Barbara Juneau Mixon

That same year, Barbara married Mark Mixon of Bunkie, LA, and together they have three children: Luke, Emily, and Molly, and 5 grandchildren. Her husband Mark is a fourth-generation sugar cane farmer and through him she learned never to take anything, especially the weather for granted. Luke, the eldest, is a Navy pilot. She, her husband, two daughters and daughter in law are all LSU graduates with her granddaughter scheduled to graduate in May. They share a love of LSU and enjoy tailgating at LSU games together.

After marrying Mark, Barbara began working at the Social Security Administration’s hearing office, which is the adjudicatory branch of the Social Security disability program. For 21 years, she worked there as a supervisor of 16 attorneys and paralegals. She left to go into private practice, and in 2013 she began working as an attorney at Neblett, Beard & Arsenault.

“Since coming to NBA, I have grown this area of practice and have come to know and care for a great many of my clients,” says Barbara. She has seen clients struggle, unable to afford basic necessities through no fault of their own. She has a deep empathy for her clients and has dedicated her life’s work to guiding people through the often-difficult process of Social Security Disability. In the thirty-three years she has practiced law, Barbara has assisted thousands of individuals in obtaining their benefits in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. She is a member of the Louisiana Bar Association and the Avoyelles and Rapides Parish Bar Associations. She is a member to two local women’s political organizations.
