Practice Areas
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice focuses on protecting the rights of persons seriously injured by the fault of others. We handle vehicle and truck accidents and workplace injuries and have extensive experience with a wide variety of complex cases involving traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, serious burn injuries, and permanent physical disabilities.
Business & Commercial Litigation
Business disputes are a central part of our practice. Our lawyers have broad experience litigating or resolving complex business and contract issues arising in Louisiana and across the country.
Maritime & Admiralty Law
Our firm has decades of experience in the fields of maritime and admiralty law. We have represented workers injured on vessels, platforms, rigs, and docks for many years, and we also defend companies who are sued on claims involving maritime-related injuries arising under the Jones Act or the general maritime law.
Mediation
Mediation, either voluntary or court-ordered, is conducted in almost all significant cases today. Our firm has extensive experience not only in mediating disputes for clients, but in being selected to serve as court-appointed or privately retained mediators working to resolve disputes for other attorneys and their clients.
Estate Planning
Louisiana has unique laws regulating the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other documents designed to help people fulfill their wishes and meet the needs of those they care about. We can help you think through these issues and develop a plan.
Navigating the Law with New Orleans Integrity
Our Attorneys
Our founders began their legal careers in the litigation sections of large regional firms. Three members of the firm have been appointed by the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board to chair Hearing Committees that recommend to the Louisiana Supreme Court punishments, suspensions, and disbarment of attorneys who have violated our profession’s ethical rules. Our partners were blessed to grow up in small towns in Louisiana, but we are also devoted to our city and community and are actively involved in a wide range of charitable and community outreach programs in the New Orleans metropolitan area.
