The Law Office of Cougle Law, L.L.C. is managed by David J. Cougle, Attorney at Law.



Mr. Cougle graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2003 with a B.S. in Computer Science. He then spent 1 year as a C.A.S.A., providing volunteer representation for children in troubled homes.

During the summer of 2007, Mr. Cougle traveled to the war-torn country of Lebanon and worked with a persecuted religious minority there. It was this experience that led Mr. Cougle to realize the severe need of such organizations throughout the world for legal assistance. Domestically, Mr. Cougle provides immigration services for clients seeking visas, immigration, and individuals seeking asylum in the United States or other friendly countries.



Mr. Cougle is familiar with basic written and Levantine spoken Arabic and is very familiar with Arabic culture. He often coordinates with groups who work to end religious persecution and spread religious freedom in the Arab world.



Mr. Cougle is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Slidell Bar Association, and the Covington Bar Association.
