Jurgens points to his mentor, Guy Lyman, who he becameacquainted with while attending social events at Lyman’s homeyears ago. Jurgens’ admiration of the Garden District houseeventually led to him buying it and moving his family there.
Often, relationships cultivated away from the office helplawyers succeed inside it, Jurgens said.
“Guy Lyman was a wonderful mentor,” he said. “He taughtme all the things you don’t learn in law school, which is prettymuch everything.”
Jurgens tries to bring that same mentality into the King, Krebsand Jurgens law firm, which employs 35 attorneys.
“We’re not nine-to-five lawyers,” Jurgens said. “We do whatit takes to represent the client completely.
“Winston Churchill once said, ‘Doing your best is notenough; it’s doing what’s necessary.’”
Jurgens said his team is able to combine the aspects oflarge and small firms, taking on big projects but remainingsmall enough so that clients don’t get bounced from onelawyer to another.
Jurgens’ litigation practice has resulted in more than 25favorable published opinions rendered by the U.S. FifthCircuit Court of Appeals. Highlights include successfullyrepresenting a national oil company in the recovery of anon-operating partners’ share of plug and abandonmentexpenses, and successfully representing national oil compa-nies and contractors in litigation emanating from an oil andgas well blow-out.
As a landowner in Louisiana, Jurgens said oil and naturalresources also have a big impact on his family and property. Thefact that these cases permeate his life as well as his professioncontributes to his expertise in the industry.
