Jarome Emile Gautreaux

Jarome Gautreaux is a personal injury trial lawyer who represents people who have been seriously injured, as well as the families of people killed because of carelessness or negligence. Over the years, he has successfully recovered more than 100 million dollars in a variety of personal injury cases. Jarome's reputation for client focus and case success has led to other lawyers requesting his assistance with complex personal injury litigation. What drives Jarome every day is his strong belief that the amount of money someone has should not dictate the justice they receive. It is for this reason that he has never worked for corporations, insurance companies or other interest groups. Instead, he thrives on helping the people who need it most-people who have suffered at the hands of others and deserve compensation. Jarome has been practicing personal injury law since 2000. He has published numerous articles on trial practice, evidence, insurance and civil procedure. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Mercer Law School and lectures to legal groups on a variety of legal topics, including evidence, trial practice, governmental liability, and expert witnesses. In his time away from work, Jarome enjoys coaching his two sons, competing in triathlons, training in the martial arts, reading and traveling.
