Jeffrey Paul Berniard's Lawyer Endorsements
"As an attorney, I have known and worked with Jeff Berniard for nearly fifteen years. In that time, he's proven to be one of the best trial attorneys in the city of New Orleans. After Katrina I witnessed how he worked tirelessly to obtain justice for so many clients who were being deceived and dragged through the system by the insurance companies. Jeff was aggressive and kept at those companies who made a lot of promises when they received premiums but then reneged when it came time to pay the claims. Since then I've witnessed how he represents those who, through no fault of their own, been physically and emotionally hurt. He is compassionate for his clients and always works to obtain the justice they are owed by law. I highly recommend Jeff Berniard to anyone who is looking for help and who needs legal representation."
"I've known Jeff Berniard for over 15 years. He is hardworking, dedicated to his clients and is knowledgeable and always aware of the changes in the law. Jeff Berniard is the first person I call when I'm stuck on an issue while representing plaintiffs and he always has an answer."
"I endorse Jeffrey. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I have known Jeff personally and professionally for more than 12 years. Jeff has dedicated himself to holding those individuals and companies accountable for the harm caused to his clients. Following Hurricane Katrina, Jeff helped restore the lives of his clients by holding their homeowners insurance providers accountable for the damage to their homes. I wholeheartedly endorse Jeff as an attorney and I look forward to working with him again in the future."
"Jeff has distinguished himself as one of the top young plaintiff lawyers in the greater New Orleans area. He hit the ground running on major class action and insurance claim work for both Katrina and the BP oil spill and continues to grow in many areas of insurance law."
