A Message from Christopher Schwartz:

Hello, I’m Christopher Schwartz, and I want to talk with you about your legal rights. It’s bad enough if you’ve been injured on the job, or in a car or truck accident, or hurt through the negligence of others. It’s even worse if you’ve been denied your rights. It can leave you feeling helpless and confused about what to do. I want to help change that starting right now. Just call me and I’ll tell you how much your case is worth, how long it will take, and what I will personally do for you.

The last thing you need right now is more money worries. So rest assured, you’ll pay nothing to talk to me. And you won’t pay one penny unless we win. You also don’t need some big-shot law firm that will hand your case off to an assistant and then forget about you. So I promise you this: I will take your case personally. We’ll keep you informed about the progress of your case. And we’ll explain things clearly, so you won’t be confused.

Why do I take every case so personally? There are two big reasons. First, Southern Louisiana is my home. I grew up around here. After law school, I came back home to start my own law firm, fighting for local people. In 14 years, we’ve built up a track record of success, including some multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Second, I know how tough the system can be. Before becoming a lawyer, I worked as a workers’ comp claims adjuster. I’ve seen the system and its abuses from the inside and I know how to fight it.

So don’t miss out on what you deserve. Call me and let’s talk.
