NOBA's PACESETTER CAMPAIGN WINNER

The firm has represented hundreds of individuals and businesses that sustained losses during Hurricanes Katrina, Ike and Gustay. Gauthier attorneys have also represented owners of many commercial businesses, including a Class A high-rise building, in a property damage settlement with a commercial insurance carrier. The firm also won a major jury verdict for owners of a St. Bernard retail center that was damaged during Katrina. In November 2008, James Williams and Stephen Huber successfully tried a jury trial in Palm Beach, Florida involving a business dispute on behalf of a closely-held insurance agency doing business in Puerto Rico.

The firm's mock trial facilities have been an invaluable tool for litigation success. Developed by Wendell Gauthier, the firm's attorneys test their litigation strategies in a mock courtroom using a mock jury. The clients and experts testify before the mock jury while actors are hired to play adverse witnesses.

Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams is also proud of its commitment to the community. For example, Attorney Inemesit U. O'Boyle serves as president of the Greater New Orleans Louis A. Martinet Legal Society and Partner James Williams is a member of the Board of Directors of the New Orleans Bar Association. The firm also donates to a wide variety of causes such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Good Shepherd School.
