They called me before Xmas and said I needed to sign for a check I did was told I'll should have the money in a week. A month later they see my number (twice) they don't answer I wait five minutes and call from another number and pick up on first ring. Shady lawyers are the worst and he's one of them.

I just had to share my experience with Ron Austin's law firm. It was such a pleasure speaking with Lydia Dixon. She was professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and thorough throughout our conversation. Unfortunately, great customer care/service has become the exception instead of the normal. Again, Kudos to Lydia for showing empathy along with her professionalism.
Respectfully,
Cassandra M. Walton

What’s going on with my case??
Your unwillingness to return phone calls and/or give updates is ridiculous!!!!
I don’t bother anyone about anything, it’s not in my nature. But to be ignored by someone who I thought I could trust with my case is very unsettling. I brought my suit to you years ago, and I still have no resolution or knowledge of what you’re doing with the case. I’ve been through so much since I came to your office many years ago now, and you sir, well it seems like you just don’t give a damn (my opinion).

I hired Sharon Williams to help me with a name change. I told her I wanted to use an attorney with experience in this sort of thing so I wouldn't have to worry about it and would get it done fast as I need to have my preferred name match for my job. She told me not to worry, that she would take care of it quickly. I initially met with her in late July, and I signed my petition in early August. it is now January and the process is not done. She has been very unresponsive, as I've texted her multiple times asking for specifics on why this is taking so long. I now haven't heard from her in a week. I've called her office multiple times with no answer and left messages. Called her phone but the voicemail box is full. The lack of communication leaves me to not trust that she is able to do the job I paid her to do in a timely manner, and feel like I've wasted my time and money for something I would have been better off doing myself. Ive spoken with people who have changed their names on their own with no attorney and most did it within a month. I am at 5 months. My passport has expired and my license expires soon which will be a major complication where I have to renew it under my old name, while I was under the impression would have been taken care of by now. I would not trust Sharon Williams with anything as important as custody or a will if she can't even properly do a name change.

I was referred to Womac Law Firm by a representative at the New Orleans VA and I'm so glad I listened.
Ryan Womack and his team were extremely patient; especially when my previous car insurance adjustor kept giving me the runaround. My case was settled in a year and couple months (2023-2025). I am entirely grateful for this law firm and I hope the team knows I appreciate them. ❤

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.

1 st off let me just say how wonderful the staff/ team Ms. Laura have! I have been a client of hers since my first accident back in 2017. She's been able to settle my cases within one year time frame. Other attorneys my friends and family had went to took 2yrs+ to settle auto accidents! So in my eyes I feel Laura is efficient. If you feel the need to call the lawfirm every couple of days then you wasting your time going the suing route because patience is key. When something in my case came up to her calling me about settling and collecting money, their communication is on point. Laura and her staff is for the people and if anyone says different need a reality check because you don't find genuine attorneys these days just money hungry hobknockers 🤷🏽.
Thank you Laura for representing my cases 🙏🏽 🙌 you ROCK!

Horrible communication for a law firm. I was
Referred by someone that thought they were a great candidate. But, every time I called for info regarding my case I was always given the run around treatment, of them not knowing. And that they will give me a call back. I would be the one calling back after days of nothing and pro longing my case to benefit only them. After my case wrapped up the same person that referred me got in an accident. He reached out to Kambur law firm about his case. Asked multiple times to have his lawyer contact them directly. Several days go by and Mrs. Laura K. NEVER contacted my friend, So they reached out to another law firm because he felt just like I felt this time around with lack of communication from Kambur law firm. When the other law firm contracted Kambur about the case and informed them that they will be now taking over the case. Mrs. Laura decides to call my friend multiple times and than decides to contact me regarding them and if I can have my friend call Mrs Laura. Oooooo now we exist, now we are important , I thought clients come first. Y’all work for us. I understand yall can be busy but to make both of us fell unappreciated is horrible service.We never contacted them again but, they made sure they dropped me as a client by sending a sheriff with papers stating they no longer would like to represent me. lol 😂 but we already know I was not contacting KAMBUR LAW FIRM again!

When I called Mr Bruno’s office, they put me directly though to him. After discussing the severity of my accident, he was able to set up a doctor’s appointment for me the same day. Stephen Bruno kept me informed of what was happening with the insurance company and assured me that I wouldn’t have to pay for anything. He covered all doctor visits, MRI’s and therapy. He put my mind at ease, so I could worked on recovering. I have and will continue to referred him to family and friends.

After a horrible car accident I was referred to Stephen by a friend. I was given advice and felt taken care of. Stephen and his office made sure that I had my questions answered and my concerns heard. He fought to make sure all my problems would be fixed. I have already referred a family member to him.

I was served last night with my first legal issue (civil) - this was completely unexpected and terrifying. Once I read the document, I did research by reading reviews on civil attorneys into the late night. Filled out 3 consultation forms on 3 different law firm websites.
The Khan Law Firm, LLC was my first choice. Why? I picked them because the first thing you see on their website is women - beautiful colored women , both with impressive backgrounds. The reviews on them were great. I had it in my head they would definitely lead me in the right direction even if they did not take my case.
Today, I called Khan Law Firm and spoke with Ms. Shalahn. She was not personable or kind. I asked if there was any availability for a free consultation or if there was a fee. I didn’t even get a chance to explain my situation. She advised me that they were booked and to call the bar association and that I needed to do research. The bar association is or could be in Baton Rouge per Shalahn. I thanked her and carried on.
Not sure whether they were actually booked or maybe she just didn’t want to be bothered by me.
I’m terrified by a legal issue in the first place. Don’t call this place for seeking for first time assistance. It’ll only make you feel worse.
Anyways, I found a great, HELPFUL attorney towards the end of the day. Maybe that’s rare with free consultations.

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.

- 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.
