Law Firm Overview

Baton Rouge Trial Law Firm

In today's legal environment, most lawyers do not have the opportunity to try cases. In fact, there is a dwindling percentage of lawyers who have more than 10 jury trials under their belt. One of the things that distinguishes our firm from most other law firms is our ability to try cases to successful results. Collectively, the lawyers at our firm have tried more than 1000 cases, a level of experience that is rare in today's legal world.

Perry, Atkinson, Balhoff, Mengis & Burns, LLC was formed in 1994 by  Daniel Atkinson  and Daniel Atkinson, Jr. , who split off from a larger firm that had been practicing law in Baton Rouge since the 1960s. John W. Perry, Jr. and  Daniel J. Balhoff , both partners in the predecessor firm, later joined the firm as named partners, along with Joseph Mengis and  Robert J. Burns, Jr .

Our lawyers are known for their ability to handle simple cases in an effective and efficient manner, as well as complex cases where millions of dollars are at stake in the outcome. Our reputation as litigators has also enabled us to develop a thriving mediation and arbitration practice.
