JOHN GINART GINART & ASSOCIATES TRIAL LAWYERS

Be

Growing up in an extremely close-knit , compassionate family , John Ginart was instilled with meaningful and altruistic lessons as a young boy . He learned that the most important things in life are family , friends and community , and that lending a hand when someone is in need is simply the right thing to do . And his mother Alice , an avid dog lover , taught him that a home is not complete without the companionship of a dog . “ There ’ s just something about a dog ’ s unconditional love that can ’ t be matched . When you have a bad day , they ’ re there to pick you up and there ’ s always someone there to love you . And , even when they get upset with you , they quickly forget about it ,” he explains .

Today , the 28-year-old newlywed ( married to his sweetheart Ashley last April ) has a gregarious 9-year-old , “ happy-go-lucky ” Havanese named Audrey , who has never met a stranger . “ Audrey loves everyone and just wants to cuddle ,” John states . She has full run of the house and is spoiled rotten , but we wouldn ’ t have it any other way .” in S

As if a budding law career and new marriage were not enough to juggle , John is also discovering his way around fatherhood . He and Ashley are proud parents to 9-year-old Averi and 4-month-old Michael Arthur , named after John ’ s father Mike Ginart , who co-founded the law firm in 1989 , then known as Tonry and Ginart . “ Audrey is great with the baby . She sits by his side when he naps and he seems to be fine with her as well , until she licks him across his face . He ’ s not a fan of puppy kisses just yet ,” he chuckles .
John was raised in a family who loves helping people and supporting their community . I ’ m blessed to have an amazing family and with my dad , I ’ m twice as blessed to have him as a role model both personally and professionally .”
Ginart & Associates is a general practice law firm with an emphasis on personal injury , medical malpractice and maritime law . “ It doesn ’ t matter if it ’ s a small or large claim , we put our hearts into every case we take on . The firm handles wills for teachers , firemen [ his late grandfather was a St . Bernard Parish firefighter ] and police officers free of charge . “ It ’ s our way to give back to those who help others in the community .” The one thing they don ’ t handle is tax law . “ Because you don ’ t mess with Uncle Sam !”
When it comes to our fur babies , John sums it up best . “ No matter what walk of life you come from , we all deserve to have companionships , and dogs provide that with no strings attached . They just want to give love and be loved back .”
