I'm a construction lawyer defending clients in construction defect, design and professional liability, and third-party injury claims. I also handle general liability matters for local restaurants and department stores which include well-known regional restaurant chains with Louisiana locations, the nation's largest broad-line closeout retailer and one of the largest food retailers in America.

I  graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Business Management with a concentration in Entrepreneurship from Louisiana State University. While attending LSU, I received an Academic Excellence Award in Entrepreneurship and was honored into the Rucks Fellowship by the E.J. Ourso Business College. Upon graduation, I attended and received my Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans, School of Law.. I am licensed to practice law in the State of Louisiana. In 2014, I established John Love Norris, IV LLC, a law firm helping those in need of civil and criminal litigation. I am highly-involved in the community, providing legal services for Loyola's Homeless Outreach Program.  I also provide free notary services at Rosa F. Keller Library in New Orleans Louisiana.. I am an Application Developer having took part in the creation of the Multiple Bill Calculator, an application that provides sentencing calculations for those who are multiple offenders, and GoodTime Calculator, an application that determines the diminution of a sentence according to Louisiana's law.. For my work I have been recognized for my creations on several websites and have been published in Louisiana State Bar Journal February/March 2014 edition for my article "Creating Apps for the Legal Gap".

I worked in a large New Orleans firm for 18 years handling complex commercial litigation cases (think: LOTS of paper). Eventually, soaring overhead, crazy billable hours, and mindless bureaucracy left me completely burned out.. But then I discovered how to become paperless, which enabled me to automate key workflows (instead of begging people to do the work and then stay on top of them to make sure they did it right). My low-cost website attracted a steady flow of clients, which made my solo practice financially successful as well.. Now, I help other lawyers who want to modernize their practices to work less yet earn more (plus spend more time away from the office relaxing!). I give them a strategic blueprint for leveraging technology that explains everything in bite-sized chunks. And I provide ongoing guidance so that they can keep streamlining their practices week-by-week.

I was born in Washington, D.C. in 1969, moved to New Orleans in 1986, and never left. I received my B.A. from Tulane University in 1991 and my J.D. from Tulane University School of Law in 1994. While in law school, I participated in the Civil Litigation Clinical Program and Inn of Court and was a Fellowship Recipient of the Public Interest Law Foundation in 1992.. Since graduating from law school, I have gained extensive experience in a wide range of litigation matters while working for two boutique litigation firms and a full-service firm in New Orleans. I litigate matters in both federal and state courts in Louisiana and across the nation and have participated in numerous mediations and arbitrations during my career.  Although my practice focuses on civil and commercial litigation, I have significant experience in handling a variety of issues such as property rights, contract disputes, property damage, condominium developers and associations, environmental contamination, wrongful death, succession disputes, insurance claims, expropriation/eminent domain, and securities law, among others.  My practice involves both plaintiff and defense work.. I am a past member of the House of Delegates of the Louisiana State Bar Association and am a frequent lecturer for the National Business Institute.

I was born here in New Orleans, I attended McDonogh#35, Dillard University, and Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge. My practice areas are Personal Injury/Automobile Accidents, DUI/DWI, and Traffic Offense, basically anything dealing with you and your vehicle..

I strongly believe in providing quality yet affordable legal services to my clients.  In my 27 years of experience practicing law in federal and state court, I have found that hard work, a solid plan, and effective communication with clients are critically important in achieving excellent results.. My practice is divided into two areas:  Ciminal defense and general civil practice.  On the criminal defense side, I represent individuals in a wide variety of cases in both federal and state court.  Most of the cases I accept are those with charges that are not considered crimes of violence.. My general civil practice focuses on represnting small corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships with all of their legal needs.  These areas include business formation, contract negotiations, drafting and reviewing contracts, leases, insurance issues, civil litigation of all kinds, including unfair trade practice cases, trademark and copyright matters, and collections.

I started my legal career in 2014 at Acadiana Legal Services Corporation in Lafayette, Louisiana, representing foster children who were placed in Louisiana’s “Child in Need of Care” court program due abusive or neglectful situations at home. I consider it one of the hardest but most rewarding experiences of my life. Every single one of these resilient children impacted me and I consider myself honored to have been able to be a voice for each one of them. This experience also gave me immediate exposure in the courtroom in sixteen juvenile courts across South Louisiana.. Loving the courtroom experience and always wanting to be a litigator, I moved back to New Orleans and on to a clerkship at the 24th Judicial District Court in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, where I spent just over three years serving as law clerk for Judges John J. Molaison, Jr., and Frank A. Brindisi. I gained invaluable experience learning how the best trial attorneys write, argue a case, select a jury panel, and prepare a case for trial.. As a current trial attorney at Scott Vicknair, LLC, I have used those experiences in Court to develop my trial skills. I have learned along the way that giving each case time and attention to detail is crucial to its success, and I work hard to ensure each case I handle gets the time and attention it deserves. I also believe that being personally accessible to my clients is important and will always be available for questions and updates.. In my practice, I primarily represent individuals who have suffered personal injuries due to car and trucking collisions, individuals who have experienced damage to their home or land and cannot resolve the claim with their insurance company, and wrongful death claims. I have also handled employment law and wage disputes and have successfully litigated breach of contract claims and real estate disputes. I truly enjoy engaging with a jury and navigating the judicial system, and I am grateful when clients trust me with the issues that matter most to them.. Initially from Lafayette, I attended college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where I graduated magna cum laude in business administration in 2011. I then moved to New Orleans where I earned my juris doctor from the University of Loyola College of Law in 2014. I am admitted to practice law before all state and federal courts in Louisiana. I am a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association, the Jefferson Bar Association, and the St. Thomas Moore Inn of Court..

I practice in Deutsch Kerrigan’s Maritime department resolving marine and energy disputes for my clients.

I love what I do for a living and I think it comes through in my practice. Since finishing my clerkships, I have represented plaintiffs in complex litigation and have never wanted to do anything else. I have litigated antitrust cases, environmental pollution cases, Jones Act cases, pharmaceutical injury cases, consumer class actions, and mass tort cases around the United States. Many of my cases are referred from co-counsel that I have worked with before which I like to think is a reflection of the results our team was able to achieve for the clients. In 2015, I co-founded Burns Charest with two of my classmates from law school and have continued to represent plaintiffs against some of the largest companies in the world.

I learned early on that as a lawyer, I could change people’s lives for the better.A few years ago, I had a client who worked for one company as a tankerman for 20 years. He was ordered into a crawlhole during a storm to check the radar, and as he was getting out, the boat hit a swell. He was thrown backwards and ended up with a spine injury.. He went from being the main provider for his family to borrowing money to get a Coke and sleeping on people’s sofas.. The day of the trial, the company offered us $100,000.. The jury came back with the verdict of $1.6 million in favor of my client. He hugged me and started crying. His family cheered.. I looked over at the defense lawyer and had an epiphany: His clients never hug him. Win or lose, they would have just argued about his bill.. That’s why I never doubt that I’m on the right side of justice.. When I take on a client, I dive head-first into their world.I want to know what it was like to be there during their injury… What it felt like, what it sounded like, what it smelled like. I want to know what was happening through their eyes.. I deep dive into what their life was like before their injury, and what it’s been like since.. As their attorney and advocate, it’s my job to absorb their story and be in touch with my client emotionally—not only so that they know I’m truly on their side, but also to effectively present this story to a jury of their peers.. Telling that story together... that’s how we win.. Maritime is a very distinct area of law, unlike any other.And not every lawyer understands the ins and outs of these types of cases.I do.
