The Forstall Difference

Big-firm power.
Family-firm heart.

01

A family standard, not a call center

You will work with a highly trained team of attorneys, paralegals and assistants. Chip and Jonathan oversee every case, keep everyone accountable, and you can reach them at any point in your case.

02

The resources of a large firm

Accident reconstruction, medical experts, and the resources to take any insurance company all the way to trial when that is what your case requires.

03

You owe nothing unless we win

There is no fee and there are no costs up front. We are paid only when we recover compensation for you.

04

New Orleans is home

We live and raise our families here, and we know these courts, these judges, and these neighborhoods firsthand.

Our Story

Started by Chip.
Moving forward with Jonathan.

Chip Forstall built this firm on a straightforward promise to his neighbors: treat every client like family, and never back down from a fair fight. For decades since, that same promise has guided how we practice.

Today his son Jonathan carries the firm into its next generation, with the same name on the door and the same commitment in the courtroom. When you hire the Forstalls, you are never simply a case number.

Results That Matter

Real cases. Real recoveries.

A sample of the outcomes we have secured for New Orleans families. Every case is different, and past results never guarantee a future one, but our commitment to each client stays the same.

$4MSettlement

For a family whose loved one was killed in a car accident, leaving four young children.

$3.25MSettlement

For a client injured in a motorcycle accident who required surgery.

$1.5MSettlement

For a rear-end collision that left our client with a traumatic brain injury.

$1.2MSettlement

For a farmer whose hand injury required multiple surgeries to repair.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is evaluated on its own facts.

“Best law firm in New Orleans! Chip and Jonathan helped me on a case when the insurance company didn’t want to pay me anything. They are very professional, personable, treat you like family, and they’re like sharks in the court room. They have the resources of a big firm and the personal touch of a small firm. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an exceptional and trustworthy attorney. Go see them, you won’t regret it!”

“Well it was my first time ever needing a lawyer for anything. I would have to say I had a great experience. Johnathan really took care of me, he made me feel like I’ve known him for years. He kept me up to date often. “I never had to call him about anything as far as status of my case. I was very happy with my settlement. Johnathan got me more money than I was expecting. I would also recommend all my family and friends to the law firm.”

“I had an accident in October 2020 and they handled my case very quickly. I was very happy with the way they treated my case. It wasn’t a severe injury case but it wasn’t put aside for anyone else either. Johnathan was a very honest attorney. He gave me the facts of my case and we got a good settlement. He went above and beyond for me. Thanks team Forstall!”

“I am satisfied and happy to have chosen to work with Chip Forstall and Mrs. Carmen Medine. Throughout the process i have received helpful information and updates about my case. Mrs. Carmen communicated with me and showed me how to stay on track with my case by downloading the app for my case status. I am very happy with the results and have recommended a family member as well. If i ever need a lawyer in the future i would always remember the amazing service they have provided for me and would be a returning customer. Thank you !”

“I was in a terrible car accident the day after thanksgiving in 24. I had no clue where to begin with it being my 1st accident ever in life. Came into the office and spoke with Ms Carmen, she made my experience so easy and put every thing into dummy terms shall I say for me. Hopefully I never have to experience this again but if so I will be back and I recommend trying them out if ever n a bond … thank me later”
