Experience
Our firm has been awarded the highest rating possible (AV) by the National Legal
Directory of Martindale-Hubbell in recognition of our legal skills and
commitment to excellence. Our firm is also listed in A.M. Best's Directory of
Recommended Insurance Attorneys.
Because our attorneys have extensive experience in the courts in the Greater New
Orleans area, judges and attorneys know that we are skillful advocates who are
always well prepared. One judge even describes our comprehensive approach to
cases as "wearing belts and suspenders".
Our firm typically sets over 100 trials a year, of which approximately 30
actually proceed to judgment. Local judges constantly comment that we try more
cases than many firms that are much larger than ours. That’s not because we try
every case—we don’t. We only try those cases that need to be tried. But, we have
found that our opponents are more likely to settle for reasonable amounts
because they know that we are not reluctant to try a case.
Our attorneys have handled cases in all divisions of the courts in the Greater
New Orleans area and have tried cases before almost all of the judges. As a
result, we know the judges and procedures of all divisions of federal and state
courts in the area. This familiarity allows us to predict with greater accuracy
the probable rulings of most judges. Needless to say, this enables us to provide
more reliable advice to our clients, enabling them to make better-informed
decisions.
