Client Testimonials
Mr. Joseph Gaar is an excellent attorney; he’s an attorney with a heart. When he works on a case Joe and his staff are hard working professionals. When I went to see Joe, I had a lawyer out of Lake Charles who had my case for 3 years and had done nothing. Most of my doctor’s appointments I had to pay for myself. I needed surgery on my neck which my former lawyer would pay for and couldn’t seem to get set up. My previous attorney totally mishandled my case. I had to mortgage my home and almost lost everything…
-Mamie Kramer
I got a neck and hand injury while working offshore, after my company wouldn’t cooperate I decided it was in my best interest to find an attorney. I had only been living in the area for a few months so I wasn’t really sure where to begin looking for one, so I picked up the phone book and I saw Mr. Gaar’s ad on the back. After reading his qualifications and looking at his website, I decided he would be best for the job. I contacted Mr. Gaar, and met with him. I told him the situation I was in,…
-Donnie Sanders
I was in an automobile accident with a utility truck. Immediately after the wreck I experienced neck pain and shoulder pain. A friend referred me to an attorney who never really understood me or my pain. I seemed to be on his back burner and not a priority. After months of frustration with this attorney I fired him. I didn’t know where to turn. I found Mr. Gaar’s web site and called immediately. I spoke to Mr. Gaar who was really nice to me and seemed more interested than my previous attorney. We set up a meeting and Mr. Gaar…
-Philip Broussard
I was involved in a fairly significant automobile accident. I initially went to see an attorney who signed me up. He recommended that I speak with Joseph F. Gaar, Jr. Through the efforts of Joseph Gaar, I subsequently obtained a settlement in excess of one million dollars for my injuries. I would highly recommend Mr. Gaar, and his law firm for anyone seeking competent, unrelenting legal representation. Enough good things cannot be said about Joseph Gaar and his firm.
-Ronald Joey Guidroz
I came to Mr. Gaar after having to discharge my first attorney. I was injured in a trucking accident, and initially consulted a “family friend” who was an attorney. My “family friend” assured me that he would promptly obtain workers’ compensation benefits and pay for necessary medical tests and treatment which I needed. My doctor ordered and MRI and when I went for the test, I was told after arrival, that the MRI had not been approved nor had it been pre-paid by my attorney. Not only did my attorney fail to communicate with me, but likewise failed to get…
-Eugene Lawrence, Jr.
My husband was killed as a result of an accident where his co-workers were negligent. I contacted an attorney who agreed to take my case. After six months and hearing nothing from my first attorney, I contact his office and was advised that “I did not have a case” and “could come and get my file.” I picked up my file, and consulted with a fried, who was a current client of Mr. Gaar. My friend told me what a fantastic job Mr. Gaar had done in representing him, and that I should contact “his attorney.” Mr. Gaar advised me…
-Rebecca Duncan
THANKS A MILLION: I was hurt offshore and had been dealing with Workman Comp. Within a few days of my prescribed time expiring to do anything, I was sent to Joe Gaar by a mutual friend. Literally, within days, I had seen Mr. Gaar, and he had filed my paperwork in the Courthouse. Through phone calls, visits and almost 4 years later, Joe Gaar and his staff settled my case for 2.8 million. During these trying times I lived scared and worried. I did not know how this was going to turn out, but Mr. Gaar and his entire staff…
-Robert and Vicki Thibedaeux
“I was in an automobile accident, four years prior to my settlement, with a truck hauling a construction dumpster in Houma LA. Immediately after the wreck I experienced back and neck pain as well as pain in both of my wrists. A friend referred me to the Gaar Law Firm where I met with Joe and his staff. From the first moment that I met with Joe I was treated as though I was his only client, but with the hustle and bustle of his office, it was obvious that he had many others. Joe and his staff are very…
-Scooter Dronet
“If you are looking for a GREAT attorney look no farther than Joseph Gaar, he has a wonderful and professional staff that is always willing to help in every way possible. I was injured and went to a friend that was an attorney and he told me he would take care of me, WELL 1 1/2 years later I was still waiting for him to do something. He did do one thing, which was the best thing he could have done for me and that was put me in touch with Mr. Joe. After meeting with Mr. Joe, and in…
-Tammy Vincent
It was such a great experience to work with Joe Gaar and his staff on my personal injury case. From the moment I walked into his office, I was treated like family. The entire process was fluid, led by solid advice from Joe. He guided me along the way and made sure that I understood each step and felt comfortable with the decisions that were made. Any questions that arose during the process were always followed up with a phone call from Joe himself rather than his staff.
