Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams Law

James Williams of Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams Law recalled the aftermath of hurricane Katrina “like it was yesterday.” The ensuing caseload from the storm was extremely heavy on the Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams law firm. “We made a conscious decision at Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams Law not to file any sort of class action, but rather take it case-by-case through the court system.” said James Williams. According to the Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams partner it made “more work for us yet guaranteed our clients a better settlement.” According to James Williams of Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams Law, all but one case was settled out of court. The only case that went to jury trial the jury returned and, according to the Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams lawyer “awarded our client well over what we were asking in damages.”
