About Us

The Truitt Law Firm was founded in 1997 by Jack E. (Bobby) Truitt after he had become a partner at a large defense firm in New Orleans, Louisiana. The firm was founded with two other attorneys based upon the desire to service clients in a more effective and flexible manner. The Truitt Law Firm sets itself apart from "big downtown firms" by aggressively representing its clients, but without the overhead associated with plush offices and excessive support staff. Cost-consciousness is a goal that we share with our clients, and we work with our clients in keeping the rising costs of litigation down.

We are innovators in this area, and our long relationships with our clients is testimony to success in this aspect of representation.

We are trial attorneys. We do not subscribe to the stereotype of most lawyers who simply work a file, then settle it on the steps of the courthouse. Our record of "zero verdicts" and favorable results in hundreds of trials evidences our commitment to representing our clients effectively.

Moreover, our published cases demonstrate that we are equally effective on the appellate level. Our firm is composed of experienced attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. As with our clients, our staff members have remained loyal.
