John Creevy

John Creevy is an attorney at Herman, Katz, Gisleson & Cain in New Orleans who handles cases for plaintiffs and defendants. Creevy’s practice includes personal injury, construction litigation, property litigation, business disputes, class actions, pharmaceutical class actions, Multi-District Litigation, and civil rights cases. His work therefore spans both individual claims and complex proceedings involving businesses, groups of claimants, significant discovery, and coordinated litigation in state and federal courts.

Creevy earned a J.D. from Loyola University School of Law in 2007, graduating magna cum laude, after completing undergraduate study at Georgetown University. His professional biography also notes a business and accounting background, including work as a Certified Public Accountant with Arthur Andersen in Washington, D.C. and service as controller for a group of automotive parts manufacturing and service companies in Northern Virginia.

That financial and operational experience complements his litigation practice. Creevy is able to draw on accounting, business, and management concepts when cases involve economic loss, business records, construction issues, commercial disputes, or class-wide damages. His case mix also includes personal injury and civil rights matters, requiring him to evaluate liability, damages, discovery, expert evidence, and procedural strategy across different types of claims and client needs.

John Creevy also serves on the Finance Committee of the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity. Creevy’s combination of legal, accounting, and business experience supports a practical approach to complex civil litigation. He helps clients organize factual and financial records, assess litigation risk, develop claims or defenses, and move disputes through discovery, motion practice, settlement discussions, and trial preparation with attention to both legal and economic consequences.
