At the start of every matter, I sit down with my clients to get a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of their potential exposure. What are they trying to achieve and how do they measure success? We then lay out the strategy and trial plan that will guide us, but it’s critical first to determine where they stand on every issue. That’s how I can best defend their interests.

Pamela Gautier works with insurers to defend high-stakes liability lawsuits: personal injury claims, premises liability cases, property and casualty defense, insurance coverage matters, products liability issues, and more. In addition to the risk of unfavorable verdicts, in Louisiana, insurers can also incur penalties and attorney fees at trial, which can turn every claim into a potentially high-stakes lawsuit.

She helps clients successfully resolve wrongful death claims and high-value personal injury allegations, including a $1.5 million claim in the Orleans Civil District Court that she defended to a zero verdict in favor of her client. In addition, she has defended hurricane litigation in Federal and State court. Her success rate in settling hurricane cases is commendable as none has gone to trial.

Pamela is very diligent and detail-oriented. She has earned a reputation for digging through documents, depositions, and case files to identify the elements and facts that best support her clients’ positions. She knows how uncertainty can keep her clients up at night and stays in close contact to assuage their concerns. Pamela’s clients value her determination and commitment to resolving claims against them efficiently and effectively.
