Highly Recommend This Expert Legal Team

We had no previous experience with lawyers, but felt we needed to pursue legal action. We were referred to Gautreaux Law by another lawyer. We shared our story with Jerome and his team. From the time we first walked through their door, until our final settlement meeting we always felt like more th...an just a client, they made us feel welcome as if we were important like family. We knew going in that our case was going to be a tough case, but they never let us loose hope, their team fought our case with dedication and confidence. His team kept us informed throughout the process, and the outcome was more than we expected. If you need an expert legal team, we highly recommend Gautreaux Law for your legal needs.

Satisfied Client

I went to Gautreaux Law Firm not knowing what to expect and I can honestly say that I am very pleased with my end result. Attorney Gautreaux was very upfront with what to expect throughout the entire case. He as well as the entire staff kept me informed the entire time. I really appreciate the effort... and I am so happy with my outcome.

Malpractice suite

Jarome and his staff represented us in a medical malpractice suite. They treated us like family and were willing to help us any way possible. Jarome was very professional and thorough investigating our case. He made sure we were informed all through the process. Jarome was well prepared and very prof...essional in his presentation to the jury at the trial. The jury was impressed by his presentation of our case and awarded us $500,000. We will always remember how Jarome and his staff treated us friendship and care.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
