There’s a good reason Strauss Massey Dinneen LLC has become the face of insurance law in New Orleans – and across the Gulf South. In an area defined by catastrophic losses, high-stakes coverage disputes, and relentless bad-faith exposure, SMD is the firm national insurers trust when the stakes are highest, and the margin for error is zero.
The firm is led by three widely respected senior attorneys. David Strauss is known industry-wide as among the region’s leading insurance bad-faith lawyers, often finding creative, decisive ways to avoid, or win, bet-the-company disputes.
Adam Massey is a strategic thinker with exceptional judgment, whose ability to see around corners regularly results in the early elimination of complex seven- and eight-figure cases on summary judgment. Susan Dinneen is a smart, savvy litigator and mediator, trusted by clients and adversaries alike to resolve disputes efficiently, fairly, and with credibility that carries real weight.
Supporting them is a deep and diverse bench of outstanding lawyers and professionals. In just six years, SMD has grown from six to eighteen lawyers, building a Chambers-ranked litigation boutique known for excellence, speed, and most importantly, results.
