Law Firm Overview

Leger & Shaw was founded in 1979 with the simple premise that hard work, dedication, and an uncompromising belief in our client's causes will result in success. Since that time, we have provided a broad range of legal services to individuals and business clients, principally in Louisiana and the Gulf South.

We are a general service law firm with particular concentration in the areas of admiralty and maritime law, personal injury-plaintiff, products liability, toxic torts, and professional malpractice law.

The attorneys in our firm possess high academic credentials, maintain strong community ties, are committed to the pursuit of excellence, communicate effectively, and demonstrate the highest personal and professional ethics.

We utilize state-of-the-art technology and cost-effective management tools to provide legal services in a timely, client-oriented manner. Our approach to the practice of law centers around each client's individual needs and goals, and we are committed to minimizing and eliminating risk by advising clients of significant changes in the law.

Our dedication to quality, understanding of the law, trust, and respect are the foundation for our long-standing relationships with clients and the community.

Headquartered in New Orleans, our accident injury attorneys at Leger & Shaw represent clients throughout Louisiana and the Gulf Coast including the cities of New Orleans, Covington, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, Alexandria, Houma, and Monroe. Our personal injury lawyers also represent clients throughout the Louisiana parishes of New Orleans, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Jefferson, East Baton Rouge, and Ouachita.
