Our work has always reflected the character of our lawyers:  intelligent, imaginative, upbeat, responsive, attentive. Serious, but not stuffy or aloof. And, above all, principled—always taking the high road. We know that clients are looking for excellent, reliable, reasonably priced legal advice from lawyers who are compatible with them and accessible to them.  Every lawyer who joins our firm must respect that vision of practicing the law and have the skills to solve problems through personal and responsive interaction with our clients. 

Gordon Arata lawyers are legal professionals, not merely legal technicians.  We have all the qualifications you want from a leading firm:  top academic records at prestigious law schools, federal and state supreme court judicial clerkships, leadership positions in the Federal Bar Association, the Louisiana Bar Association and other professional organizations, experience in government and industry.  When you work with a Gordon Arata lawyer you can be dealing with someone listed in Chambers USA and The Best Lawyers in America.  But your attorney might just also be an Olympic-qualifier in track and field . . . a novelist who writes geopolitical thrillers . . . a founder of the Second Harvesters food bank . . . or a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives.
