Biography

Frank Lamothe is a seasoned trial lawyer and veteran plaintiff’s advocate with decades of hands-on experience resolving serious personal injury and wrongful death cases. He continues to earn his already stellar reputation as an extremely skilled trial advocate who conducts himself with integrity and the highest standards of professionalism. Frank has tried and won many multi-million-dollar cases during his career in federal and state courts throughout the country, including in Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and Mississippi. Frank is personally committed to and passionate about defending the rights of plaintiffs. In a recent media profile, Frank noted, “It is professionally satisfying to help individuals with limited recourse. These are the forgotten people in our society. Large corporations can spend large sums of money on lawyers to serve their interests. The working man or woman has a limited ability to hire quality lawyers to make his/her life better. My job is to even the score.” Among the most esteemed and go-to trial lawyers in New Orleans, Frank’s practice centers around his genuine concern for individuals who have been wronged or injured. Inside and outside the courtroom, Frank brings an absolute commitment to knowing the law and trial procedure. His hard-earned and battle-tested skills are grounded in diligence, hard work, and smart legal strategy. Frank consistently crafts highly persuasive arguments delivered via effective storytelling and grounded in sound legal theory, focused on realizing the right result. Frank delivers an undeniably deep bench of veteran skill when trying sexual assault and abuse claims, maritime, offshore, Jones Act, oil field claims, and industrial, trucking, and motorcycle accident lawsuits. He has handled many mass torts cases, including representing numerous businesses and individuals who have suffered losses in the BP Oil Spill. He also actively served on the economic loss task force in the federal court litigation filed in the matter. A “lawyer’s lawyer” at the core, Frank feels privileged to be the “go-to” referral source for other attorneys seeking comprehensive and effectual plaintiff advocacy for their clients, colleagues, and network of professionals and personal contacts. Lawyers who know Frank truly appreciate his vast trial experience in personal injury litigation and his seemingly innate ability to win for those he serves.
