Charles Abbott Recognized on Forbes’ Inaugural Best-in-State Lawyers List
FormanWatkins is proud to announce that Charles Abbott has been named to Forbes’ inaugural America’s Best-in-State Lawyers list. This recognition highlights Abbott as one of the top legal professionals in Louisiana and across the country.
Abbott has built his practice on the belief that every client defines a “win” differently. From high-stakes commercial disputes to products liability, construction, admiralty, and toxic tort litigation, he works tirelessly to craft personalized strategies that align with his clients’ goals. Since joining the Firm as a partner in 2017, he has been retained as lead or co-counsel in significant, high-dollar cases in state and federal courts throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
“To be recognized by Forbes among so many accomplished attorneys is a privilege,” said Abbott. “While this is a personal honor, it truly speaks to the strength of our team at FormanWatkins. I am proud to work alongside such talented colleagues who share a commitment to excellence and to serving our clients with integrity.”
The Forbes Best-in-State Lawyers list was developed through a year-long evaluation process that included peer nominations, independent research, and review by an advisory board. Out of thousands of attorneys considered nationwide, honorees were selected for their credibility, professional achievements, and client trust.
