From Humble Beginnings to "Best Attorney" Honors

Attorney Stephen Rue grew up under the loving care of his widowed mother, Jeannie Rue Pearson. Jeannie worked as a public-school teacher to put Stephen and his sister through school and college. He graduated from Loyola Law School with high grades and a driving will to succeed, not only for himself, but also for his clients. His family always enjoyed having Miniature Schnauzers in their home. Desiring a constant canine companion when he set out on his own, he decided to get a fluffy “Cavapoo” puppy: a heart-melting crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Miniature Poodle. The apple of his eye, beautiful six-year-old “Evie” is very independent and loves attention, as she rules the Rue roost. Evie is an outgoing, gentle and playful social butterfly. She loves her big yard and enjoys welcoming the workers who are currently busy building her a new pool. She has never met a stranger and is looking forward to upcoming cocktail parties in her home, where she will be the center of attention and show off all her best manners. Everyone instantly falls in love with this silky beauty!

Mr. Rue reigned as King of the Krewe of Boo as well as King of the Mardi Gras Krewe of Alla, the fourth-oldest Mardi Gras parading organization in New Orleans history. Since 2003, he has been a proud member of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, the most prestigious and selective African-American organization in New Orleans. In 2009, for the 100th Year Anniversary of Zulu, he was elected as the first Caucasian “Mr. Big Stuff” in the history of the organization. He’s also a Zulu Tramp in their parading walking group and is a member of the Krewe of Rolling Elvi!
