What You Can Expect

Every Client Matters. Every Case Matters.

For St. Bernard Parish clients, we offer personal attention and trial-tested representation, walking you through every step of your claim while fighting for fair results in and out of court.

Genuine care, every step of the way

We don’t treat you like a case number. We listen, explain the process, and stay accessible while we fight for results.

Aggressive courtroom advocacy

Insurance companies don’t offer fair deals out of kindness. We build strong legal arguments & hold them accountable in negotiations and in court.

Contingency-based representation

We don’t get paid unless you do. It’s that simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Louisiana?

    We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t owe us anything unless we win your case.

  • How long do I have to file a claim after an injury or property loss?

    Louisiana has one of the shortest legal deadlines in the country — just one year in most cases. That’s why it’s important to speak with an attorney right away.

  • What types of compensation can I recover?

    Depending on the case, you may be eligible for medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, future treatment, and other damages.

  • Do I need a lawyer even if the insurance company made an offer?

    Yes. Insurance adjusters try to settle claims fast and cheap. A lawyer can help you understand the real value of your claim and avoid signing away your rights.

Client Testimonials

Bruce kept me in the know about every step of the process and I was very happy with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Bruce to anyone needing help with a workmans comp issue."

"Stephen is an asset to our company. He skillfully reviews and negotiates multimillion-dollar contracts, he artfully drafts subcontracts and leases, and he has successfully represented us in court and before municipal boards. He is an accomplished lawyer that is always there when we need him. He is our confidant and friend."

Furino & Sons Inc. (Brothers Four)

"It is truly our pleasure to recommend Stephen to any individual or corporation looking for highly skilled legal counsel. He has represented us on a variety of corporate legal matters and he is a master with both contract and lease negotiations, always offering exceptional strategic advice. More recently, he represented us in front of the Township Planning Board and helped us achieve our desired results when it seemed impossible. We highly endorse Stephen both personally and professionally."

 HEC Holding Co., LLC

"Stephen has successfully represented our company’s interests in several matters involving intricate fact patterns and novel legal theories. In one, a particularly aggressive plaintiff was convinced by Stephen to voluntarily dismiss a lawsuit in which it sought significant monetary damages. These favorable outcomes have resulted from Stephen’s thorough and careful review of all facts and circumstances and his dedication to the best interests of his client. In every matter in which we have retained Stephen he has sought to obtain the best possible result in the shortest possible time. We recommend Stephen without reservation."
