Strauss Massey Dinneen is pleased to announce that member Robin Cassedy is featured in the 2024 Women to Watch issue of Biz New Orleans Magazine.

A dynamic and client-conscious attorney, Robin Cassedy has dedicated her law practice at Strauss Massey Dinneen, LLC to the defense of automotive and property insurers, maritime law, and commercial litigation.

A cum laude graduate from Tulane University Law School, Cassedy began her career at the law school’s Domestic Violence Clinic and later served as a clerk for Chief Judge Thibodeaux of the Louisiana Third Circuit Court of Appeal, gaining the firsthand experience necessary to represent clients from all backgrounds.

“Insurance defense in Louisiana is constantly evolving and presents unique issues,” says Cassedy. “My firm handled a huge docket of cases arising from the Hurricanes in 2020 & 2021. Many of these cases involve allegations of bad faith; a prevalent issue in recent years.”

A 2023 CityBusiness Leadership in Law and 2024 Best Lawyers in America: One to Watch, Cassedy prides herself on great relationships with her clients and the ability to prepare them for any eventuality.

“Our work often involves defending drivers who were in auto accidents, which can be rewarding,” says Cassedy. “Many clients in these cases have never been defendants in the judicial system before and being served notice can be unnerving. My job is to make sure they understand what is happening, walk them through the litigation process, and try to get the best possible outcome.”

Cassedy is also an active member of her community, serving as a board member of the Tulane University Inn of Court and director of that organization’s mentorship program, which pairs law students with practicians in their chosen practice of law. Cassedy is also a Member and Secretary for the New Orleans Official Liverpool Supporters Club.
