CASES WE HANDLE

  • Asbestos is a mineral used in a variety of construction materials used in Louisiana plants, and has many other uses because of its fireproofing and insulating properties. The danger lies in the microscopic fibers that can be inhaled, which damage the lungs and causes cancers, including Mesothelioma.

    Mesothelioma is an aggressive and deadly form of cancer caused by exposure to Asbestos. It typically takes 10-50 years after exposure for Mesothelioma to form, meaning most confirmed diagnoses are linked to exposure that took place decades ago.

  • Benzene is a dangerous substance used to make rubber, dyes, gasoline and other common goods. Exposure most commonly comes through long-term, low-grade inhalation and has been shown to cause leukemia and other types of cancer. According to the CDC, benzene ranks in the top 20 chemicals for production volume and exposure.

  • Any accident can cause serious and potential life-long impact that can bring enormous physical and mental harm. Injuries are expensive and you should not have to take on the financial burden alone.

    Contact Philip C. Hoffman to help you secure the compensation you deserve for someone else’s negligence.

  • If your home or business was damaged during a hurricane or other type of disaster, you are probably working through the complex process of an insurance claim. Before you proceed any further, you should contact a local Attorney.

    Insurance companies have a duty to pay claims for hurricane, flood or fire damage. Often times, insurance companies are more responsive to collecting your premium vs. reimbursing you for you property damage and loss.

  • Business establishments, stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, hotels and short term rentals all have a duty to protect people on their premises. Ways to protect people are through adequate security, adequate lighting, proper safety railings, proper colored painting and many other options. Businesses must take reasonable steps to ensure all are safe on their premise.

  • Toxic chemical exposures can cause birth defects, developmental delays and pediatric cancers. Medical issues can occur after exposure to harmful chemicals on a job site, residential proximity to a dangerous job site or via harmful pharmaceuticals.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?

  • “Phil has been great to work with and has done an amazing job on my uncle’s case. From our first conversation on, Phil did a great job communicating with me, setting/managing expectations, and following through on his word.

    I really can’t speak highly enough of the work Phil has done and the amount of effort he has put into this case. He truly went above and beyond my expectations!

    Hopefully, I will never again have a reason to hire an asbestos attorney in Louisiana (or anywhere else), but if I or one of my clients do end up in such a situation, Phil will be my first phone call.”

    – Jonathan M.

  • “As a personal injury attorney, I handle many cases of injured persons. When my client suffered a devastating cancer caused by asbestos, Philip Hoffman met with my client and I. Philip took on this very difficult and complex case, kept both the client and I informed of the progress and after more than two years of litigation, resolved the claim for over $1.3 million dollars. I highly recommend Philip to anyone with a complex cancer case.”

    - Eric L.

  • "Phil recently and successfully represented me in my personal asbestos-related litigation. Phil was always courteous, thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient during investigations and representation of my best interests. As a medical physician, I expect high standards of work, which Phil always met or exceeded. It has been a pleasure and I highly recommend his legal services.”

    - Denis S.

  • “I definitely would highly recommend him. He’s not just there to be there, he’s there for you and that’s what you need.”

    – Sam and Cheryl

  • “When I first heard about Mr. Phil Hoffman was from my dad, he was like, ‘Man, I found this great lawyer.’ He kept us updated, that was the most important thing, and he made house calls, that says a lot about Phil. He’s not just an attorney, he’s also a friend.”
    – Jamal S.

  • “When my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer/exposure to asbestos with possible mesothelioma, I reached out to a friend who highly recommended Phil Hoffman. Phil came to our home and sat with my husband and me. He spoke to us and assured us he would do whatever he could. My husband passed away very shortly thereafter and there are no words to say how much Phil has been there for me. He is a good man, as well as a good attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

    – Sally B.

  • “My husband was the love of my life, my rock, my everything! He, unfortunately, was exposed to asbestos as a pipeline welder. About 50 years later was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Two months before he passed he asked for an attorney. We were referred to Phil by a long-time family friend, who also is a prominent New Orleans Attorney. Phil came to our home to visit with my husband to see if he could help him. He was very kind and efficient, jumping right in to help my husband. He took care of my husband’s request with kid gloves, until his passing. After my husband’s passing Phil didn’t waste any time continuing with his case. Phil has now fulfilled my husband’s request and secured his family’s financial future. Phil is not just our attorney he has now become a trusted friend.

    We thank God for Phil!” – Dawn S.
