About the Firm

A Family Built
on Louisiana Law

Hufft & Hufft, APLC is a boutique husband-and-wife plaintiff law firm grounded in personal service, humility, and a genuine commitment to the people of Louisiana. Founded in 2001, the firm has built its reputation through decades of hard work, careful preparation, and real results for injured clients and their families.

The firm's roots run deep in Louisiana's legal tradition. Patrick Hufft's father, Judge Preston Hufft of Plaquemines Parish, shaped the family's early understanding of justice, responsibility, and service to the community — values that remain at the heart of the practice today.

The next generation has followed. The Huffts' three children have recently passed the bar and are now working attorneys, carrying the family's commitment to the law into a new chapter of the firm's history.

Our office is located in the heart of New Orleans' Central Business District, inside the historic Lambert-Gallier Inn at 635 St. Charles Avenue — a landmark building dating to the 1800s that reflects the city's character and the firm's longstanding ties to the community.
