Hofmann & Schweitzer has a national reputation for creative and professional handling of major personal injury and death cases. The firm, founded in 1977, carried on the work of our predecessors who advocated for seamen's and railroad workers rights in the 1950's and 1960's, with many Supreme Court victories to their credit. Today, we have expanded our practice to represent many construction trade members, including carpenters, dockbuilders, electricians, iron workers, laborers, lathers, operating engineers, dredge men and a host of other specialties.
In 1977, the firm was formed, representing injured workers as well as a major transportation labor union. Over time, the name and the membership of the firm has evolved, but the focus is still upon representing the "little guy" against the well-funded corporations and insurance companies. Hofmann & Schweitzer exclusively represents the interests of victims of serious accidents, and is not beholden to any corporation or insurance company. Thus, it is able to completely focus on representing those who have been seriously injured.
Paul T. Hofmann, Esq. has more than 29 years of seasoned trial litigation experience, and has been a driving force in developing new and better ways to successfully represent the interests of his clients.
