Community Involvement

Rooted in the Communities We Serve

Maples, Connick & Brendel was built in the Gulf South — and we have never forgotten that the people of New Orleans, Mobile, and Atlanta are not just our clients. They are our neighbors, our kids’ classmates’ parents, the small business owners we grab lunch from, and the volunteers we stand next to on a Saturday morning.

We believe a law firm has a responsibility that goes beyond the courtroom. The same communities that trust us with their cases deserve our time, our resources, and our advocacy when the courtroom doors are closed for the day.

Where We Show Up

Local Sponsorships and Causes

From youth athletic leagues to school fundraisers to community festivals, we believe strong communities are built by the people who show up for them. We are proud to support local organizations, athletic programs, and events throughout Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia that bring people together and invest in the next generation.

Charitable Giving

Each year, the firm directs a portion of its proceeds to charitable and community organizations serving families across the Gulf South. Our team is proud to support causes involving children’s healthcare, disaster relief, food insecurity, veterans’ services, and local community outreach efforts — particularly organizations making a direct impact in the cities we call home.

Bar Service and Mentorship

Our attorneys are active members of the Louisiana State Bar Association, Alabama State Bar, Georgia State Bar, local trial lawyer associations, and national plaintiff advocacy organizations. Beyond handling cases, we believe in investing in the profession itself through mentorship, continuing legal education, and service within the legal community.

Disaster Response

The Gulf South understands hurricanes, floods, and the long road to recovery that follows. When disaster affects our communities, our team believes lawyers should do more than advertise — they should help. Whether assisting families with storm-related insurance disputes, supporting local relief efforts, or volunteering time and resources where needed, we are committed to standing beside our communities when they need it most.
