Read what our clients have to say

“I’ve worked my entire life at shipyards throughout Texas and Louisiana. I hurt my shoulder while working as a combination welder at a shipyard in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The injury ended my welding career. The insurance company responsible for paying for my injury went bankrupt and stop paying my benefits. The employer went out of business. A friend referred me to Mr. Lavis and told me Mr. Lavis handled cases throughout Louisiana. Despite the insurance company=s bankruptcy, Mr. Lavis was successful in securing additional benefits due as well as a large settlement.”

Dave Bean

Client

“Charles Lavis Jr helped me out a couple of times with job injury cases. The insurance company tried to mess me over a couple of times and he successfully overcame the obstacles. He did a great job! I would strongly recommend him for any workers compensation case, auto accident case or any other type of problem you have with your insurance company.”

Bobbie Welch

Client

“I sought the services of Attorney Charles Lavis because I was getting nowhere with my homeowner’s insurance company. It had been approximately six months since Hurricane Katrina and they were basically shuffling by case from adjuster to adjuster. After securing the services of Mr. Lavis, I received my settlement within weeks. I was/am very pleased with his efficiency of service and professionalism. I have already recommended him to family members who are going through the same ordeal. I am reassured knowing that there is an attorney that I can turn to in times of need.”

Nia Vaughn

Client

“We have dealt with lawyers before, but none compare to you. You are compassionate, caring and selfless. We can’t thank you enough for the great job you did and the time you gave of yourself. We highly recommend your services to anyone. We will not hesitate to call should we need your services again. Thanks again and God Bless.”

Typical Client Work Flow

Evaluate The Claim

Most workers compensation claims have wage loss, medical, vocational rehabilitation & mileage reimbursement components. I check to make sure you are being paid appropriately to maximize your recovery.

Avoid The Pitfalls

Keeping your indemnity, medical, mileage and vocational rehabilitation benefits is important. So, I will help you navigate the workers compensation process. Beware of the Nurse Case Manager and Vocational Counselor meeting with your doctors. I attend these meetings for my clients.

Settle The Claim

While you cannot force the insurance company to settle your entire claim, by maximizing and keeping your benefits, you can usually make the insurance company come around to a reasonable settlement.

Client Services Guarantee

When you hire my services, I promise you will receive…

Close Personal Attention

I promise I will answer all your questions, meet with you as often as you wish, and do everything possible to treat you the way I like to be treated when I’m the client.

Immediate Access

If I’m in the office and available when you call, I promise I will speak with you immediately. If I’m out of the office or with a client, I will return your call as soon as possible.

Prompt Return Calls

I promise I will make every effort to return your phone calls promptly. If I am tied up and can’t return your call, I’ll ask my legal assistant to call you and set a time for our telephone appointment.

Quick Response to Your Requests

Confidential Service

I promise I will provide all of your legal services myself. I will not delegate your work to a junior attorney.

Fair and Reasonable Fees

I keep close watch on my overhead costs and regularly monitor my fees to make sure they are fair and reasonable for both of us. The best lawyer-client relationship is when both you and I are happy. I promise to work with you to that end.

Current Knowledge

work hard to maintain the highest level of knowledge in the areas in which I practice. I eagerly attend continuing seminars, workshops and roundtables so I stay up to date on the newest laws and latest court decisions.

Competent Services

The seminars and workshops I attend allow me to provide you with the latest information, most effective techniques, and most efficient methods so you receive the full legal protection the law allows.

Contingency Fee

I work on a contingency fee basis. This means I receive my fee out of the money I recover for you. If I do not recover any money, I don’t receive a fee, costs or expenses. I will never ask you for a retainer or deposit. I get paid only after I collect money for you.

Value in Every Respect

My goal is to make sure you feel the value you receive from me is always greater than the fee you pay. So while I can’t guarantee my fees will always be low, I can guarantee they will always be fair. I want you to receive more value from me than any other lawyer you know and I’ll work hard to make sure you do.
