About Us 
Jones, Swanson, Huddell & Garrison, L.L.C., is a boutique litigation law firm based in New Orleans, Louisiana, handling complex commercial and environmental/property disputes. The firm’s attorneys have served as lead counsel in litigation in New York, Florida, California, Mississippi, and Louisiana. In the commercial and environmental litigation arenas, the firm has and continues to represent many of Louisiana’s and the Southeast’s largest and most active landholders and business entrepreneurs.
JSH&G’s aggressive and creative approach to commercial litigation has included cases involving complex tax strategy litigation against numerous promoters, law firms, and international banking institutions; partnership disputes; unfair trade practice claims; antitrust litigation; claims pursuant to federal RICO; claims pursuant to the Louisiana Racketeering Act; and defamation and First Amendment claims; as well as pursuit of complex appeals. While the firm often pursues these claims on behalf of clients situated as plaintiffs in litigation and claimants in other dispute resolution fora, the firm also applies this same dedication to innovative and proactive solutions to clients defending themselves against high-stakes claims in litigations and arbitrations.
JSH&G also brings its energetic practice in high-stakes and high-risk claims to the area of legacy property damage and environmental damage suits on behalf of large landowners and business groups throughout Louisiana and the United States, seeking recovery of damages and cleanup resulting from mineral exploration and chemical operations.
On behalf of these and other clients JSH&G has secured successful outcomes, including aggregate verdicts in excess of $150,000,000. Additionally, JSH&G clients have achieved multi-million dollar settlements resulting from the firm’s efforts.
