Our Firm has made a special commitment to support The Good Shepherd School, a downtown New Orleans early-elementary school for children who are at-risk and living below the poverty level. The Good Shepherd School gives these children the opportunity to obtain an education comparable in quality to the top-level New Orleans schools. Partners, associates and staff tutor students, underwrite school events, serve breakfast and lunch to the children, sponsor field trips, host holiday parties, and assist in the day-to-day administrative affairs of the school.
Each attorney at Lemle & Kelleher is committed to serving our communities. While our involvement in various organizations changes each year, we are proud to contribute to the local communities of New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport as well as assisting statewide and national organizations.
