I would like to Thank Montiel Hodge New Orleans firm and its representatives for their patience answering questions and keeping me informed on my case as it was settled. Thank you!

Montiel Hodge provided us with excellent representation through a two-year construction arbitration ordeal. They were knowledgeable about the law and the arbitration landscape and provided us with great resources to build our case. Despite all manner of nonsense and delays from the opposing party, they never lost enthusiasm for achieving a positive outcome for us and they succeeded! Mark and Landis were an exceptional team and we are so grateful to them for guiding us through this nightmare.

I'm very please with the firm concern and professionalism I highly recommend them to others they've done a great job in settling my case God bless

Pursuing legal action can be a daunting choice, usually brought on by unfortunate circumstances that require that justice be served. In my case, my insurance company refused to recognize the deep, structural damage to my home's brick exterior, brought on by the tremendous wind torment of hurricane Laura. Even after I presented a professional evaluation of the nascent damage, that only progressed with time, as is typical of structural cracking, my insurance company denied my claim and "officially" concluded that any cracking was due to settling earth, without ever having come out to look. Their evaluation and conclusion was all done over the phone and their Ap. I was distraught, disappointed and eventually disgusted. Fortunately, YouTube had a few videos on hurricane brick damage and a friend told me about Montiel-Hodge Law Firm. As I watched the cracks in my bricks continue to grow, I decided to reach out to Montiel-Hodge, even though they were located in New Orleans...clean across the state from Lake Charles. After a quick, initial discussion and evaluation, a Ms. Shelby Talley took the time to respond to all my questions and concerns related to the representation agreement. She was stellar in her articulation and interpretation of the legal concepts, terms and objectives contained. I felt quite comfortable with her expertise and concern, leading to a strong sense of organic confidence, resulting in the retention of their services. From there, it was a series of follow up discussions and updates that gave view and context to the process of seeking justice for the damage done to my home that my insurance company refused to recognize, and much less recompense...despite my years of patronage, believing that I was buying protection for just such a situation. My case was particularly challenging due to changes in my insurance company's legal position but with Ms.Talley's guidance, my case was settled to my great satisfaction, and will now allow me to repair my home and feel whole again after being ravaged by hurricane Laura. I particularly appreciated that Ms. Talley always made me feel like I was in the driver's seat, explaining the landscape, the options, the considerations without ever marking me feel pressured. She was always responsive with a quick call back, when she couldn't take my call. It was great to experience that level of real cooperative concern as we worked together as a team. Once again, it is a daunting decision to pursue legal action, never knowing where it might go while feeling like a pawn in an unfamiliar game, however, when I think of the alternative of not pursuing legal representation, I know without a doubt that I made the right choice, with the right team. I can fix my house now. What more needs to be said?

I had a fantastic experience with Montiel Hodge. They were extremely professional and upfront from beginning to end of the process. They fought for my claim to get settled and we won. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Lawson and the Montiel Hodge team are awesome. They are very professional, great communications and took care of my case.

Professional and timely communications.

I was so scared, concerned and three states away from my sister in a nursing home. I was afraid a family member was not taking good care of her. My husband and I reached out to Gary Brown and began a relationship that took care of my sister’s situation. He was so professional yet understanding to me, even when my emotional state was frantic at times. I cannot thank him enough for his availability and communication with me during a truly difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful.

This team took excellent care of us for a storm claim our insurance company was stubbornly denying. Thanks for the strong work!

My family and I received excellent customer services, continuous communication and swift results. We are so very grateful to the Montiel Hodge team and would highly recommend them .

Robert Weimer IV helped me with a legal matter. I would highly recommend him and use him again in the future if needed. His services were very reasonable in cost as well. I live in Texas and would recommend him to anyone that I know here or in Louisiana that needs a competent attorney.
