Career

Jeff Richardson represents clients in litigation, especially class actions and complex litigation. A major emphasis of Jeff’s practice is appellate litigation, where he has substantial experience sifting through complex trial court records to select the focus of the briefs and oral argument. Jeff is an Appellate Practice Specialist, certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization, and he is frequently asked to teach other attorneys on the intricacies of appellate procedure and strategy in litigation. He also serves as the Chair of the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization Appellate Practice Advisory Commission.

Whether arguing the complex case-dispositive motions at the trial court level or representing a client in an appeal, Jeff crafts the best argument to catch the judge’s attention and turn the decision his client’s way. His appellate work often begins at the trial court level when clients ask Jeff to join their existing trial counsel to best position the case for an eventual appeal and then to represent them on appeal. Jeff also has experience considering the defense of litigation from the client side because one of Jeff’s clients, a New York-based Fortune 25 company, hired him to serve as visiting in-house counsel, working on a variety of complex class action and tort cases.

In 2008, Jeff created iPhoneJD.com, the oldest and largest website for attorneys who use iPhones and iPads. Jeff writes about the ways lawyers can employ technology most productively in their work. With tens of thousands of readers, he’s well known for sharing his knowledge with attorneys around the country and the world. His blog has frequently been named the best legal technology website, and the ABA Journal made iPhone J.D. part of its Blawg Hall of Fame.
