Trichell Law Firm

W SECURED: TLF HITS $1,244,000 HOMERUN 🐰

Court of Appeal just AFFIRMED jury verdict won 2 years ago by TLF on behalf of super deserving client. This was litigation blueprint of defendants ➡️

2019: Severely injure young man through negligence
2020: Deny liability and claim plaintiff isn’t hurt
2021: Stalk plaintiff, call him a liar, and harass pregnant wife
2022: Offer young man $2,750 (when medical bills > $180k)
2023: Lose ~$1M at trial after telling jury to award $0
2024: File motion asking judge to toss jury’s verdict (denied)
2024: File motion for new trial (denied)
2024: File suit against PLAINTIFF alleging fraud (dismissed)
2024: Appeal jury’s verdict to 1st Circuit Court of Appeal
2025: File brief then beg appellate court to overturn verdict
2025: LOSE AGAIN (increase verdict by ~$290k in interest)

Next time you hear someone argue that plaintiff attorneys are responsible for so much frivolous litigation, remember this case. Though these stories don’t make the headlines, the truth is that massive majority of needless and costly litigation is caused by defendants/insurers.

But today, TLF is proud as hell to remind them “it ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun!” 💥 ☠️

“I love my family. I love my job. I love LSU. And I love Louisiana and Baton Rouge. I will never, ever leave this place,” said attorney Chase Trichell, after it was revealed last Friday that Trichell Law Firm had been ranked #2 in the LSU100 fastest-growing businesses owned by Tiger alums. Trichell continued, “To be recognized by the institution responsible for the color of my blood is one of the greatest honors of my career. I hardly feel worthy of this achievement, but I will cherish it for a lifetime all the same. Geaux Tigers!” 🐅

Six years ago, Chase Trichell took everything he had and bet it all on himself. Barely 30 years old, Chase founded and began operating Trichell Law Firm with nearly no cash, no help, no employees, and (almost) no chance. Almost…

But TLF is proof that victory can be ripped from the jaws of defeat. Fast forward to 2024. Rent has become ownership. One employee has become nearly 10. We now provide full benefits. We constantly donate time and money to worthy causes. We accept tons of pro bono work and always fight for underdogs. We employ students and interns at all times. We started a law school scholarship for people from single-parent households. We are growing and doing everything the right way, because The People always come first in our system. That will always be our business model.

TLF thanks everyone who had a hand in helping us reach #2 in the LSU💯. But to be honest, we are just getting warmed up! 🚀
