What We Do
We are three brothers, all attorneys at law, in a client service oriented legal firm established in 1986 to practice chiefly personal injury law consisting of representing automobile accident victims, injured pedestrians, products liability claimants, medical malpractice victims, Life and Health Insurance claimants, commercial litigation, and victims of torts. We represent injured parties in Louisiana Workman's Compensation (WC) claims and persons seeking Social Security disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits under the Social Security Act (SSA).
We also represent several corporate clients, both as plaintiffs and defendants, including private prisons, oilfield equipment providers, and annuity companies.
Our legal practice is limited to the State of
Louisiana only.
