Onebane Law Firm

Law Firm Overview

The Onebane Law Firm was founded in 1977 upon the same principles which Joseph Onebane, one of its key founders, built his successful law practice of more than 30 years. A civic leader and gentleman, Joe Onebane epitomized the old-fashioned values and professional work ethics of honesty, fairness, keen loyalty, and a commitment to provide competent legal counsel to his clients- the reputable business practices which are cornerstones of integrity. Today, those same professional principles are collectively embraced and practiced by the attorneys and support staff of the Onebane Law Firm.

As members of one of south Louisiana's largest full-service regional law firms, the Onebane attorneys strive to offer individual, small business, and corporate clients comprehensive, proactive legal representation.

A wide array of services, ranging from personal and business advice and planning to litigation and dispute resolution, are offered to assist clients in achieving their personal and business goals.

The Onebane firm primarily maintains a civil practice, including extensive transactional, trial, and appellate experience with major emphasis in the following law areas: Admiralty and Maritime; Business and Commercial; Environmental; Estate Planning, Probate, and Taxation; General Casualty and Insurance; Health Care; Intellectual Property; Labor and Employment; Oil and Gas; Governmental Relations; White Collar Crime; and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
