Five Decades of Service to Monroe, LA

When we first opened our doors, Monroe looked a lot different from what it does today. We've watched this city grow from a regional hub to the vibrant community it is now. Through every transformation, our commitment has remained the same: protecting injured people when they need it most.

Our personal injury attorneys in Monroe know Ouachita Parish inside and out and have earned the respect of judges throughout Northeast Louisiana. While those national firms advertising on TV treat their clients like case numbers, we treat you like family.

Comprehensive Legal Support for Every Type of Injury Case in Monroe

Accidents strike without warning, affecting families across all walks of life. Our skilled personal injury attorneys in Monroe handle each case with the same fierce commitment, whether it's a minor traffic collision or a catastrophic injury that changes everything.

  • Car Accidents

    Monroe's busy intersections and highways create daily hazards for drivers. From DeSiard Street to Louisville Avenue, crashes happen fast and can leave victims dealing with injuries, vehicle damage, and predatory insurance tactics.

    Our experienced car accident attorneys investigate every key detail to build cases that hold negligent drivers accountable.

  • Truck Accidents

    The constant flow of commercial vehicles through Monroe on I-20 poses serious risks. When massive trucks collide with passenger vehicles, the results are often devastating.

    Our truck accident lawyers understand federal trucking regulations, know how to preserve electronic logging data, and aren't intimidated by corporate legal teams. We fight to ensure that trucking companies and their insurers pay for the harm they cause.

  • Motorcycle Accidents

    Northeast Louisiana's roads attract motorcyclists from all over the country. Unfortunately, not all drivers watch out for riders.
