Blase’s Story: From the Ballfield to the Courtroom

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a professional baseball player — not an attorney.

But like most teenage boys, reality eventually stepped up to the plate. I needed a career that would pay the bills, and baseball wasn’t going to do that.

So I chose law school — not because I had a lifelong dream of being a lawyer, but because I wanted to make an honest living without compromising my beliefs.

After graduating from LSU Law, I began my career defending a local insurance company in car accident cases. It didn’t take long to learn the playbook: insurance companies have strategies designed to protect their bottom line — often by minimizing what injured people receive. And honestly, I couldn’t blame them. We all want to keep as much of our money as we can.

I also saw the other side — people who exaggerated claims, which made insurers even more aggressive. That experience taught me how complicated and human this system really is.

In 2008, chasing a bit of adventure, my wife and I packed up and moved to Arizona, where I joined a prominent insurance defense firm specializing in catastrophic trucking accidents. That’s where I learned that truck cases are a different game entirely — and that not every lawyer is equipped to handle them.

In 2011, we came home to Louisiana to be near family and start one of life’s biggest adventures: raising one of our own. Over the years, that “one” turned into five incredible kids — and with them, a constant reminder of why family means everything.

I joined a national firm with more than 900 lawyers, defending some of the largest insurers and corporations in the country. It sharpened my understanding of how the other side thinks — and how to beat them at their own game.

By 2014, I was ready to take a new swing. I opened my own law firm with one goal: to show my kids that hard work, honesty, and doing the right thing can still lead to success.

Today, my wife Erica and I focus exclusively on helping injury victims rebuild after life-changing accidents. I use the same strategies I once saw from the inside — but now, I use them for people, not against them. Helping families get back on their feet is far more rewarding than protecting an insurance company’s profits.

And that’s just my day job. After hours, I’m usually fighting a different kind of battle — running kids to baseball practice, dance class, or a weekend tournament, cheering from the bleachers, or coaching from the sidelines.

When we finally make it home, the action doesn’t stop — there are still cartoon villains to conquer, Lego bandits to chase down, little brothers who “accidentally” destroyed their sister’s art project, and the never-ending task of managing the mess they all leave behind.  But I would not change a thing!
