About Jeffrey Richardson

Jeff Richardson represents clients in litigation, especially class actions and complex litigation. A major emphasis of Jeff’s practice is appellate litigation, where he has substantial experience sifting through complex trial court records to select the focus of the briefs and oral argument. Jeff is an Appellate Practice Specialist, certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization, and he is one of only 13 attorneys in Louisiana with that certification. He was also selected to serve as a member of the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization Appellate Practice Advisory Commission. Whether arguing the complex case-dispositive motions at the trial court level or representing a client in an appeal, Jeff crafts the best argument to catch the judge’s attention and turn the decision his client’s way. His appellate work often begins at the trial court level when clients ask Jeff to join their existing trial counsel to best position the case for an eventual appeal and then to represent them on appeal. Jeff also has experience considering the defense of litigation from the client side because one of Jeff’s clients, a New York-based Fortune 25 company, hired him to serve as visiting in-house counsel, working on a variety of complex class action and tort cases.
