“Hit by a Truck or a Car, Call JR”: Attorney Jeremy Robinson on Great Day Louisiana
GREAT DAY LOUISIANA · New Orleans · May 2026
“Hit by a Truck or a Car, Call JR.”
Attorney Jeremy Robinson, a New Orleans native, Warren Easton High School graduate, and Marine Corps veteran, joined WWL-TV’s Great Day Louisiana this week to introduce The JR Law Group to the Crescent City and talk about what brought him home. Watch the full segment below.
Coming home to New Orleans
Jeremy Robinson is a son of New Orleans. He came up here, went to school here, and after fourteen years of military service (including Operation Iraqi Freedom) and nearly two decades as a practicing attorney, he’s brought the firm he built home.
“The people of New Orleans are resilient. We grew up with the toughest mental strength. I’m New Orleans born and bred.”

JR went on to share that, after time in the Marine Corps and nearly two decades practicing law, he came home to New Orleans, in his own words, “to harvest that difference here.”
That resilience is what shapes the way JR practices law. He believes the people he serves deserve an attorney who will pick up the phone, who will sit across the table and look them in the eye, and who knows the community because he comes from it. As he put it on air: “You never meet a stranger in New Orleans. Everybody talks to everybody.” That neighborly ethic is built into how the firm runs its New Orleans office.
What The JR Law Group handles in Louisiana
The New Orleans office at 650 Poydras Street is in its second year of serving Gulf Coast families, with a practice focused on personal injury:
- Car and truck accidents, including rideshare (Uber and Lyft) and commercial vehicle crashes across Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, East Baton Rouge, and beyond.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims: first-party contract claims against your own carrier when the at-fault driver can’t make you whole.
- Premises liability and slip-and-fall, including merchant cases under La. R.S. 9:2800.6.
- Wrongful death and survival actions under La. Civ. Code arts. 2315.1 and 2315.2.
- Catastrophic injury: traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, and life-altering trauma requiring long-term care.
JR’s pitch is simple, and he wants the community to remember it: “Hit by a truck or a car, call JR.”
Accessible, present, and in the community
One of the themes JR returned to throughout the segment was accessibility: the kind of representation that meets clients where they are rather than asking them to navigate a maze of intake calls to be heard. As he put it on air: “That’s why I’m in New Orleans. I’m here to make a difference.”
The firm’s community work backs that up. JR spoke about Bonnie’s Wish Foundation, which supports breast cancer awareness and cervical cancer treatment by putting resources directly into the hands of the families navigating diagnosis and care. He also spoke about working with local juvenile facilities to mentor young people, offering perspective, encouragement, and a reminder that perseverance pays off.
An optimistic message for Louisiana
“If you can get through a traumatic moment and use that energy to focus on the goal, that’s how you win. Because it’s all energy. If you use that energy for good and not for bad, then you can find a way to succeed.”

That spirit of resilience is, in JR’s words, what makes New Orleans different: “We New Orleansians are resilient. The sky is the limit.”
