Overview
For more than two decades, Damany has represented clients in high-stakes personal injury and business litigation cases. He started his legal career working as a law clerk for a federal judge in New Orleans. He then joined one of the country's largest law firms, where he spent years defending personal injury, product liability and commercial litigation cases for corporate defendants.

In February 2017, Damany started The Ransom Firm to provide top-notch legal representation to accident victims and their families. He now takes on the big corporations and insurance companies. His experience as a law clerk and as a defense attorney sets him apart from many plaintiff's attorneys.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
