Our firm has litigators who are licensed to practice in Louisiana’s state and federal courts, and in Texas and Mississippi and other jurisdictions as well. Effective advocacy requires more than just courtroom skill, although such skill is indisputably necessary. Every good law firm knows how to try a lawsuit; the best ones know how to avoid litigation, or if it is unavoidable, how to manage it to a successful conclusion, minimizing the overall cost to the client.
