Wendy Manard

When I became a lawyer, I vowed to use my law degree to serve others. It is so fulfilling helping my clients rebuild their lives. After all, I feel that life is best lived if it is spent helping others.

If we have not already met, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wendy Manard. I am a native of New Orleans and a personal injury lawyer with a law firm based in the New Orleans area and Southern California. I proudly hold bar memberships in both Louisiana and California. After double-majoring and earning my B.S. from the University of California in Santa Barbara, where I ran cross-country and track, I ultimately returned to Louisiana.

Before practicing law, I worked as a special education public school teacher—a role that fueled my passion for advocacy. I ultimately followed in my father’s footsteps, obtaining my J.D. from Tulane Law School. I began my legal career fighting for abused children who were under the protection of Child Protective Services, and over the past twenty years, I’ve focused on representing both adults and kids injured through no fault of their own.

What I Stand For

I’m a mother, advocate, and relentless champion for justice. My mission is to help injured people become whole again. I’ve secured multiple multi‑million‑dollar settlements and verdicts for clients while I continue to do meaningful pro bono work for vulnerable children and the community!
