Law Firm Overview

Dodson, Hooks & Frederick, APLC has experience handling personal injury, maritime law & medical malpractice. While our firm is located in Baton Rouge and we have handled cases throughout the state of Louisiana, we have also represented individuals, companies, unions and conglomerates across the world, including Russia, China, Japan, Philippines, Poland, India, Chile, Ukraine and many others. We partner with individuals and businesses alike, both before and during conflict, which lets us work to bring about as rapid a resolution as possible. When litigation is unavoidable, we are able to stand up for our clients' rights with extensive experience and resources.

We believe in personal attention, and to that end, meet with and communicate directly with our clients. Our principal partners — Jerry, Kenny and Brent — work with our clients and develop interpersonal relationships, which is a key foundation of our firm. You can trust our commitment to you and the level of service that we can provide throughout your case. We are selective with our client base, which allows us to maintain a high quality product, while maintaining our flexibility and accessibility. We also use nontraditional fee arrangements. Our firm works on a contingency basis, by the hour or a combination of both. The nature of our practice allows us to mobilize and execute a particular strategy rapidly. Whether that means a last minute deposition or a trip out of the country, our dedication is the same.

- Medical Malpractice and Doctor Errors

At our Baton Rouge law office we offer: Medical records obtained at no charge; On-staff physician to review potential medical malpractice claims; a low client-to-attorney ratio; Referring-team partnering with law firms throughout the world; the resources to pursue complex medical malpractice litigation.
