Craig Leydecker has spent more than 20 years fighting for injured victims throughout Louisiana, building a reputation for creative case strategy, skilled trial work, and the kind of personal attention that makes a real difference when it matters most. A New Orleans native, Craig brings a deep understanding of this community and its people to every case he takes.
Craig attended Jesuit High School before going on to Louisiana State University and earning his Juris Doctor from Loyola University School of Law. In 1998, he joined his father Gerald Leydecker, one of the pioneers of personal injury law in the New Orleans area, and has been advocating for injured clients ever since. Following in his father’s footsteps, Craig built a practice rooted in the belief that every client deserves to be treated with genuine care, compassion, and respect.
What sets Craig apart is the perspective he brings to his work. In addition to his legal career, he has acted in local film and television productions, performed with the New Orleans Opera, and appeared in local sketch comedy. That experience, he believes, gives him an uncommon ability to connect with people and understand the full complexity of their lives, something that translates directly into how he represents his clients.
Craig is committed to providing every client with the personal attention and honest counsel they deserve, from the first conversation through the resolution of their case.
Outside of the office, Craig is deeply connected to the culture and community of New Orleans and remains actively involved in the city he has called home his entire life.
