Bio

I am a founding partner of JJC Law LLC, where I focus on maritime, products liability, environmental, and personal injury litigation. I was born in Patterson, Louisiana, in St. Mary Parish, and grew up along the Bayou Teche. My journey eventually led me to New Orleans, where I attended Tulane University and Tulane Law School.My background in physics, mathematics, and computer science, combined with my lifelong experience around the offshore and inland oil and gas industries, gives me a unique understanding of the technical and scientific issues that frequently arise in maritime and environmental cases. As a litigator, I have had the opportunity to brief and argue significant legal issues related to maritime injury, insurance coverage, products liability, and personal injury.Outside of my practice, I lead our firm's sponsored basketball team, affectionately known as "The Firm," which competes in some of the most competitive leagues in the Greater New Orleans area. I am also an adjunct professor of trial advocacy at Tulane Law School and enjoy lecturing on various legal topics. Additionally, I am actively involved in several bar associations, public interest groups, and community service organizations, offering pro bono and charitable services to underserved and marginalized communities.

Expertise and Dedication in Maritime Law

Cayce Peterson is an exceptional attorney who combines deep expertise in maritime and personal injury law with a genuine commitment to her clients. When our family faced a complex case involving a commercial vessel accident, her knowledge of admiralty and maritime law proved invaluable. She handled every detail with precision, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurers, and ultimately secured a favorable outcome. Her recognition in these practice areas is well-earned, and her ability to explain legal complexities in clear terms was a huge reassurance. Beyond her professional skills, Cayce’s empathy and responsiveness made a difficult process much more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled litigator in these areas.
