About Justin McCarthy
Justin McCarthy Chopin built his legal foundation at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, earning his law degree in 2007. He moved quickly from graduation into membership with the Louisiana State Bar that same year. Since then he has expanded his license to include Mississippi and Texas, creating a practice that crosses state lines.
Early in his career he worked in roles that brought him close to courtroom calendars and client files. Those years taught him how to manage competing deadlines and explain complex issues so clients could make informed choices. He then established The Chopin Law Office, where he has practiced for many years. The decision to open his own office allowed him to shape a daily practice around client needs and procedural efficiency.
Mr. Chopin’s professional affiliations include longstanding membership in the Louisiana State Bar, a connection he has maintained since 2007. That membership underpins his work in Louisiana and informs how he approaches state-level practice. He is also admitted in Mississippi and Texas, which means he represents clients across a wider regional footprint. He maintains the regulatory relationships necessary to practice in each jurisdiction he serves.
His workday typically combines court appearances, client consultations, and the drafting and negotiation of legal documents. He handles matters that require an understanding of differing state rules. This often involves coordinating filings and hearings in multiple courts and explaining to clients how procedures vary from one state to another. He approaches each matter by identifying practical steps that move cases forward while keeping clients informed about options and likely outcomes.
Colleagues describe him as straightforward in negotiations and methodical in preparing for hearings. He prefers clear planning over last-minute strategy. Outside the courtroom he focuses on maintaining the administrative and ethical standards required by the bars where he is admitted. He has kept an active role in practice management since opening his firm.
Today he continues to lead The Chopin Law Office. He represents clients in matters across Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, handling multi-jurisdictional issues and routine filings alike. His current practice centers on delivering legal services to clients across those three states.
