About Paul
Biography
Attorney Paul T. Hofmann, partner with the law firm of Hofmann & Schweitzer, has over 30 years of experience advocating for victims whose lives are forever changed after a serious injury. He has resolved hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death suits, through settlements and scores of jury verdicts. He has obtained over a hundred million dollars in recoveries for his clients which places him in an elite group of multi-million dollar advocates.
Paul specializes in personal injury matters, with special emphasis on maritime (Jones Act and Longshore Harbor Workers), railroad (F.E.L.A.) and construction worker tort claims.
Perseverance and determination are the firm's guiding principles. As managing partner, Paul insists that the assigned attorney personally visit the client's accident site to develop an understanding of why the event happened.
Paul's passion for representing working men and women is not only recognized by his clients but also by his peers who voted and selected him for inclusion as a New York Super Lawyer since 2006 to the present.
