About John
Biography
I am a native of Lafayette, Louisiana and proud to be of Cajun descent. Born in Lafayette in 1964, I grew up in the Acadiana area, where I have chosen to raise my family. I am a 1982 graduate of Acadiana High School. For college, I first attended Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana, and earned my undergraduate degree in Business Administration in 1986, from the University of Southwestern Louisiana.
After graduation, I went into private business until 1992, at which time I entered Law School at Southern University. I graduated from Southern University School of Law in 1995, Magna Cum Laude, and as Associate Editor of the Law Review during my Senior Year.
In 1996, I became a founding partner of Galloway Jefcoat, L.L.P. which strives to meet the needs of injured persons throughout Louisiana. I am married to the former June Odom, a local small business owner, and we have two amazing children, Johnae and Jacob. My daughter Johnae is following in my footsteps and currently seeking her law degree from Southern University.

Highly recommend Mr. Jefcoat for auto-accident injury cases!
In 2013 I was injured in an automobile accident, and John Jefcoat was very thorough and professional when dealing with my case. He helped me get a fair settlement to cover all of my vehicle, lost wages, and medical expenses. I would recommend him to friends.
