A Legacy of Fighting for the Injured
For more than 40 years, Lambert Zainey has been a trusted advocate for individuals and families in New Orleans, across Louisiana, and throughout the nation. Founded in 1977 by Hugh “Skip” Lambert, our firm was built on a simple but powerful principle: to provide tough, skilled, and tireless legal representation for those harmed by the negligence of others.
From our beginnings as one of the most successful maritime injury law firms on the Gulf Coast, we have grown into a nationally recognized leader in complex litigation. While our scope has expanded to include major personal injury, environmental contamination, and industrial accident cases, our core mission has never wavered. We are dedicated to holding powerful corporations and insurance companies accountable and securing the justice and compensation our clients deserve.
Our History: Rooted in Maritime Law, Respected Nationwide
Our firm’s story began in the unique and demanding world of maritime law. We cut our teeth representing seamen, longshoremen, and offshore workers in some of the most challenging cases in the industry. This foundational experience taught us how to investigate complex accidents, understand intricate federal and state laws, and stand up to formidable opponents in the courtroom.
Over the decades, we applied that same tenacity and skill to a broader range of cases, earning a reputation for taking on and winning difficult legal battles. Today, Lambert Zainey is known not just for our maritime expertise, but also for our success in:
