a kidney to him which enabled him to return to a normal life.

I attended Louisiana State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1966. In 1969, I earned my Law Degree from Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana. I have been admitted to practice in Louisiana and Colorado, and have been a member in good standing since my admissions. Visit me at www.becnellaw.com .
