I live in a town called Plaquemine LA. A very corrupt town. A town where every black man is guilty in the eyes of the judicial system. A system that is ran by certain families, and a whole lot of unfairness and corruption and injustice. My nephew was arrested on a murder charge here in Plaquemine. He told his mother that he wanted John Fuller & Associates to represent him on this charge. His, mother went and retained John Fuller as his attorney. Living in a town such as Plaquemine, and knowing how corrupted the system and town is. John Fuller came to Plaquemine and he represented my nephew. He let my nephew decide his faith. When I say my Family are forever grateful and Thankful to the Fuller Law Firm. It gave me great pleasure to hear, officials in Plaquemine saying Fuller is the best.
Thank you

I highly recommend Amber L Cain for family law matters. Before choosing a lawyer, I had several consultations and I felt that she was the most genuine and sincere. Her pricing is extremely fair as well. She gave several referrals for other services when needed. She responded to my emails and calls in a timely fashion and when my matter was resolved I received the rest of my retainer without any issues! Definitely glad I choose to work with her!

Ms. Cain is a responsive, knowledgable and stalwart attorney. I retained her for a high-conflict custody case that would end up taking 18 months and the involvement of child development specialists to navigate; she was with me every step of the way, effectively moving the ball forward.
Against the backdrop of heightened stress, her ability to manage client expectations and engage both parties with practical solutions and a cool head was remarkable. Ms. Cain has an exceptional instinct for when and how to be strategically flexible, versus when to draw "red lines". My family, children and the coparenting relationship with my former spouse would not be in the positive place it is today without her support and expertise.

Roger Jordan is AMAZING! Not only is he VERY PROFESSIONAL AND HIGHLY Educated, but he has so much experience from working many years in JP, Orleans, And my case was in Livingston Parish. Roger is extremely nice and does not beat around the bush. He does not gouge you for money like many lawyers in the area do. Rodger Jordan is very responsive to your needs and if you have any questions, he does a great job of getting back to you in a very timely manner. By the grace of God, did I find Rodger because without him I would have never beat my case. Thank you Rodger Jordan for everything that you've done for me throughout all these years. I cannot express what this man has done for me and my family and he is definitely a Super Lawyer here in New Orleans!

They are really awesome. You just have to know the games of lawyers and the part they play. From my experience through, research yourself self about whatever it is your going in there for. That way you can't be told anything. you will know what's going on with your lawyer backing you up.

Alex did an incredible job handling my claim. Very impressed by his professionalism, compassion, diligence and hard work.
Truly felt at peace entrusting my case to him as he was so knowledgeable and determined. He fought for me every step of the way and I'm very pleased with the results, and in such a timely manner too!
He and his paralegal, Ashley, kept me up to date with frequent phone calls, text messages and emails. Both of them took the time to listen to my questions and concerns, explain all the legalities and provide reassurance.
I 100% recommend Alex and his firm. Very greatful.

My attorney Mr. Gray handled my personal injury case. My mother & I were hit by a limo bus & sustained some injuries. He & his team made sure we were seen by great doctors & were there every step of the way.
If you’re looking to get someone to get you to the right compensation for your injuries, he’s the man to do it! It’s a process, one that can’t be rushed! Daryl Gray is the man to make it happen.

I could not recommend this firm and this group of people any higher. Everyone we had contact with from the Secretary, the paralegals to Jeremy the lawyer who handled our case were the friendliest most accommodating group we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
Our case was a very complicated case involving automotive parts and repair. Jeremy took the time to learn every step of how the repair was done to how all the parts actually work so that he could understand exactly what was going on. He even accommodated our tough schedule with meetings after work to go over the smallest of details. When it was time for court he knew as much as the expert witness. The communication back and forth was awesome and the attention to every little detail for our preparation from Jeremy almost made court enjoyable. It definitely made the experience a lot easier to endure as there was no hidden surprises that we were not prepared for. If you are looking for a law firm with exceptional people that actually care for their clients then Gertler Law Firm is the right choice.

