Dedicated to Personal Injury Litigation and Admiralty Law Let Us Help You Rebuild Your Life
An International Maritime & Personal Injury Law Firm
Helping Clients in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Worldwide
Dodson & Hooks, APLC is a law firm dedicated to personal injury litigation and admiralty law. Based in Baton Rouge, our firm represents clients throughout Louisiana, the United States and across the globe.
Our firm employs a team approach which includes multiple attorneys, paralegals and support staff on each case. This team approach allows us to devote our full attention and resources to resolving your claim efficiently and effectively. You deal directly with your attorney, who is readily accessible when you have a question or concern.
Legal jargon and concepts are difficult enough to understand. If English is your second language, communication with your lawyer can be nonproductive. Our multilingual attorneys advise clients in their native language so they can better understand their rights and options. We also provide a 24-hour multilingual phone service so you can call from other time zones if necessary.
