Ours Is a Heritage of Defending Injured Workers

Foley, Lamy & Jefferson has a strong legacy of defending the working men and women of Louisiana. We also have the expertise and financial resources to take on the difficult cases that other law firms avoid. We will be here to fight for you today and tomorrow.


Our story starts in 1951, when the law firms Dodd, Hirsch, Barker, Avant & Wall and Dodd, Hirsch, Barker & Meunier began representing trade unions, labor organizations, and injured Louisianians. These firms merged into Barker, Boudreaux, Lamy, Gardner & Foley, and eventually into Barker, Boudreaux, Lamy & Foley, all the while continuing their representation of the injured and disenfranchised. Today, Foley, Lamy & Jefferson continue to carry the torch lit over 60 years ago, championing the cause of those injured through no fault of their own.
