Best law firm in New Orleans! Chip and Jonathan helped me on a case when the insurance company didn’t want to pay me anything. They are very professional, personable, treat you like family, and they’re like sharks in the court room. They have the resources of a big firm and the personal touch of a small firm. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an exceptional and trustworthy attorney. Go see them, you won’t regret it!
A trusted partner for your toughest cases.
When a case calls for deep resources, serious trial firepower, or simply more than your firm can take on right now, the Forstalls are ready to step in - protecting your client, your relationship, and your fee every step of the way.
Is this your case?
You have a client who's been seriously hurt. But maybe the case falls outside your practice area. Maybe it demands financial resources and time you'd rather not tie up. Maybe it simply needs more firepower than a smaller firm can bring to bear. Referring that case shouldn't mean losing control of the relationship you've built - or the fee you've earned.
When you refer a case to the Law Offices of Chip Forstall, your client is in trusted hands, your relationship stays intact, and your referral fee is honored in full. We do the heavy lifting. You keep the credit.
Attorneys often refer cases involving:
- A conflict of interest
- A matter outside your practice area
- A case that needs significant financial resources
- A client with catastrophic or life-changing injuries
- A claim requiring extensive experts or advanced trial strategy
- Federal, maritime, or mass-tort issues
If a client would be better served with more firepower, we're ready to step in.
Built on respect, resources, and results.
We Respect Your Relationship
Your client came to you first, and we never forget it. We keep you informed, make you look good, and hand the relationship back stronger than we found it.
We Honor Your Fee

The reputation behind the partnership.
I had the best experience. The team especially Ms Carmen worked fast and kept me in the loop of my case. Everyone was extremely friendly.
Well it was my first time ever needing a lawyer for anything. I would have to say I had a great experience. Johnathan really took care of me, he made me feel like I’ve known him for years. He kept me up to date often. “I never had to call him about anything as far as status of my case. I was very happy with my settlement. Johnathan got me more money than I was expecting. I would also recommend all my family and friends to the law firm.
I had an accident in October 2020 and they handled my case very quickly. I was very happy with the way they treated my case. It wasn’t a severe injury case but it wasn’t put aside for anyone else either. Johnathan was a very honest attorney. He gave me the facts of my case and we got a good settlement. He went above and beyond for me. Thanks team Forstall!
I was in a terrible car accident the day after thanksgiving in 24. I had no clue where to begin with it being my 1st accident ever in life. Came into the office and spoke with Ms Carmen, she made my experience so easy and put every thing into dummy terms shall I say for me. Hopefully I never have to experience this again but if so I will be back and I recommend trying them out if ever n a bond … thank me later
