About Lance Unglesby
Lance Unglesby started his career as a public defender in New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina. The office was decimated after Katrina, and at the time, the New Orleans Police Department was known for its corruption. The public defenders’ office was in dire need of top trial lawyers and, just as important, someone who was willing to bring awareness to and fight the corrupted system. Lance Unglesby is an attorney at Unglesby Law Firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, representing clients in criminal defense matters throughout Louisiana state and federal courts.
Proven verdicts and settlements
David Stauder Jr., a union pipefitter, was exposed to asbestos at Louisiana industrial plants including Union Carbide's facility in Taft through the 1960s and 1970s. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in his seventies and died within two months, on April 30, 2015. His two daughters tried the case against Union Carbide, the last defendant standing, and in December 2021 a New Orleans jury returned $10,354,620.31 and assigned Union Carbide 20 percent of the fault. The judgment against it came to about $6.19 million, and it survived two rounds in the Fourth Circuit and a Louisiana Supreme Court vacatur before the writ was finally denied in April 2025.
