John H. Carmouche

John H. Carmouche is the senior partner and firm manager at the law firm of Talbot, Carmouche & Marcello. He has collected numerous multi-million settlements on behalf of victims of corporate negligence. As the firm’s lead trial attorney, his fight against global oil companies to restore the coast of Louisiana has positioned Talbot, Carmouche & Marcello as one of the top plaintiffs’ law firms in Louisiana.

John has over 30 years of civil trial experience and specializes in fighting corporations in discovery and trial. He recently obtained a $52,000,000 jury verdict against Shell Oil Company for polluting the soil and drinking water of property located in Cameron Parish.

Under John’s leadership, the firm has built a reputation for excellence in complex environmental and energy disputes, including Legacy litigation and our coastal litigation cases. These cases—involving extraordinarily complex laws and legal strategy—require discipline, technical fluency, and trial readiness, all hallmarks of John’s approach.

John also handled the “sinkhole” litigation, an environmental disaster, in Assumption Parish as the lead litigator against some of the world’s largest insurance companies and corporations. He settled a lawsuit for over $90 million and negotiated many other multi-million dollar settlements.

Decades of legal experience has allowed John to be a strong advocate for his clients. He has carried that over as a fighter for the people. He previously served as Chairman of the Board of the Donaldsonville Marine Institute, which helps educate troubled youth so they can have a different life. John also served on the board of Prevent Child Abuse. Currently, he serves on the board of Hunters for the Hungry and as a member of the LSU Board of Supervisors. In his capacity on the LSU board John serves on several committees including the Executive Committee and Chair of the Athletics Committee.

John is a native of Napoleonville, Louisiana, and is a devoted husband and father of four children.
