Vincent T. LoCoco, Attorney at Law (1934-2017)

Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Vincent LoCoco counseled  thousands of clients on a range of issues throughout his legal career, that spanned over fifty years. He was the founding partner of Many & LoCoco, which was recognized by Martindale-Hubbell as an AV® Preeminent rated law firm, the highest such possible rating available.

Mr. LoCoco graduated from Jesuit High School in New Orleans in 1952. He attended St. Benedict Seminary in Covington, Louisiana and in 1956, he received his undergraduate degree in philosophy from Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana. During the years 1956 -1958, he was sent by Archbishop Rummel to Rome, Italy to study at the Pontifical North American College. While there, he attended the Gregorian University in Rome, Italy where he obtained a degree in Theology in 1958. After much reflection, Mr. LoCoco left the seminary and pursued a career in law. He received his J.D. degree from Loyola University in 1962, where he was the Associate Editor of the Law Review. He married the former Lynda Goodier, and began his law practice and the raising of his family.

For over twenty years, Mr. LoCoco was the special litigation attorney for the S&WB of New Orleans. He was the co-founder of the Many & LoCoco Law Firm which began in 1967 with the late M. Hepburn Many, a former US Attorney. In 1993, Mr. LoCoco’s son, Vincent B. “Chip” LoCoco, joined the firm. Mr. LoCoco has argued cases in many Courts, including the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Vincent passed away in 2017, and was survived by his wife, Lynda, his three children, and ten grandchildren. His son, Chip LoCoco, continues running the firm to this day.
