The attorneys at Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett (MBLB) represent a broad range of governmental entities in the State of Louisiana, including parish governments, municipalities, levee districts and sheriffs. We defend 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 claims, tort actions, zoning and land use matters, civil service, employment and workers’ compensation matters involving governmental entities and their employees.
Our attorneys also counsel governmental clients regarding contracts, public bid law issues and investigations, as well as handling public officials’ and officers’ defense, public and government property liability defense or premises liability defense, and public entity immunity cases. We have represented clients before city, parish and state administrative entities.
MBLB’s Municipal Law team has trial experience, both jury and non-jury, on behalf of governmental entities and their insurers and has achieved favorable outcomes, findings of no liability and damages less than offered in settlement before trial, and on appeal when necessary.
