A Personal Injury Attorney Who Fights for Justice in Metairie, Louisiana

A Competitive Edge Backed by Full Commitment

”As an attorney I get to compete and battle my opponents, but the best part of practicing law is helping my clients reach a positive resolution in order to heal and overcome what is likely one of the most difficult times of their life.”

Deep Louisiana Roots and Academic Excellence

Proudly born and raised in Metairie, Lane graduated from Brother Martin High School before attending Tulane University. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Management with concentrations in Finance and Legal Studies while also serving as a starting member of Tulane’s football team. With 37 starts including the 2002 Hawaii Bowl, Lane built discipline and leadership that continue to guide his legal work today.

Family Law Services We Offer in Louisiana

After college, Lane pursued a successful management role at AT&T in Birmingham, Alabama. During this time, he earned his MBA from Auburn University, building a strong foundation in business operations, negotiation, and critical decision-making — skills that later enhanced his legal strategy.

Returning Home to Pursue a Legal Calling

Lane’s heart remained in Louisiana. He returned to Metairie and enrolled at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, working full-time while completing his Juris Doctor. Balancing law school and work was demanding, but Lane’s determination never wavered, especially with a young family depending on him.

A Personal Trial That Shaped His Empathy

During law school, Lane’s youngest child was born nearly three months early, weighing less than two pounds. With his newborn son in the NICU for 78 days, Lane faced one of the most emotionally and physically taxing periods of his life. This experience gave him profound empathy for families dealing with medical crises, something that now informs every case he takes on.

Building a Legal Career with Insight from the Inside

Lane began his legal career at a respected insurance defense firm in Metairie, where he learned how insurance companies evaluate and defend personal injury claims. Today, he uses that inside knowledge to anticipate insurer strategies and fight back effectively on behalf of injured clients.

A Personal Injury Advocate Who Understands Your Struggles

Lane’s commitment to personal injury law became even more personal when his own family was injured in a car accident. Experiencing the frustration and fear of dealing with injuries, treatments, and claims firsthand strengthened his resolve to help others facing the same battle.

As I worked with the various insurance companies involved to get a favorable settlement to compensate for our injuries, I realized that everyone deserves to be represented by a competent and trusted attorney.
