Casey C. DeReus is the founder and owner of DeReus Law, LLC, a law firm on Jefferson Highway in Jefferson, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans. She represents people in personal injury, storm and property insurance claims, consumer protection and product defect cases, and privacy and data matters, including class actions.
Casey moved to New Orleans in 2010 and made it home. She earned an M.A. in French Studies from Tulane University, then a J.D., magna cum laude, from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where she served as Managing Print Editor of the Loyola Law Review.
She began her career as a disaster lawyer, representing policyholders in more than 1,000 first-party property insurance claims. Her personal injury work includes motor vehicle crashes, including those involving rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, and negligent security cases involving third-party criminal acts. Other attorneys also bring her in on matters that call for intensive briefing.
Casey's consumer and privacy work includes class action litigation against TikTok under Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"). Casey identified and initiated the first class action against TikTok for BIPA violations—a case that was ultimately consolidated in an MDL and settled for $92 million.*
Casey speaks French and offers consultations in English and French. Meetings are by appointment at her Jefferson office, by phone or video, or, for clients in the New Orleans area, at home or another convenient place.

"Casey is an intelligent, hard-working, and professional advocate. I have worked with her on a case, and attended her CLE events. She really loves what she does and you can tell through her work ethic and work product. I endorse her without reservation."
"Casey and I were on opposite ends of the table on a major trucking casualty. Not only did she zealously advocate for her clients, but she also maintained professionalism and cordiality. Outside of that case, Casey is an outstanding attorney, both for her legal acumen and contributions to the Louisiana Bar."
"Casey is a compassionate attorney in our community, held in high regards by her peers. She has a reputation for being hardworking, accomplished, and invested in the outcomes of her cases for her clients. Not only does she rigorously advocate for her clients, she also spends time volunteering to make the legal system better and more accessible for those that can't always reach it. When you hire Casey, you're getting the best of the best."

"Smart, Ethical, Efficient. Casey gets results. Casey DeReus is very thorough. She never stops working and she presents every option when approaching case resolution. Ms. DeReus is constantly thinking about legal strategy far in advance and knows how each step taken now will affect another option down the line. She is also extremely inquisitive and constantly looking for better ways to provide service. She helps people who face new issues in the market— such as with ride sharing apps— and seeks to work within her networks to find resources and solutions. Ms. DeReus practices with respect and is polite to others while being a fierce advocate and firm when she is negotiating. Her peers like and respect her. When she answers a question I have, I know that the answer she is giving me is the best answer. Her rigorous legal writing examines every legal issue meticulously.
