About Bruce C. Betzer, Attorney at Law

We’re a local Louisiana law firm with a real passion for helping injured people. Whether you were hurt in an accident, at work, or by property damage, our team stands ready to help you move forward with honest guidance and aggressive representation.

Our Story

We started this firm with one goal: to stand up for people who’ve been pushed around by big insurance companies. Since day one, we’ve helped families across Metairie, New Orleans, and surrounding parishes fight for justice after life-changing injuries, work accidents, and property losses.

Our team isn’t just here to “work your case” — we’re here to answer your questions, explain your rights, and take the pressure off while you focus on healing. We treat every client like a person, not a file number.

Our Roots Run Deep

With over a decade of experience and local ties throughout Jefferson and Orleans Parish, we bring legal strength and street smarts to every case we handle. From negotiating with stubborn insurers to going to trial, we’re not afraid to do the hard work that gets results.

We’ve earned the trust of thousands of clients across Southeast Louisiana — and we work every day to keep it.

Who We Serve

We represent clients from all walks of life — construction workers, restaurant staff, delivery drivers, office workers, families, and retirees — because injuries don’t discriminate. If someone else’s negligence hurt you or damaged your property, we’ll help you get the compensation you deserve.
