W
ith close to 80 years of combined experience, Pujol, Pryor & Irwin The Litigation Firm proudly provides diverse litigation services while also supporting Ascension Parish and the surrounding areas in many ways. Pujol, Pryor & Irwin is an AV rated firm with MartindaleHubbell which is the highest rating given to a law firm by its peers on the merit of competency and ethics. The firm represents clients, both commercial and individual, including business advice and litigation, successions and succession litigation, insurance defense, criminal defense, and personal injury litigation. The firm, started in 2003 with Matthew Pryor and Tim Pujol, grew in 2012 with the addition of Barbara Irwin, and now has five attorneys total after the latest addition of two associate attorneys. “We take pride in bringing our expertise on complex matters for the parish businesses and residents,” says Pryor. During the pandemic, Pujol, Pryor & Irwin was able to quickly pivot in order to continue serving those in need. “Having already had the ability to work from home in place through our cloudbased system, PP&I was able to transition and maintain our services to our clients through the COVID-19 pandemic. While this form of providing legal services remotely to clients was certainly a transition, we are very proud of the resilience our attorneys and staff showed over this past year. Now that the Courts are reopening and the work continues, we are more committed than ever to protecting and fighting for our clients, whether it be in person or by remote participation,” says Barbara Irwin, The Litigation Firm partner.
While all three partner attorneys practice in Ascension Parish, their work in the parish goes beyond litigation. “We are all very active in supporting Ascension Parish and enjoy serving on various volunteer leadership and advisory boards within the parish such as Rotary Club, the Ascension Chamber, and Ascension Parish Schools,” says Pryor. Both Pryor and Pujol served as Rotary Club Board President and Pryor and Irwin are both Past Chairmen of the Ascension Chamber. Pujol has been an elected member from the 23rd JDC to the LSBA House of Delegates and has served on the liaison committee for the State bar’s Board of Governors. He is also a past President of the 23rd JDC Bar Association. When looking to the future for Pujol, Pryor & Irwin, the overall focus remains
