Peer-reviewed honor recognizes continued excellence for Bourgeois and first-time recognition for Lassalle
Loyd J Bourgeois Injury & Accident Lawyer (LJBLegal) announces that New Orleans car accident lawyers Loyd Bourgeois and Jerry Lassalle have been named to The Best Lawyers in America for the 2026 edition. This marks Lassalle’s first appearance on the prestigious list, while Bourgeois has been recognized every year since 2019, reflecting sustained peer acknowledgment of his legal work.
Peer-Reviewed Recognition
Selection for Best Lawyers honors is based on the organization’s Purely Peer Review® methodology. Attorneys are nominated by others in the legal community and evaluated through confidential reviews by currently recognized lawyers in the same practice area and region. Final honorees are confirmed to be in good standing with their local bar associations before publication.
2026 Best Lawyers by the Numbers
The 2026 edition underscores the exclusivity of the honor:
- Only about 5% of practicing U.S. attorneys earn a Best Lawyers distinction.
- Nearly 30,000 lawyers participated in voting, submitting more than 3.4 million confidential evaluations.
- Honorees include 81,420 lawyers across 151 practice areas and 200+ geographic regions, with 5,068 also named “Lawyer of the Year.”
Professional Recognition with Client Impact
Recognition in The Best Lawyers in America reflects the judgment of professional peers and signals consistent excellence. For clients, it offers a research-based way to identify respected legal counsel beyond online reviews or unverified directories, providing added confidence when selecting representation.
“Being recognized again by Best Lawyers is especially meaningful because it comes directly from peer feedback,” said Loyd Bourgeois, founder of LJBLegal. “I’m equally proud to see Jerry earn his first recognition. His dedication to client service and results truly deserves it.”
“Receiving this honor for the first time is incredibly humbling,” said Jerry Lassalle, attorney at LJBLegal. “It reinforces my commitment to serving clients with care, diligence, and integrity.”
