Community Leadership
Not only are we dedicated attorneys, but we're also citizens committed to improving the communities in which we work. We've been named the New Orleans Pro Bono Firm of the Year for our program mandating 20 hours of pro bono work per year from each of our attorneys. Additionally, our attorneys and staff serve countless non-profits and charities and hold leadership roles with bar associations, charter schools, and civic and religious groups. We're not only determined to assist in the revitalization of our home-base of New Orleans, but our attorneys and staff consistently "walk the walk" of service to all of our respective communities and neighborhoods.
