Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, is a prominent Southern city that features a wide variety of industry and culture. With an estimated population of nearly 800,000 residents, Baton Rouge is the second–largest city in Louisiana and one of the hundred biggest cities in the country. In fact, the Port of Baton Rouge is the ninth largest port in the United States in terms of sheer weight of shipping (tonnage). Established in the early 18th century, the city has been an important center of industry and development ever since. While the city is a burgeoning Southern capital, it also is home to Louisiana State University and their Fighting Tigers. Originally founded in 1853, LSU is the largest college in Louisiana and features a special habitat for their live, albeit captive, mascot named Mike the Tiger. The city's motto is "Authentic Louisiana at every turn."

The Berniard Law Firm has been active in cities and parishes throughout Louisiana and Baton Rouge is no exception. In the wake of various hurricanes and storms that have swept through the Gulf Coast area, including Katrina, Ike and Gustav, our firm has helped a variety of home and business owners dispute the low estimate and insurance checks offered by policy providers. All too often insurance companies will short–change the same policy holders who had held confidence that their monthly payments would provide the over–arching coverage they were promised. The wind damage alone in Baton Rouge in the wake of Hurricane Gustav led to the Berniard Law Firm actively researching and documenting the actions of insurance companies in the face of looming claims being denied.

The widespread use of Chinese drywall throughout Louisiana made Baton Rouge just one of many cities that faced the dangerous toxic import in their repair and rebuilding efforts. The Berniard Law Firm has actively investigated, researched and represented claims from across Louisiana regarding the faulty wallboard and the concerned homeowners that were unfortunate enough to have the materials installed in their homes. What's more, when cable giants Comcast and Cox continued to operate under a business plan that our firm believed to be illegal, the Berniard Law Firm filed suit with other local attorneys on the behalf of customers in Baton Rouge and elsewhere. Our firm's pursuit of fairness and equality of the law for residents of the capital city and elsewhere demonstrates the sort of dedication and work ethic that our clients have come to appreciate over the years.
