Why Work For Us

We are the premiere property casualty firm in the country and just so happen to be based in Metairie, Louisiana. We have offices all over the country and frequently are featured as thought leaders in this space. If you are already in property casualty, join a winning team - not some team that will shut down its property casualty practice as soon as Ida is over. If you aren't in property casualty, we will teach you. We literally wrote the book on it.

At Hair Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, we take a real approach. We are innovative, always finding ways to be better, and have a go-getter mentality across the board. Each team member plays a critical role in our mission. We know our people are what makes us great. If you're looking for a career where you can help make a difference in the lives of others alongside a supportive team, we look forward to reviewing your resume!

What We Value
  • Client Commitment
  • Integrity
  • A Will to Win
  • Teamwork
  • Personal Accountability
  • Passion
