Christy is the Best!

I was unsure about hiring an attorney for my disability case. But after working with Christy, I do not regret it. She has been kind, patient, and on top of everything. She fought hard for me in a way no one in my life has ever done for me. The way Christy prepped me for my hearing helped me to overco...me my fear of sharing details of my life that I normally keep secret. I appreciate her so much! Christy is deserving of 5+ stars. Thank you Christy!

Best Law Office Around

From the very moment I called Loyd and his team I felt at ease. They were extremely easy to get in contact with and set up an initial appointment as soon as they could. When I got to their office I was treated with respect and empathy by everyone I came into contact with. Once I met Loyd, his calm de...meanor and compassion put me at east. Loyd and his team are knowledgeable and made me feel, from the very first day, that I would be in the right hands when it came to my case. Each time I called the office or had an appointment with Loyd, or a team member, I felt that I was their only client and priority—knowing very well that he probably had a multitude of other tasks to complete and clients to take care of. Whenever any new developments arrived, Loyd and his team kept me informed immediately whether through phone calls or emails. Whenever I had any questions they were answered promptly and in language I could understand—not legal talk. Loyd completely prepared me for all aspects of my case regarding the day of the accident, medical care, police reports, vehicle repair, doctor visits, deposition, and settlement to name a few. When preparing for the deposition I was extremely nervous having never gone through that before. Loyd thoroughly prepared me for what to expect. He was honest from the beginning and I trusted him. I felt that I had a friend with me, and next to me, that would truly defend me and back me up if I needed him to. Everyone in the office is very friendly, kind, and helpful. Loyd and his team are truly compassionate for what I was going through and they have set the bar extremely high for what a law office is capable of. My expectations were completely exceeded far beyond what I thought his office would do. I wholeheartedly cannot recommend them enough or thank them for what they have done for me. You will never regret choosing Loyd and his team.

Ms.

Sending many Thanks to Loyd J. Bourgeois Jr. and his staff, especially Christy Crotwell, for all the support & help with my case. On the really bad days, I never felt alone & they always supported me with an open Heart & Mind while never offering me FALSE HOPE. These were very important attributes ...I desired in my search for representation. They always used encouraging words and remained optismistic that help was on the way. They prompted me when necessary to keep me on task and never missed any requested dates or times when information was requested. If you need representation I absolutely recommend the office of Loyd J Bourgeois Jr & Staff.

One of our core values is to compassionately make a difference every day. Our clients come to us usually at difficult moments in their life – they are sick and can no longer work; they were hurt in a crash and don’t know how to get or pay for medical treatment; their marriage has fallen apart and their emotions are a roller coaster – they look to us for help and we are there to provide it with compassion. Good legal help can be found in many places – but we try to separate ourselves by listening, communicating, and providing compassion. We appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us and thank you for entrusting us with your case.

MS LOREN L. LICCIARDI Testimony

I just wanted to say that I've been working with Mr. Loyd J. Bourgeois, Christy Crotwell and Sharon over at Loyd J Bourgeois disability office for a little over a year and a half. I started this journey on my own on December 2014 and was denied. One day as I was sitting in my pain management doctors ...office a lady and I were talking about my illness and if I had ever thought of seeking a disability lawyers help I said no It never crossed my mind. Well this very nice lady never met her before handed me her card and I couldn't have made a greater decision. The work diligently time sensitively and they make sure that your aware of everything and anything going on with your case. I cannot say enough about these three people. They treat you like family, and don't let the young faces fool you and make you think that they don't know anything about what they are doing. Loyd is the person you want as your wingman on anything with your case. Christy I couldn't say enough about you this woman stayed long hours just to wait for my call to be returned running late to pick up her kids or to go be with her family she made sacrifices for me a stranger that she had never met till the day of my hearing. So for that I am so very thankful. I don't drive and Loyd came to me moved appointments to another day just so he could ride out to my house for our first initial visit. So if you don't call that dedication and someone that doesn't know you from adam do what they can for your just to make your life less stressful then I don't know what to tell you. He is someone you want on your side he explains things very well doesn't leave anything important out makes sure that your doing what your supposed to do as far as keeping up with your drs appts and so on etc. etc. , but I would say all in a nut shell they won my case and I couldn't be more proud of the job they did at times I got discouraged but Christy would talk to me as if I were family or a friend not a client and that meant the world to me. So please don't hesitate to give them a try I went with my gut instinct and it was right they won my case and weren't sloppy about the way they ran a business so to you Loyd Christy & Sharon I love yall from the bottom of my heart I cannot thank yall enough and I am so very happy that I chose you as my lawyers to have my back.
