Defending the Gulf Coast

Founded and based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Berniard Law Firm has consistently worked to defend the rights of Gulf Coast residents. With extensive experience in issues facing the people of Louisiana and Texas, our firm represents a personal, one-to-one legal approach that treats clients as people, not numbers.

Awarding-Winning Representation

Jeffrey Berniard has been recognized by Super Lawyers for 14 consecutive years (2012–2026), a testament to his unwavering commitment to professional achievement and peer recognition in Louisiana. Holding the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent® Rating—the highest possible standard for legal knowledge and ethics—Jeff’s reputation for excellence is backed by both his peers and the results he delivers. Whether being interviewed on Fox Business News by Neil Cavuto or cited by the Associated Press and The National Law Journal, Jeff is a trusted national voice in high-stakes class actions and complex litigation.

Protecting Gulf Coast Residents​

Dating back to the destruction of homes and businesses in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Berniard Law Firm has consistently worked to ensure the good people of the region receive the justice they deserve. Whether in insurance claims, property damage, government failures and more, the Berniard Law Firm has consistently taken on “the big guys” and won.

Fighting for You in Complex Class Actions

Unfortunately, the Gulf Coast’s needs have extended into other areas. The Berniard Law Firm has taken its uncompromising focus on providing legal assistance to those who need it the most into other fields of law as a result. After decades of lies surrounding the danger of asbestos, Gulf Coast residents stricken with mesothelioma have become a class of individuals that truly need every ounce of assistance we strive to provide. When unfair business practices have been put upon the public, we have stepped up. And when environmental danger struck in the form of gas leaks and the infamous Deepwater Horizon crisis, we stepped up.

Our Commitment to the Community

The Berniard Law Firm is deeply rooted into the Gulf Coast community as its members are all born and raised within this region. Our law firm’s members fish in these waters, hunt in the forest and play on the beaches. Our clients are our friends and neighbors who also love this area. We will always strive to ensure that we serve their needs for the continued success of all the persons of the Gulf Coast.

The Berniard Law Firm takes pride in its role as a critical partner in the recovery efforts taking place in the Gulf Coast, Louisiana and beyond. If you are in need of legal assistance that takes into account who you are and not just what you suffered, contact the Berniard Law Firm today.
