WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

ADVOCACY THROUGH STORYTELLING

From March 1 through 6, our attorney, Jerry, attended the Trial Lawyers College Trial Skills program at Mo Ranch in Hunt, Texas. The program was led by experienced trial attorneys and attended by successful and intelligent lawyers. The course focused on telling your client’s story in a clear and compelling way. “I learned practical skills to more effectively present that story so that jurors not only understand the facts, but why those facts matter, in an authentic way,” Jerry said. He plans to use what he learned to present our clients’ cases more effectively at every stage. Jerry’s goal is to clearly articulate what our clients have suffered and how these events have impacted their lives for the jurors. A major focus of the program was keeping clients’ experiences at the center of the case.

consultation, I felt like a person rather than just a case number. Dealing with an injury is stressful enough, but Loyd’s office handled the heavy lifting with professionalism and genuine empathy. They were always available to answer my questions and kept me updated every step of the way. If you want a lawyer who actually cares about your recovery, this is the place to go.” – Billie  “The team working with me is very helpful and professional. They are consistent and reliable in making sure everything is done and that I am kept informed throughout the process.” – Summer When someone you love gets hurt, make sure they’re truly taken care of.

make sure they are heard,” Jerry said. This program differed from many similar courses because of its focus on the human element. Topics covered included the feelings people have and how to tell a story that puts someone in that moment. We are so lucky to have opportunities like this one that let our team learn and grow. Although we always try to learn, attending such an intensive course really makes a difference.

UNITED WAY VICTORY

We had a great time at United Way of St. Charles’s recent Victory Celebration. Loyd has served on the board for many years and recently completed

his second term as Campaign Co-Chair. Loyd was rather proud of their efforts as this year’s campaign was the second highest ever, only coming behind the post-Ida effort that played such an important role in rebuilding our community. We’re proud to support the work United Way makes possible across the parish, especially Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Loyd

was honored with the Tocqueville Award for funding the Imagination Library for all children in St. Charles Parish this year. Have a child aged 0 to 5? Scan the QR code to sign up and receive a free book delivered to your home every month.

CHOOSE GROWTH CONTINUED

Spring reminds us that growth often starts small. A seed planted today does not become a tree tomorrow. But with steady care and time, it grows stronger every day. The same is true for us. This season, consider taking a step toward growth. Learn something new. Try something you’ve been putting off. Or spend time improving a skill that matters to you.

You may be surprised by how much progress can be made from one small step. Just like spring, growth begins the moment we decide to try.
