About
Founded 1969
Established in 1969 by Daniel E. Becnel, Jr., the Becnel Law Firm has been a trusted provider of exceptional legal representation for more than four decades. Initially operating as a modest office focused on personal injury claims within the River Parishes, it quickly gained acclaim when Mr. Becnel secured Louisiana's first million-dollar verdict for an individual in 1972. Over time, the firm broadened its scope to tackle high-profile cases including the Luling Ferry Disaster, Eunice train derailment, American Tobacco Company litigation, and the Vioxx drug controversy—achieving hundreds of millions in settlements and awards through numerous mass tort actions. Recently, their efforts have turned towards obtaining justice for those affected by issues like Chinese drywall and the B.P. oil spill disaster. Despite expanding nationally to handle intricate litigations across various sectors, both large and small clients continue to receive personalized legal service reflective of Mr. Becnel’s original vision established over fifty years ago.
