A capable attorney with some communication delays

I hired Gerald Meunier after a significant car accident left me with mounting medical bills. His reputation, including the Lawyer of the Year recognition in personal injury, was a major factor in my decision. With his decades of experience from Georgetown Law, he clearly knows the legal landscape in Louisiana inside and out. The initial consultation was thorough, and he outlined a solid strategy for my case. Ultimately, we reached a settlement that was fair and addressed my primary needs. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. There were periods of several weeks where updates were scarce unless I initiated contact, and responses from his team could be slow. While I never doubted his legal acumen—his expertise in mass torts and class actions is evident from his profile—managing client expectations on communication could be improved. For a straightforward case where you need a seasoned professional, he is competent, but be prepared to be proactive in staying informed.
