New Orleans Business Litigation Law Firm

Overview

Smith & Fawer was originally founded on January 2, 1995 to concentrate on complex litigation matters in diverse areas of law. Now, over 15 years later, Smith & Fawer has established itself as a successful litigation boutique firm with offices in downtown New Orleans and Jackson, Mississippi. The firm presses an active trial and appellate caseload into the federal and state courts locally, regionally and nationally.

The attorneys at Smith & Fawer bring significant experience and substantial aggression to the resolution of their clients' problems. Randy Smith & Mike Fawer have a combined seventy-five (75) years of experience in commercial litigation, property and insurance litigation, eminent domain litigation and white collar criminal defense law. They have brought together a group of talented, creative and intellectual counsel who complement their experience in these areas. The firm is known for not being afraid to take cases to trial, and thus its opponents know they are in for a fight when going against them.

The firm's commitment to excellence and its zealousness in the representation of its clients have led those it represents to seek it out continually and to recommend it to others when they have problems they cannot solve. Within all legal and ethical bounds, the firm "holds nothing back" in representing its clients' interests.

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.
