Notable Experience

George has years of experience leading teams of litigators in high-exposure cases involving major energy-sector corporate clients with business in Louisiana.  He also serves as coordinating counsel, providing trial and docket management.

In recent legacy cases, George has defended clients at trial on claims for tens of millions of dollars based on allegations of soil and groundwater contamination.  In jury trials on these matters, George has argued that conditions were consistent with historic practices and expectations, and posed no serious environmental risks.  Juries have agreed, returning zero verdicts in the recent cases.
