Our company LCI Workers' Comp has used Bobby Truitt to handle workers' compensation defense for us for over five years. We have found Bobby to be very accessible, communicative and easy to deal with. His billing is fair, clear and a good value. And his results in defending the claims has been outstanding.
Because of our positive experience in using Bobby for comp claims we've also used him for other matters related to vendors, and these too were equally enjoyable experiences.
If you want an attorney that you can pick up the phone and call and get a simple and honest explanation of your case, Bobby is the person for you.
Jack E. "Bobby" Truitt was born in Texas, but raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. After graduating from Jesuit High School of New Orleans, he attended Louisiana State University where he obtained a business administration degree with a minor in political science. He then obtained his J.D. from Loyola University School of Law and has been licensed in Louisiana and Texas since. He is admitted to practice in all Louisiana State and Federal District and Appellate Courts and has been admitted to the United States Supreme Court as well.
Mr. Truitt began his practice with a small defense firm that practiced primarily admiralty, worker's compensation, and general casualty litigation. However, he soon joined a larger insurance defense firm in Metairie, Louisiana where he began trying many cases on behalf of major national clients such as Kmart, Cox Cable, Tonti Properties, and Walgreens; there, he obtained numerous "zero verdicts" in bench and jury trials. Mr. Truitt soon became a partner in this firm, but was dissatisfied with the "big firm" mentality, so he formed his own firm with two assistant district attorneys, who thereafter returned to practicing criminal law on a full-time basis.
The Truitt Law Firm continued with the association of Jack E. Truitt, Bobby's father, who has since passed, and others. The firm continues to represent major national clients successfully at the trial and appellate levels. The firm has significant experience in the areas of pharmaceutical defense, automobile litigation, premises liability, construction litigation, worker's compensation, business litigation, and criminal defense. Mr. Truitt has been a presenter at many continuing education seminars for other lawyers, paralegals, and claims professionals. He is also a former member of the Louisiana Bar Association House of Delegates, the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel, and the prestigious Defense Research Institute. He has achieved the highest rating from his peers in Martindale Hubbell, and the firm recently was awarded the distinction of approval by A. M. Best Insurance Ratings. Mr. Truitt serves on the Board of Directors for the West St. Tammany YMCA and is involved in other organizations benefitting the community.
Mr. Truitt resides in Covington, Louisiana with his wife and three boys.

"I tried a case against Mr. Truitt in the 90's and lost the verdict to him. He was a very good lawyer then and has just gotten better with age and experience. I'd recommend "Bobby" in litigation matters. He impressed me so much at the time, I have retained him for representation in family business matters and that's a big deal as far as I am concerned. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Truitt."
"Bobby is a strong advocate for his client in the courtroom. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several cases and he is the utmost professional. He and his staff ensure that things get done in an efficient and timely manner. I strongly endorse Bobby."
