A consummate professional who delivers results

Our company faced a complex breach of contract dispute with a former supplier, and the potential financial exposure was significant. We engaged David Shelby based on his deep experience in commercial litigation and his long-standing recognition in the field. Over his 32-year career, he has cultivated a profound understanding of Louisiana law. David was not only a strategic legal mind but also a steady, clear communicator who demystified every step. His meticulous preparation and negotiation skills led to a highly favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation. His expertise, honed at Taylor, Porter, is exactly what you want in high-stakes matters.