My wife and I said that New Orleans is definitely a city that we wanted to visit. As fate would have it, her job brought her to New Orleans on a weeklong business trip and I was her plus one. I was having a really great time until I was involved in an incident where I was hit by a car while crossing at an intersection in the French Quarters. We had only been in the city for 3 days during a 7 days stay, yet, I was confined to resting in my hotel room for the remainder of the trip. I saw that there were a lot of television commercials for accident attorneys; however, when I called them to get a consultation, no one would take my case because I was from another state. That is until I contacted The Gertler Law Firm. Although I was unable to speak to anyone until the day we were flying out, they accommodated my wife and I by getting us into their office and made us feel valued and appreciated from the very first handshake. I felt their concern and earnestness was genuine and it assured us that we would be taken care of. When we left, I felt that recovering from my injuries was all that I had to worry about, The Gertler Law Firm would handle the rest. Throughout the weeks and months to follow, they kept me informed and updated on the status and progress of the matter and they were prompt and diligent when it came to addressing my medical needs and billing. Again, during this ordeal, getting better was my only burden to bare. In the end, I did get better and was made whole due to the dedicated efforts of the team at The Gertler Law Firm. Even though I didn’t get to enjoy “The Big Easy” the way I would have liked to, I will definitely be returning for the food, the sights, the music and to personally thank the very capable people of The Gertler Law Firm!

I have used Elizabeth several times to help me with a few legal issues. She successfully negotiated several contracts with my bisiness. She represented me on a minor domestic matter. She also helped me with some traffic problems. I appreciate that I can always call her for advice or a question. If she cant talk to me right away then scheduling a time to talk is always easy. I respect her dedication and hard work. She is not shy when it comes to fighting hard for a client. If you want a lawyer who will communicate with you and explain everything in clear terms, then I recommend you call her law firm.

Working with Elizabeth Carpenter and her law firm has truly saved my life, which in the past was entirely unmanageable. In 2020 while I was in active addiction I made the grave mistake of falling into the wrong crowd of people that unfortunately involved me in a high profile case in Jefferson Parish. By some miracle she and her law firm were able to help me retain most of my freedoms and continued to fight for me through the process of probation and ensuring that I got the help I needed to achieve a sober life. She still continues today to help me in the fight to rebuild my life one step at a time. Today I am a free man thanks to Elizabeth!

This is long and i apologize, but this needs to be seen.
I received a ordinance violation ticket last year and hired Elizabeth after an issue with our previous attorney. She said she would do some research and let us know our options. She never contacted us back, so unless we called her there was no communication. Everytime we asked what was going on, she had nothing. WE did the research, WE did all the footwork. When my trial came she was still not prepared. The DA questioned the officer involved and he had no clue who I was and then assumed I was actually someone else. When Elizabeth went to question him she did not ask any questions regarding what the officer said and bumbled through the entire questioning. Ultimately I was found guilty for a charge that I never did.
My husband in his frustration through this
( his review is here as well anthony beck) contacted her several times regarding the fact she never did any research, or contacted us, she would get short and overly defensive with him. He did tell her flat out that during this time she did nothing which is the truth.
In court she told me he was a "scary, horrible abusive man" and she "feels sorry for me".
She responded to his review with half truths and messaged me demanding he remove his review, again saying that she feels sorry for me living with "such a horrible abusive man" which he is definitely not.

Being involved in an accident is a traumatizing event but having to deal with the insurance companies during that time is overwhelming and leaves you feeling helpless. Chip takes the time to meet you and make you feel like family. Carmen goes above and beyond to make sure your situation is handled with care. All of the staff makes you feel valued. They are very accommodating, and empathetic to your needs and situation. If you have an accident I highly recommend doing business with them.

I live far out-of-state and had an old (but minor) traffic violation ticket that needed to be cleared from my license *in-person*. Obviously, this was not going to be possible for me to travel to NOLA, so I contacted Seth about appearing for me in court to resolve this matter.
In my case, this whole experience was effortless and the matter was resolved without any issue. I felt completely at ease from the start that everything would be taken care of, and I got a message immediately after the court date notifying me that all of the charges were dismissed! I could not be happier with their professionalism, care and representation!
Thank you, Bloom!!

Will he then in return do the work that money was paid to do? Nope. He also CANNOT handle being told that he is not measuring up to the level of professionalism he was hired for.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
