Our standard is
excellence. Nothing less.
For decades, one standard has carried the Forstall name through every case we touch.
You pay nothing unless we recover money for you.Excellence isn't a slogan we adopted. It's the standard we were raised on - passed from one generation of Forstalls to the next, and held over every case that carries our name.
Two generations.
One standard.
It's the wisdom of a father who has spent a lifetime in Louisiana courtrooms - sharpened by a son who brings the tools of a new era. The best of both worlds, working for you.
A lifetime in the courtroom.
Chip Forstall has spent decades in New Orleans courtrooms - hard-won judgment, relationships, and instinct that can't be faked or shortcut. He knows how insurers think, how cases are truly won, and exactly what it takes to fight for a family and refuse to back down.
Built for a new era.
Jonathan Forstall carries that legacy into today - modern tools, data-driven strategy, and technology that keeps your case moving faster and keeps you informed at every step. The efficiency and transparency clients expect now, delivered without losing the personal touch.
Old-school conviction. New-world execution.
Five commitments. Every case.
Excellence, or nothing.
We don't measure ourselves against other firms. We measure ourselves against what your case truly deserves - and we refuse to settle for anything less. Every detail, every filing, every conversation is held to that single standard.
Integrity, not a slogan.
Integrity isn't a word we hang on the wall - it's how we practice every single day. We tell you the truth, even when it's hard to hear, and we recommend what's genuinely best for you, not what's easiest or most profitable for us. When the Forstalls give our word, we keep it.
The best of both worlds.
Nearly 50 years of hard-won courtroom wisdom, paired with the technology, data, and speed of a modern firm. You don't have to choose between old-school conviction and new-world execution. With the Forstalls, you get both - on every case.
You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost. No hourly bills. No surprises. You pay us only if we recover money for you, and if we don't, you owe us nothing at all. The risk is ours to carry, not yours.
Family, not a file.
One office. One family. Direct access to the Forstalls themselves. You will never be passed off to a stranger, lost in a queue, or treated like a case number. When you're with us, you're one of our own.
What sets us apart?
The Forstall name comes with a promise.
Every client. Every case. Every person on our team. Held to the same standard.
When you trust our family with your case, you deserve more than great legal representation. You deserve to be treated with care, communicated with honestly, and represented by a team that never forgets what is at stake for you and your family.
That is the Forstall Family Standard.
For generations, our name has stood for doing things the right way: working hard, telling the truth, treating people like family, and never settling for less than our best. Today, every person who works at our firm is expected to uphold that same standard.
Our promise is simple: We will treat your case with the same care, urgency, and accountability we would expect if our own family’s name were on it. Because ours is.
