Biography

John “Lee” Hoffoss founded Lee Hoffoss Injury Lawyers, in 2010. He focuses his practice primarily on commercial litigation, labor and employment litigation, and personal injury cases, including those involving the Jones Act and maritime law. He has successfully litigated cases ranging from 18-wheeler accidents, to wage and hour litigation, to faulty medical devices. Lee brings more than twenty years of legal experience to the table, and he utilizes his legal acumen to fight for his clients to ensure they receive the justice they deserve.

His willingness to fight can be seen in the results he achieves. Lee has obtained multiple multi-million-dollar payouts for those he represents. In just one of many successful cases, Lee represented patients who had been injured in car accidents against hospitals that engaged in unlawful billing practices. His clients were awarded in excess of $16 million dollars. Lee’s clients haven’t been the only ones to recognize his legal expertise. Lee has been invited to speak at a number of events, including at the 2014 New York CLE on “Private Rights of Action for Statutory Violation.” He has also received many professional accolades and has been selected by his peers for inclusion in the Louisiana Rising Stars list from 2012 to 2016, as well as in the Louisiana Super Lawyers list by Thomson Reuters every year since 2017. He has been named a Young Lawyers Fellow by the ABA GP Solo Division, and received the President’s Award from the Louisiana Association for Justice in 2012. That same year he was selected for inclusion in the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys’ “Top 40 Under 40 Trial Lawyer” list. In 2013, that same organization selected him to receive their “Top 10 Attorney” award.

Of what it’s like to work with Lee Hoffoss, a fellow attorney said, “Lee is a knowledgeable caring lawyer who works to achieve the best possible result for his clients.” – Morris Lilienthal, Personal Injury Attorney
