How We Rebuilt After Hurricane Katrina
Our law office has been in New Orleans since 1977, and we have no intention of leaving. Even though the building was flooded with four feet of water during Katrina, the ceiling collapsed and the remaining structure filled with toxic black mold, we continue our dedication to this city. Our new office location is in Metairie, adjacent to New Orleans, and the closest, safest location we could reasonably find.
Our clients have never been more important to us and we recognize that they have never needed us more. We have handled many bad faith insurance litigation claims for our clients who have suffered property damages due to Hurricane Katrina, and then their property insurers did not pay said claims timely. We have learned that it is clients — not computers or law books — that truly make a law firm. As long as the citizens of New Orleans continue to return and rebuild, we will be here.
