Who We Are

Firm Overview

Our History

In 1983, the Womac Law Firm was founded through the hard work and dedication of Edward J. Womac, Jr. Ed founded the firm to stand up for the rights of personal injury victims. Since that time, the firm has grown from one trial attorney to a team of ten trial hardened lawyers and a support staff of over 25 employees, with offices in New Orleans, Gretna and Mandeville, Louisiana.

As a homegrown law firm, we hire standout attorneys from Louisiana State University, Tulane University and Loyola University Law Schools who have a passion for defending the rights of accident victims. We are aggressive, and we know how to win. For over 28 years, the Womac Law Firm has employed the most determined personal injury attorneys who will fight to get you every dollar you deserve. We are determined. We are aggressive, and we will fight for you.

When you hire the Womac Law Firm, you don't just get one lawyer. You get the backing of an entire law firm known for getting positive results. Since 1983, we've handled over 20,000 personal injury cases, going head to head against big corporations and giant insurance companies. To us, 20,000 is more than just a number. It means we have helped thousands of injured clients get the financial compensation they needed to put their lives back together.

Over the past 28 years, the Womac Law Firm has established itself as one of the elite personal injury law firms in Louisiana. Since 1983, the Womac Law Firm has helped clients receive awards ranging from $1,000 to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

The Womac Law Firm does NOT represent corporations or insurance companies. We never have, and we never will. Instead, we strictly represent the people- not the powerful. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The attorneys at the Womac Law Firm are dedicated to getting justice for our clients, and we have zero tolerance for corporate or insurance company misconduct.

Mock Jury Courtroom

The Womac Law Firm has recently completed a state of the art mock jury courtroom at its Canal Street office. Going to court for the first time can be quite stressful, and testifying in a courtroom for the first time can be overwhelming. Most of our clients have never been in a courtroom. People are naturally afraid of things they have never encountered, so we built a state of the art mock jury courtroom to alleviate some of the stress for our clients. The Womac Law Firm's mock jury courtroom is on site, so our clients can familiarize themselves with the courtroom atmosphere before being called to testify at trial. Simply being familiar with the layout of a courtroom helps our clients relax so they can focus on their testimony without the distraction of being in a completely new and unfamiliar environment.

We want to do the best job possible, and that means our clients must be prepared. The mock jury courtroom is yet another tool in our arsenal that helps our clients prepare for the experience of a real trial.

Our Community

Louisiana is our home. We live, work, and play here, which is why we remain active in the New Orleans and Jefferson Parish communities. The Womac Law Firm continues to sponsor several educational, recreational, and religious organizations to enrich the lives of our neighbors. Specifically, the Womac Law Firm has been a major contributor to the Jefferson Parish Recreational Department, Girard Playground, St. Philip Neri School, Archbishop Rummel High School, Archbishop Chapelle High School, Harrell Playground, and Comiskey Playground. After Hurricane Katrina, the Womac Law Firm helped replace the library at St. Philip Neri, which had been severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Recently, the Womac Law Firm purchased two historic buildings on Canal Street and restored them to their historic glory.
