OUR FIRM

Roedel Parsons began in 1988 when Larry Roedel and Kent Parsons combined their respective litigation and regulatory practices. In 1990, John Koch joined Roedel Parsons, further expanding the firm's client base with his governmental relations practice.

Since our inception as an AV-rated Firm, our goal has always been to offer quality legal services in a timely manner at an affordable price. By attracting exceptional law school graduates and accomplished lateral hires, we have enhanced the scope of our legal services to include nearly every area of civil practice. Over the years we have experienced sustained growth, while continuing to uphold the goals and principles upon which our firm was founded.

The demands and pace of our profession are forever changing, but our principles and standards remain the same. Responding to your needs in an efficient manner is our priority. Tailoring our legal services to meet your individual needs, our diverse team of talented attorneys will work together to determine the best course of action for each client in each situation.

It is our mission to meet the needs of those who experience the challenges, struggles, and successes of life. Our client base, business opportunities, and reputation in the community have given us much to be thankful for, and we appreciate your consideration of Roedel Parsons for your legal needs.

*** HURRICANE GUSTAV UPDATE ***

Baton Rouge took a significant hit from Hurricane Gustav. Our office reopened on Monday, September 8th. Our attorneys, staff and families are safe. All of your files, cases and projects are secure. We appreciate your patience during the last several days as email and telephone communications are restored. Our community will recover quickly. We are thankful for the thousands of volunteers who traveled from other places to assist us in the recovery effort, especially church based groups, civic organizations, and utility workers from many states. Your service was valuable beyond measure.

HURRICANE KATRINA AFTERMATH

We hope that your business, family and friends are on the way toward a full recovery. We have much to be thankful for here at the firm. Fortunately, our firm has always had its home base here in Baton Rouge. Our New Orleans folks have all returned to their home base. We are grateful that our office, attorneys, staff (and families) were safe.

We will always focus on the basics – providing quality legal services, with a prompt turn-around time, at fair prices. We are here for the long term. We appreciate your business, your trust and confidence. Together we work and pray for the continued recovery of our State in general and the New Orleans area in particular.

Now, for the opportunities. Several members of our firm remain directly involved in the governmental efforts to “fully rebuild the New Orleans area.” A few selected examples include:

· The Port of New Orleans, the New Orleans International Airport, the New Orleans Convention Center, the New Orleans Arena;

· The retention of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Hornets for the next decade; and

· The Medical Center of Louisiana to replace the former Charity Hospital.

Roedel Parsons attorneys are at the forefront of these projects. We are involved in legal issues and the related governmental/legislative efforts necessary to continue the “rebuilding of New Orleans.” If we can assist any client in this noble cause, we are ready to do so.

We humbly acknowledge that, had nature steered Hurricane Katrina in a slightly different course, the City of Baton Rouge would have been on the “receiving end” of the compassion and generosity of our fellow citizens. At this time in our State’s history, we are on the “giving end” and we are thankful for that opportunity.
