38 years in a litigation practice that currently entails almost exclusively defense of oil related companies in high profile property contaminaiton lawsuits ("legacy lawsuits" as they are known in Louisiana).  Been with the same lawfirm the entire time.  Vice-President of the law firm, but would prefer to be in the court room as opposed ot the board room.. Martindale Hubbell AV rated.  Acadiana Profile Best Lawyers of 2016 in two catagories: Environmental Law and Appellate Practice.. Litigation goal is to get the client out of the litigaiton as reasonably and quickly as possible.  Trials generally benefit two classes of people:  plaintiff lawyers and defense lawyers.  If we look upon the lawsuit as a business expense as opposed to a perosnal affront the results are usually more palatable.  Sometimes, reason goes out the window and then you try the case.. In addiiton to contamination cases, I enjoy the appellate practice very much.  If the case demands it, it can be of great assistence to have oyur appellate counsel at trial preparing the record for errors that may save the case on appeal.  90% of your appeal is won at the trial level..
