JONATHAN FORSTALL

Overview

Since Jonathan was a little kid, he was committed to following in his father’s footsteps in the practice of law and to, one day, take over one of New Orleans’ prominent law firms his father started back in the 90s. Today, he is living that dream and strives to take the law firm to the next level and to grow the firm’s presence even stronger in the New Orleans Community.

He has grown to love the challenge of standing up for and representing people who have the odds stacked against them. Jonathan has taken his job seriously through the years of his practice. He is not afraid when the insurance company offers his client pennies on the dollar, thinking they can get his client to fold.

No matter how big or small the case, Jonathan takes great pride in helping those that entrust their injury claim to his law firm. Jonathan specializes in the area of civil litigation with a concentration in the areas of catastrophic personal injury, wrongful deaths, 18 wheeler accidents, company car accidents, traumatic brain injury, auto accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, ride-share accidents, slip and falls, general personal injury, and property damage claims.
