This was my second time using this firm and I was able to obtain the same attorney again (Brent Robinson). He was nothing but patient throughout the case and I could not ask for a better attorney.

My lawyer was Mrs. Courtney Kretzsinger and I appreciate the experience that I had with her . I never been involved with anything like this and I was happy to have her because she was a very reliable person. She always made sure to check up on me and let me know how everything was going and she was very good at explaining and answering my questions any time i needed her. I appreciate having this nice woman as my lawyer and for helping me settle my case.
They were great! Would recommend. Great in the Baton Rouge community. Courtney and Chelsea helped a lot.

I worked with Matthew Reed for three years. There was not one time in that time frame that I ever doubted his determination and willingness to help me. Matthew is always a pleasure to speak to and will answer any question that you may have. Extremely professional and prompt. He is honest and open and will ensure that you get treated with the best care and utmost respect.
I have never been in a situation like I was. Greg Murphy and his team were there for me through a very difficult time. My case started right when Covid went full blown and Greg did all he could to get me the medical attention I needed. He is very easy to speak to and understanding. He guided through the entire medical and legal process.
Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
All Members and Associates are members of the Louisiana State Bar. Select Members and Associates are also members of Mississippi State Bar, Alabama State Bar and Texas State Bar.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
