My legal career began in 1983 upon graduation from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. During my time at Loyola, I was a member of Loyola Law Review and a member of The Craven Moot Court team, which was a finalist in a national competition.Throughout a career which spans more than three decades, I have proven myself a skilled litigator; one that is thorough, prepared, and reputable. I am a hard worker with an efficient approach to preparation that has served my clients well, whether the objective is an amicable resolution or resolution through trial.I am licensed in the state of Louisiana and in 2011 was admitted to the Texas Bar. I have litigated and tried numerous jury and bench trials in Louisiana state and federal district courts, and I have argued in multiple Louisiana appellate courts, the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am admitted to practice in all Louisiana's Federal courts and the United States Supreme Court.I have been selected as a top-rated attorney in Louisiana Super Lawyers and among the Top Lawyers in the New Orleans Area in “New Orleans Magazine.” I have been rated "AV" by Martindale Hubbell for many years. I am a member of several professional organizations, including the Defense Research Institute, the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance, and the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel.Connect with me here on LinkedIn or email me: richardt@litchfieldcavo.com
