Alan L. Schwartzberg
Partner

Alan was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1952. Growing up in New Orleans as the grandchild of an attorney left a lasting impression on Alan. As a young boy, he would visit his grandfather's office and always dreamed of the day he might be an attorney, helping people just as his grandfather did. Justice and making sure that the right thing was done were central lessons imparted to Alan as a young child. Henry Jacobs was well known throughout the entire City of New Orleans, respected and admired by all.

Growing up, Alan participated in normal activities such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, hunting and fishing. He got his first part time job at age 12, working at a grocery store, then afterwards, an automobile service station. The life lessons Alan learned as a hardworking teenager have stayed with him and shaped his work ethic and strengthened his desire to assist those less fortunate.

After graduating from Jesuit High School, Alan enrolled at LSU. He put himself through law school while working at the school library. In 1974, he earned a Bachelor of Science from the College of Business Administration and Economics and graduated with a law degree in 1976, from LSU. At age 24, law degree in hand, Alan plunged into the practice of law.

As a young lawyer in Baton Rouge, Alan practiced criminal, family, bankruptcy, business and personal injury law. After several years of this multi faceted general practice, he was able to narrow his professional work to personal injury. For the last 25 years, he has almost exclusively handled automobile accidents large and small, industrial accidents, offshore accidents, products liability, premises liability and environmental cases. Alan has personally concluded more than 6,500 cases and has tried to verdict hundreds of cases.

He finds great pleasure in representing regular folks in their claims against large corporate giants. More than 30 years on in practice, Alan still enjoys representing victims and their families, receiving tremendous satisfaction from his part in helping them achieve full compensation for their injuries.

Alan has three children and hopes that one or more will follow in his professional footsteps. He has a great love for the outdoors and enjoys varied agriculture pursuits, such as tending to his citrus and other fruit trees. He grows hay for the horses he keeps. Away from the land, his favorite pursuits are scuba and skin diving. Alan has been on dives all over the Gulf and at different locales around the world. He also enjoys fishing, including spear fishing, when he has a spare moment, which is not nearly often enough.
