NOWALSKY & GOTHARD

GENERAL PRACTICE ATTORNEYS

When was the last time you saw a television ad for an attorney? Probably the last time you watched local television. But when was the last time you saw an ad for general practice attorneys, providing old fashioned service, at reasonable rates? Probably never.

Our attorneys have collectively practiced law in Metairie and New Orleans for over one hundred years! We were all trained by seasoned attorneys to competently and ethically represent our clients. We carry on this tradition by providing personalized, high quality legal services for families and individuals for a variety of needs.

Clients have often said “I’ve been knowing I need a will” or “I know my parents need Powers of Attorney.” But they didn’t know where to turn. They were intimidated by the process. And they were afraid of the cost. We try to make general legal needs easy to understand, and produce high quality work at fair and reasonable prices. We never try to “sell” you services or packages which you do not need, and we explain what the cost will be before you make any decisions. That’s why we are proud to be the trusted counsel to generations of families, from New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, St. Tammany, the northshore, and the River Parishes.

Our General Practice Legal Services Include:

Wills
Powers of Attorney
Living Wills
Successions
Homeowner’s Insurance Issues and Claims

General Notarial Services
Motor Vehicle Bills of Sale or Acts of Donation
Review of Employment Separation Agreements
Drafting or review of Residential Leases

“Mr. Gothard was personable, professional, organized, confident, and reassuring as he handled my case after my car was wiped off the road by another driver, who then presumed innocence! I would certainly recommend him and encourage others to get Mr. Gothard on your case as soon as possible, as he was extremely helpful in guiding me through all sorts of issues to consider in the immediate aftermath of my accident. It was so reassuring to know that Mr. Gothard was in my corner.”

“Eddie Gothard is the only attorney I will ever use. He has handled two cases for me, both with great care, and great results. Eddie handled my cases like he was representing his own family, showing true concern, putting forth the extra effort, and always giving me the right council.
Eddie handled my cases seriously but has a great personality and makes these difficult circumstances manageable. Eddie makes you feel at ease, knowing you are in very trustworthy and capable hands.
I highly recommend Eddie to my friends and family, and he is always my first call when I have any legal questions!
Eddie, thanks for all of your hard work!”

Harold Pesses
“From the moment Eddie Gothard agreed to take my complicated medical malpractice case, he lifted a great emotional burden off my shoulders. He pressed and pursued the incompetent doctor all the way to the Louisiana Supreme court to ultimately win my case and find the justice I wanted. I am lucky Eddie was my legal advocate!”

“
Jessica Greenberg
“Edward Gothard handled my case when I was hit and injured in an automobile accident. The other party admitted fault, but their insurance company was very difficult to deal with. This led me to reach out to Mr. Gothard, who dealt with the other party and their insurance to get me the settlement I deserved.
I highly recommend Edward Gothard of Nowalsky & Gothard Law Practice. The minute he stepped in, my case was handled efficiently. I cannot thank Mr. Gothard enough for his continued help and support!”

“Mr Pontoppidan processed our Will with the full understanding of needs. He is very thorough in putting our goals into legal terms. His attention and response to our needs were timely with the full support of his professional staff. We also plan to continue to engage Mr Henrik on all our business matters. We feel very comfortable that he has listened and re-listened to our needs, and thoroughly vetted out any other legal issues in solving our problems. We will engage his services from now on.”

“Henrik was the attorney on my mom's succession. He explained the Succession process to me and was able to quickly open the succession & get me appointed administrator so that I could sell the mobility van, so we didn't have to keep paying the notes or insurance on it. The rest of the work went smoothly. He kept all of us (me & my 3 siblings) informed along the way. He was also able to arrange a partial distribution of funds while we were waiting on another company to process their paperwork. The price charged was very fair. Great communications. I highly recommend him!”
