Shreveport, the third largest city in Louisiana, is the 99th largest city in the United States and is home to nearly 400,000 people in the Shreveport–Bossier City Metropolitan Area. Founded in 1836, the city is a prominent commercial and cultural area because of its unique geographic proximity to neighboring Arkansas and Texas. Home to an impressive riverboat gambling district started in the late 20th century, downtown Shreveport has a wide variety of architectural styles and a brilliant array of lighting that makes the city shine. Home to the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeals and to a wide variety of tourist attractions, at one time second only to New Orleans. A wide variety of businesses based in the film industry dot the Shreveport landscape and prominent movies such as "Factory Girl," "The Guardian" and George Bush biopic "W." Shreveport's Shriner's Hospital for Children was the first of its kind in the U.S. and was established in 1922.

With Shreveport's unique geographic location and low elevation has led to a series of problems with flooding for homeowners and businesses in the area. As insurance companies are often reluctant at best to handle flood claims and will often deny or undercut claims made for water damage, the Berniard Law Firm has an active interest in representing and assisting people spent a lot of time analyzing the insurance situations emerging. By actively contacting insurance companies on behalf of our clients, the Berniard law firm has historically achieved great success in achieving impressive settlements after clients have been denied or undercut. In working with insurance companies both in and outside of the courtroom, our firm attempts to tackle the pitfalls befalling Shreveport homeowners dealing with storm damage and an uncooperative insurance provider.

Because insurance reform measures and the protection of rights are needed throughout Louisiana, the Berniard Law Firm has been active in making sure the needs of clients in Shreveport and beyond are met. Available by appointment, our firm will gladly visit to discuss with residents of Shreveport their legal rights and move forward to help them receive the settlement or monetary award they deserve. Further, the need for legal advice when dealing with insurance companies is now becoming mandatory. Our firm's expertise in handling cases in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, as well as Gustav and Ike, makes us an excellent source of information for home and property owners who would like a legal opinion after making a claim with their insurance provider. By contacting one of our attorneys to discuss the situation and the dealings carried out with the insurance company, residents of Shreveport can rest assured that their situation is being handled professionally and accurately and that whatever crisis they have experienced will not be replicated in the wake of an insurance company's denial or refusal of payment.

Shreveport residents looking to contact our firm for more information on a legal issue they are facing are urged to call us at 1-866-574-8005 or email lead attorney Jeffrey Berniard at jeffberniard@laclaim.com. As stated above, an attorney from our firm will gladly visit a resident of Shreveport by appointment to discuss the legal situation being faced by our potential client.
