Richard F. Zimmerman III

Richie has been inducted into the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States.  Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.  Less than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.  In 2012, The National Trial Lawyers Association selected Richie to be named as one of the Top 40 Under 40 trial lawyers.   

Since joining the firm, Richie's law practice has been focused on ensuring that anyone who has been injured gets the maximum recovery, whether that comes through trial or settlement.  Richie has represented individuals and their loved ones in wrongful death suits, car wrecks, 18 wheeler crashes, drunken driving accidents, industrial accidents, motorcycle crashes, and many more.  Richie has helped clients suffering with serious neck and back injuries, herniated and bulging discs, spinal injuries, brain damage, broken bones, scarring, and many others.  He has represented clients throughout the state of Louisiana including areas such as Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Alexandria, New Orleans, Morgan City, Abbeville, Gonzales, Prairieville, Metairie, and Houma.

Richie is married to Leigh Buchanan Zimmerman and they have three children.  They are active members of St. Thomas More Catholic Church.  When not practicing law, Richie also enjoys boating, fishing, hunting (manages Cypress Point Hunting Lodge in Clayton, Louisiana), and of course LSU Football!
