Not all lawyers enjoy practice.. To stand in a courtroom and argue to a judge or a jury makes many nervous.. Kara Samuels is unique in that regard. She loves to practice and knows that each of her clients has a unique story to tell.. Though originally from St. Louis, she fell in love with New Orleans when attending Loyola University. Majoring in Drama and Speech, she learned the art of storytelling and effective communication . This is probably best evidenced by the firm’s track record before the courts of appeal. In fact, Kara was recently given an award by the Louisiana Association for Justice for having won 4 cases before the Louisiana Supreme Court in one year.. She earned her law degree from Loyola University, graduating as a William L. Crowe, Sr. Scholar and as a Law Review student. Her passion for helping individual people seek  justice led her to pursue personal injury law as a trial lawyer..
