When the oil boom was happening, which lawyers were making the most money?

One of the same firms just made a boatload for the state over wetlands destruction.

Also got JBE elected twice.

I knew a guy who sustained some injury and his dad was killed offshore, in the early 80's,. He got paid like ole Tom in Office Space. Bought a Vette, a truck, and a couple of boats. I rode with him to Piggly Wiggly, on the 4th of July. He bought all of the meat they had for our Lake D'Arbonne cookout. He bought another guys a Vette and let him make payments. Pretty sure he ran through the money that year.

I'm talking Louisiana lawyers

Serious answer is that all the big name attorneys you see during the Saints and LSU games are probably all the ones OP is talking about. Just look up all the main contributors to GUMBOPAC and OP will have his answer. Them baws ain’t giving up that cash cow anytime soon.

People forget about how many people live of the oil industry in Louisiana. On here it’s just truck nuts and red necks but so many businesses closed during the last downturn. Restaurants, hotels, transportation, etc.

Interesting how it’s a sad violin playing here for the restaurant workers that can’t work for 2-4 weeks bc of coronavirus but no one gave a frick about them when oil crashed
