Experienced Local Counsel in Louisiana

Experienced Local Counsel in Louisiana

Navigating asbestos and other toxic tort cases in Louisiana can be particularly challenging due to the state's unique legal framework, which follows the Civil Napoleonic Code. This introduces many specialized terms and legal distinctions that may be unfamiliar to out-of-state attorneys. The complexity is further heightened by the Louisiana Supreme Court's requirement that asbestos cases apply the laws in effect at the time of exposure.

Given these challenges, it is highly recommended for out-of-state firms to retain local co-counsel when filing mesothelioma cases in Louisiana.

At The Cheek Law Firm, LLC, we provide local counsel assistance to out-of-state firms as well as in-state firms that lack specific experience in asbestos-related litigation. Our deep institutional knowledge of Louisiana asbestos cases is unparalleled. We have formed strong connections within the local community, including with manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and medical professionals, all essential for successfully winning mesothelioma cases and securing necessary medical attention for clients.

By choosing The Cheek Law Firm, LLC, you are partnering with a firm that has a proven track record of success in handling major mesothelioma cases in Louisiana. Our expertise and local knowledge give your case the best possible chance of success.

We know that personal injury lawsuits can be very emotional and difficult. That is why we make sure that we meet with you in person and get to know you. You will be able to have a much better understanding of us, and you will be able to develop a sense of trust with our firm while we handle your case.

Also, all of the cases we take on at the Cheek Law Firm, LLC are on a contingency basis. This means that we will not charge by the hour, and we will only take a percentage of the settlement if we win the case.
