##Firm Overview

Gainsburgh, Benjamin, David, Meunier & Warshauer, L.L.C. is a New Orleans, Louisiana law firm founded in 1949, now in its eighth decade of practice, with additional offices in New Roads, Louisiana, and Ridgeland, Mississippi. The firm handles complex litigation involving clients injured by the medical, maritime, and commercial industries, including medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, maritime and offshore injury, commercial litigation and breach of contract, and complex/multidistrict litigation (toxic exposure, pharmaceutical and medical device claims).

The firm states its attorneys hold leadership positions in local, state, and federal bar associations and regularly lecture at seminars educating other attorneys and judges. Notably, three former partners of the firm have gone on to become federal, state, and appellate court judges. The firm works with referral counsel on complex cases, with some referral relationships spanning more than 30 years, and states that when fellow lawyers have complex lawsuits they cannot litigate themselves — or need legal help for themselves or a family member — they call on this firm.

The firm operates on a contingency/percentage fee basis: if it does not secure a settlement or judgment, it does not charge a legal fee or costs.
