Firm Overview

Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards, L.L.C. was established in 1957. However our roots go back much further. James Domengeaux founded the firm during the depression years of the 1930s. He later served two terms in the United States Congress and went on to found the internationally recognized Counsel for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL).

Today, Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards, L.L.C. is one of the leading maritime law firms in the state of Louisiana. Bringing together some of Louisiana's top legal talent, we are committed to providing uncompromising legal representation to workers injured in the oil and gas industries, maritime industry, as well as people who suffer personal injuries in Louisiana motor vehicle accidents.

The firm has earned the highest peer-reviewed rating for professionals from the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. This rating is also held by the two senior attorneys, Bob F. Wright and James P. Roy, who are both past presidents of the Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association and are listed in the peer-selected "Best Lawyers in America" in the areas of maritime law and personal injury litigation. Bob and Jim have also been inducted as fellows in the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (limited to a maximum of 500 plaintiff and defense lawyers in North America). In addition, the firm is recognized by Martindale-Hubbell in its Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers.

While our firm has developed into one of the leading maritime law firms in the state of Louisiana, we have never lost the commitment to the community and public services that is part of James Domengeaux's legacy. Our attorneys are actively involved in numerous community and charitable organizations including, Performing Arts Society of Acadiana, L.S.U. Athletics and Foundation, Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, and Boy Scouts. Our firm has also sponsored numerous athletic teams for children and adults. In addition, we are proud to have sponsored the Fraternal Order of Police Policeman of the Year Award for more than fifteen years.
