Our Lake Charles law firm of Lorenzi & Barnatt was founded in 1990 by an attorney with more than 30 years' experience. We are a small law firm whose lawyers have the sharply honed skills necessary to handle cases with great efficiency and larger cases with poise earned through experience and diligence. When a client's legal problem requires in-depth financial analysis, we turn to our estate planning attorney—even when it's not an estate planning case. When a client's legal questions turn into an active dispute in court, we turn to our founding partner—an experienced trial lawyer. Our clients reap the benefits of this team approach because they have access to a team of attorneys instead of just one lawyer who has to perform every task associated with the case. We respect our clients and their problems. One way we demonstrate that respect is by always giving our clients straight answers to their questions—even when the answer is not going to be good news. Our clients tell us they appreciate our straight-talking philosophy. People come to us with perplexing or frightening legal problems, and they want to know what is actually going to happen. They don't need a lawyer to give them deceptively positive—or deceptively negative—information in an attempt to win them over.
