“Gauthier and Amedee is nationally recognized
for their professionalism in the pursuit of justice and their undying
empathy and love for their clients."

Gauthier & Amedee's courtroom victories have garnered national attention. The American Association for Justice has recognized them in an unprecedented way.  In fact, the *AAJ has spotlighted Gauthier & Amedee three (3) times.


Why has the AAJ focused on G & A?
The answer is simple:  No other law firm in the State of Louisiana has ever achieved this accomplishment.

Andre Gauthier says "Gauthier & Amedee fights for those who have a reason to fight, and we fight hard!"

* The AAJ is the largest trial bar in the world, having an international membership of more than 56,000 lawyers. Each month the AAJ publishes the Law Reporter and  selects to spotlight only one case out of the thousands of cases tried across America every month. Louisiana action lawyers, Gauthier & Amedee, have been selected and spotlighted three times for their jury trial results.   Gauthier & Amedee is the only law firm in the State of Louisiana to achieve this unprecedented accomplishment.

Ask yourself, "What law firm will put MY needs in front of the insurance corporations profits?"
_________________________________________________________ 

Can Gauthier & Amedee make the insurance corporation pay?  If your attorney only prepares your case for settlement, not trial, and the insurance makes you a ridiculously low offer, then you are in trouble.  When Gauthier & Amedee takes a case, we fully prepare to fight in court.  We are action lawyers who thrive in the court room as respected trial lawyers. We work hard for every case we take.    If the insurance corporation treats you unfairly, then Gauthier & Amedee will be ready to take them to trial.  If we can force the insurance corporation to fairly compensate you;  that’s great!  Thats what the law tells them to do.  But if they are non-responsive to our demands, rest assured that Gauthier & Amedee is prepared to fight them in court.

Why is Gauthier & Amedee so successful? We are very selective with the cases we take.  Once we take a case, preparation is the key. We stay on full alert, fully focused, on every case.  Andre Gauthier likes to say. "It’s like going to war."  Do you want your army prepared for battle? Or, do you want your army lazily thinking the dispute with Russia or Iraq is going to just settle? No!  You want your army preparing for battle, not settlement.  Fighting the insurance industry is war.  So, call the action lawyers, Gauthier & Amedee.  Let Gauthier & Amedee be your army for justice.  If the settlement fails, Gauthier & Amedee has a track record of going to trial, and they fight hard.   

Why not just go for the “big settlement”? Insurance companies are NOT generous. Although we want your case to settle, we don’t want you to settle for pennies on the dollar. If your case is worth a dollar, then the insurance company should pay a dollar, not 50 cents. That’s what Gauthier & Amedee is about:  action lawyers taking immediate action to see that the insurance corporation pays every single dollar and not a penny less.

How will I pay Gauthier & Amedee?  You only pay us from the monetary recovery we obtain for you.  That's called a "contingency fee."  If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing

Why can’t I just settle outside of court?  You can, if you are happy with the settlement.  But who do you think can get you a better settlement?  A "settlement" lawyer or a real trial lawyer, a lawyer the insurance company knows will go to trial if need be?  As personal injury action lawyers, Gauthier & Amedee is always ready, always prepared, and always alert.  If the insurance corporation wants to piddle with your family, we are prepared to take them to court.   

How does Gauthier & Amedee handle the powerful?  We do not back down.  Period.  Gauthier & Amedee has litigated cases against powerful forces, such as: governmental entities; State of Louisiana; chemical corporations; police officers; corrupt police departments; reckless trucking companies; giant utility corporations;  powerful insurance corporations; careless nursing homes; and the like.  In the case of Deaton v. Kenneth Ray, docket #60,068, 23rd JDC, Ascension Parish, Louisiana, Gauthier & Amedee sued the local judge's BAILIFF!  Gauthier & Amedee represented a little girl who suffered mild brain damage in a near-drowning incident in the BAILIFF'S pool.  A jury rendered a verdict for over $2 million dollars.  Can you now imagine why people say, "they don't back down"?      

Why choose Gauthier & Amedee?  We thought you’d never ask. The answer is easy. You are important to us.  You are our number one priority.  We realize you need immediate action and results that count.  We are fully prepared.   Gauthier & Amedee's attitude is, "Don't mess with our client."   We demand full justice.  We hate to lose.  We want to satisfy you and we are the only law firm/lawyer in Louisiana to have been spotlighted three separate times by the American Association for Justice’s Law Reporter. No other law firm or lawyer has ever accomplished this.    

But isn't Gauthier & Amedee just a small town law firm?  Yes, we are a small town firm located in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, and we have taken large insurance corporations head on.  We've fought some of the largest corporations, and won.   As a result of our action, Gauthier & Amedee has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Lawyer’s USA, Verdict Search, The Advocate, National Jury Verdict Review and Analysis, Lawyer's Weekly USA, local newspapers, state newspapers, the Law Reporter, LA Advocates, and other publications.  “Do you think the insurance corporations want to go against Gauthier & Amedee?   Who do you think has the best chance of getting the best results for you and your family? That is the choice you have to make. When you choose Gauthier & Amedee give us a call or stop by our office.   We’re here to fight for you.

Why are these publications significant and important? The answer is simple: The true merit of a business is what its industry says about it. For Gauthier & Amedee, trial lawyers across the nation recount our successes in the courtroom.  Once they read of our focused, deliberate, and relentless trial preparation, they are no longer amazed that attorneys from such a small town could garner such large results. 

Why hasn't Gauthier & Amedee listed all its settlements like the other lawyers?   We could easily do that.  The vast majority of  insurance companies settle with us.  But what would that really tell you about us, as lawyers?  As we see it, that would be a rather crude, rudimentary –even insulting—way to evaluate our success. Why? Because, you don’t have a way to gauge whether that $500,000 settlement was a “good settlement”. Who is to say it shouldn’t have been $600,000 or $1 million?  There is no real bench-mark to gauge whether that settlement is a good settlement.  The articles found in these respected journals best evaluate the success of Gauthier & Amedee.  Because like you, the editors of these journals and publications know it takes a strong, powerful team to take on the insurance industry in the courtroom. That’s a true measure of success.  That's the true measure of Gauthier & Amedee's success.

Can Gauthier & Amedee take my case if I live outside of Louisiana?  Gauthier & Amedee is only licensed in the State of Louisiana.  However, we can associate with a lawyer in your state, sometimes called "local counsel."  We can practice and try your case in another state as long as we have local counsel associated with us.
