Before joining Liskow & Lewis, Jill practiced for more than 17 years at maritime defense litigation firms in New Orleans and opened the Louisiana office of an international law firm. Early in her career, she served as in-house counsel to a major foodservice franchisor, handling franchisee compliance, risk management assessment, international and domestic trademarks and contracts, as well as the legal aspects of day-to-day operations.

Jill received her B.A. from the University of New Orleans and her law degree from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. She is licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas.

Her practice is predominately litigation based with a focus on maritime, personal injury defense, collections, bankruptcy, commercial litigation, and employment matters. Jill also serves clients with non-bankruptcy, insolvency-related matters, general litigation, contract disputes, succession matters, personal injury, property disputes, employment and labor issues, and commercial enforcement actions, including collections, foreclosures, note and guaranty actions, vessel sales, lien/asset search assessments, vessel seizures, asset seizures and foreclosures, property dispute cases, car accident cases, Jones Act cases, lien placement and forfeiture matters.

Jill’s philosophy on responsiveness mirrors Liskow and Lewis’s 24/7 response program, which helps ensure that team members are engaged during the first critical hours following a catastrophe and remains active in all of her cases from start to finish.
