Chapter 11 Trustee of Cajun Electric Power Cooperative

John acted as a chief litigator for me in the federal courts of Louisiana. He was very effective. He was well prepared. He gave me sound advice. He was easy to work with and a man of good will.

The matter whent into court ordered Mediation. We set a goal when we went in and we left with that goal in hand. John was completely up to speed on all aspects of a complicated case. Excellent speaking and negotiation skills. Excellent litagator.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
