Our History
Bernard, Cassisa, Elliott & Davis, A Professional Law Corporation | New Orleans, Louisiana
They had spent five days in Federal Court. Their notes were exhaustive. Handwritten pages and bulky law books covered the desk. Neither of the two young attorneys had tried a case in Federal Court before, but their new client had confidence in them.
Peter Bernard and Paul Cassisa were determined not to let their client down. That was why they spent the week in Federal Court - not as litigators - but sitting quietly in the back as observers.
They watched. They learned. They prepared. They won that first case.
In the years following that first trial, Bernard and Cassisa handled hundreds of cases. They continued to use the same proven methods and they continued to be successful. Their reputation for thorough preparation and efficient trial work brought them a continually increasing caseload and a glowing reputation. They hired young associates and instilled in them what would become the hallmark of this firm: Preparation.
Today, this same studious approach and commitment to exhaustive preparation results in a high rate of trial success for the firm. Bernard, Cassisa, Elliott & Davis is now a widely respected leader in product liability defense throughout the Gulf South and beyond. And, because of their professionalism and strict attention to details, they have enjoyed loyal client relationships spanning seven decades. These longtime clients include some of the world's largest corporations.
