Shepard A. Hoffman

Mr. Hoffman received his undergraduate degree from the Johns Hopkins University and was named a Henry Luce Foundation Scholar. Mr. Hoffman attended Boston University School of Law and received his Juris Doctorate degree in 1978.

Shepard Hoffman has tried over 70 individual asbestos injury lawsuits to verdict in thirteen states and has also served as lead trial counsel in consolidated trials involving from 30 to over 3,000 persons with asbestos disease. Over the past twenty years, Mr. Hoffman has concentrated on representing and presenting mesothelioma cancer cases to juries throughout the United States.

Unlike many law firms, the law firm of Hoffman and Thomas LLP, has chosen to limit itself to representing a small number of clients with mesothelioma, while also serving as trial counsel for law firms across the country handling asbestos cases. We intentionally keep our practice small and select so as to allow us to maintain a close individual relationship with each of our clients and their families.

Over the last thirty years, whether trying cases on behalf of his own asbestos clients or for the asbestos clients of other law firms, Mr. Hoffman has consistently obtained verdicts on behalf of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis clients, which are among the largest obtained by any lawyers anywhere in the United States. When you consider a lawyer to represent you, find out how many cases like yours that lawyer has actually tried to completion in front of a jury and what the results have been.

For over 30 years, Shepard Hoffman has dedicated himself to representing persons and the families of persons diagnosed with asbestos-related cancer, and more specifically, mesothelioma. At Hoffman and Thomas LLP, we feel fortunate to be selected to pursue cases for victims of mesothelioma, and to have obtained some of the largest verdicts and settlements in the United States for our clients.

Mr. Hoffman is licensed to practice law in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Mr. Hoffman has been awarded the highest rating available in both ethics and legal skills by the Martindale-Hubbell legal rating service.
