Shane Romero has extensive experience representing individuals, businesses, and governmental entities in complex civil litigation.

WHAT KIND OF DISPUTE ARE YOU FACING?

Experienced Representation for Complex Civil Disputes.

BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Business disputes can threaten years of work and substantial financial investments.

We represent individuals, business owners and companies in disputes involving contracts, ownership interests, business relationships, financial obligations and other commercial matters.

CONTRACT DISPUTES

A contract is supposed to establish what each party agreed to do.

When one side doesn’t perform, disputes can arise over payment, performance, interpretation, damages, termination or enforcement.

We represent clients seeking to enforce agreements as well as clients defending against contract claims.

PROPERTY DISPUTES

Property disputes can involve substantial financial and personal interests.

We represent clients in disputes involving ownership, boundaries, use of property, leases, property damage, real estate agreements and other property related claims.

INSURANCE CLAIMS & DISPUTES

When an insurance company denies, delays, or underpays a claim, you may have options.

Insurance disputes can involve coverage, exclusions, valuation, causation, bad faith issues and the interpretation of policy language.

We help clients evaluate and pursue insurance related claims.

SUCCESSION & ESTATE DISPUTES

The death of a family member can become even more difficult when heirs disagree about an estate.

We represent clients in contested successions, probate matters, disputes involving wills and testamentary documents, property disputes, and other estate litigation.

WILLS & TESTAMENTARY DISPUTE

Questions concerning the validity, interpretation or execution of a will can have significant consequences for heirs and beneficiaries.

When a will is contested, careful attention to the evidence and applicable Louisiana law is essential.

GOVERNMENTAL LITIGATION

Shane Romero has substantial experience in representing governmental entities in litigation, as well as dealing with claims against them.

He has served as special legal counsel to Iberia Parish Government and has represented governmental entities in state and federal court in matters involving personal injury, wrongful death, premises liability, train accidents, and roadway and bridge design claims.

That experience provides a value understanding of how complex claims involving governmental entities are evaluated.

LAND & REAL ESTATE DISPUTES

Real estate disputes can involve ownership rights, contracts, leases, boundaries, use restrictions, damages, and competing claims to property.

When significant property interests are involved, the legal and financial consequences can be substantial.

YOU HAVE A DISPUTE.  NOW WHAT?

Don’t Let the Other Side Control the Outcome.

A simple dispute can start with something that seems simple:

A contract isn’t honored.

An insurance company refuses to pay.

A business partner takes money or property.

A neighbor’s actions damage your property.

An estate becomes contested.

Someone claims you owe them money.

A governmental entity has significant claims.

What happens next can determine whether the dispute costs you thousands – or potentially much more.

The earlier you have the situation evaluated, the more options you may have.

CIVIL LITIGATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT GOING TO COURT.

It’s About Building Leverage Before You Get There.

The strongest litigation strategy begins long before trial.

We evaluate the facts, identify the legal issues, determine what evidence matters, and develop a strategy designed to protect your interests.
