I'm an actual client of Loyd J Bourgeois, LLC. I was referred to him by my injury lawyer when I suffered multiple injuries due to an accident. They help me with my Social Security Disability claim. They did everything for me. I didn't have to go to SSA office. Christy, the paralegal that was assigned to me was very helpful. She always reach out to me for any status or news on my case. They always explained what's going on or what to expect.
They advised me what to do next. I just stayed put and waited at home. Finally i saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to them, I finally got the help I needed. I highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you LJB, LLC Family for all the help.

I had a complication with a medical procedure and even though the office was not technically able to help me, Christy was very knowledgeable and helpful about my situation. She was able to make suggestions that assisted me with the difficulties I was having medically and also able suggest steps I could take to preserve evidence of potential error by the doctor. Thanks for everything!

Christy Crotwell and India were absolutely wonderful! Attorney Charlie Chauvin referred me to their office. I had to apply for social security disability and I contacted them from my hospital bed. They walked me thru the process, and were very kind and patient during my hospitalization and recovery. They kept me informed and answered any questions I had promptly. Fortunately, once I was able to return all the necessary paperwork my disability was approved in just a few weeks. ( I was advised it could take longer). I would highly recommend working with Christy and her team.
