Former Morgan City attorney Larry K. Burleigh Sr. has been selected by his peers for inclusion in the 2008 edition of “The Best Lawyers in America,” his 20th consecutive appearance in the respected publication. Burleigh was also named a Top 50 Super Lawyer in the 2008 edition of the prestigious law journal “Louisiana Super Lawyers.”
Burleigh, who now practices in Lafayette, is one of only three local attorneys to be consistently named in “The Best Lawyers in America” in maritime law and personal injury litigation since the esteemed listing was first published 25 years ago. The annual publication is widely regarded – by both the legal profession and the public – as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States.
Originally from Jeanerette, Burleigh began his law practice in Morgan City, where he still has a client base, and relocated his firm to Lafayette in the early 1990s. His specialty is maritime personal injury, automobile and products liability litigation.
A graduate of UL Lafayette and Loyola University, Burleigh frequently appears as a guest lecturer at seminars and has taught courses at Duke University and Harvard Law School.
