Experienced Insurance Defense Lawyers for Louisiana and the Gulf Coast
A fundamental part of our law practice includes defending insurers and their insureds. We have successfully defended many clients in courts, administrative hearings and tribunals throughout Louisiana. Louisiana courts present a challenge for defendants, particularly insurance companies. Louisiana is a “direct action” state, meaning that liability insurance companies can be directly sued in tort cases. Our lawyers are respected by the bench and bar alike as experienced, talented and successful litigators.
Our commitment is to resolve legal disputes in an efficient manner, consistent with our clients' needs and goals, regardless of whether those will be met by settlement negotiations, mediation or trial.
In representing insurance companies large and small, we follow a proven strategy:
- We confer with our clients regularly to develop a plan of action and budget
- We efficiently use available resources to move the matter towards a favorable and expeditious resolution, revising the plan when necessary
- We keep our clients informed of significant developments, so they can make invaluable decisions
- We work for you — decisions which affect your case are your prerogative
- We provide outstanding legal representation at a competitive rate
