Insurance Dispute Attorneys in Louisiana
We Force Insurance Companies to Keep Their Promises
You paid your premiums on time. You trusted that if disaster struck, your insurance company would be there to help you rebuild. Unfortunately, the reality is often very different.
Since founding the Berniard Law Firm more than a decade ago, Jeffrey Berniard has built a proven track record of getting clients maximum results with minimum exclusions. We know that insurance companies often prioritize profits over policyholders, using complex language and bureaucratic delays to minimize payouts.
We are here to level the playing field. Recognized as one of New Orleans’ top insurance dispute firms, we have the experience and the “force to be reckoned with” reputation necessary to get insurers to pay what they owe.
Litigation Experience Matters
Many firms try to settle every case quickly to avoid the courtroom. We are different.
While we always aim to resolve disputes efficiently, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. Insurance litigation can be costly and complex, but Jeffrey Berniard’s extensive litigation experience allows him to navigate this process with finesse.
Because insurance companies know we are willing and able to take them to court, we are often able to secure better settlements for our clients without ever stepping foot before a judge. Whether it involves a lapse in coverage dispute or a bad faith claim, we leverage our courtroom expertise to fight for your rights.
