Mr. Frank E. Lamothe, III Attorney at Law
315 Lee Lane, Ste. 104 Covington, LA 70433
Dear Frank:
Approximately 30 years ago, I was looking for an attorney with experience in prosecuting an off-shore maritime case. My office is in North Louisiana and I had absolutely no experience in handling a maritime law case. However, when I was retained in a good Jones Act case, I was fortunate to associate you; and, we successfully completed the case, after arduous litigation.
Since that time, our firm has continued to associate you on our Jones Act cases; and, we have never been dissatisfied.
Without any reservations, I recommend you to any attorney who needs associate counsel in maritime cases.
I wish you great success as you continue your successful practice in the area of maritime Law.
