About J. Price

I BEGAN practice as an insurance company attorney defending AGAINST personal injury and wrongful death accidents, from automobile and truck and eighteen wheeler accidents to offshore, maritime and Jones Act accidents. After leaving the insurance defense practice to serve as a louisian felony prosecutor for a few years, I founded McNamara Law Offices to fight against the insurers for injured and disabled accident victims, and families who lose loved ones to accidental wrongful death. That is now my passion. I get great satisfaction using the methods of insurance companies I learned in my early years of practice AGAINST them in favor of my individual clients.

    Quick advise and friendly staff

    Posted by

    Needed some advice on contract terminology when leaving my company on disability. Contract needed signing asap. Price and his staff looked over contract and responded in a timely matter.

    A big thanks to Mr. McNamara...

    Price did a great job with my disability claim case. It had been denied (unfairly and incorrectly, in my opinion) and I couldn't find an attorney that understood or wanted my case. Finally, I found Price by searching the internet for an attorney that specialized in disability claims that had been denied. Price handled my case well and in the end, we reached a fair settlement with the insurance company. I have dealt with a number of attorneys and been in court many times over the years (I'm sorry to say), but I'm happy to say that Price was the solution that I was looking for and he did a superb job. He certainly fills an important niche in this specialized area and I am happy to recommend him if you are in need.

    Price is very professional, honest, and reliable. Whatever he says, he will follow through with the utmost integrity. He will turn over every stone and pays close attention to even the smallest detail. I'm glad I secured his services.

    Without going into the painful details regarding the reason for having to hiring Price. His compassion and communication helped my family during an extremely difficult time. If you need legal help because you or a family member was injured by something or someone else, don't hesitate to call him.

    I am an attorney. Price represented me, and in a separate suit represented my daughter, for injuries. he moved the cases at lightening speed and obtained maximum recovery. I was grateful and surprised. I would recommend Price to anyone who wants a top notch attorney who gets results.

    Highly Recommended

    Posted by

    I would recommmed Mr. Mcnanmara to anyone at any time. He was the best attorney that my family and I came in contact with. About three years we had a very tragic, accidental death in our family and the company knew that it was there fault but of course tried passing the bulk. Mr Price was very informitive with us and also very prompt on returning all of our phone calls. He also meet with us anytime that we were uneased about what was going on. Mr. Mcnamara made my family and I feel like we were his family and that our case and satifiatiction was important. To sum it all up, he went that extra mile and all his hardwork and dedictaion was much apprecitated.

    McNamara is professional and knowledgable

    Posted by

    I needed an attorney with a specific specialty and Price McNamara was definitely the right choice. His representation was based on principles that are probably unsurpassed by any other attorney in the field. McNamara represents individuals, not big-money corporations, like so many others in his field of specialty. He is a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable and experienced and he won my case with ease much sooner than expected.

    Price is a fantastic lawyer. He is experienced, smart, persistent and professional. An excellent choice if you need an experienced injury attorney.

    Jeffrey Dover, Personal injury Attorney on May 12, 2011
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I've met and interacted with Mr. McNamara at national events designed to help attorneys understand the best ways to communicate with their clients and convey information that helps educate the general public. In fact, he has written (and made available for free) two terrific resources to help Louisiana injury victims: One is a book on how to choose the right attorney (and avoid the bad ones), and the other is a book that outlines the key mistakes to avoid if you have a personal injury claim. I have found Mr. McNamara to have a keen understanding of personal injury law and recommend that any accident or injury victims in Baton Rouge and throughout Louisiana seek his help if they have a potential claim.
