A native of Livingston Parish, Baleigh Olah Henderson attended Southeastern Louisiana University, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Marketing, and was awarded the Dean Brunson Scholar's Award upon graduation. She continued her professional education at Southern University Law Center, earning her Juris Doctorate. She was admitted to practice law in the State of Louisiana in May of 2020.

Baleigh has clerked for local personal injury law firms, as well as for the Louisiana Attorney General's Office, and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

After graduating law school, she worked at the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, where she practiced in the public sector, focusing on administrative law, and the laws, rules, and regulations for the state of Louisiana. Growing up on cattle and produce farms, she felt right at home at the Department.

​

A call closer to home brought her back to Livingston and Tangipahoa Parish, to practice in the private sector at B Duke Injury Attorneys. Baleigh also works closely with St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland Catholic Church, as their Director of Religious Education, Sacramental Coordinator, and Digital Media Director. When she isn't working, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband, Justin, their two miniature dachshunds, Honey Bee and Buzzy Bee, and serving others through various local ministries.
