Founded by Joseph Kopfler in 1989, our Houma attorneys have represented thousands of injured workers and accident victims across Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, Assumption, and surrounding parishes. Local roots. Statewide reach.

No Fee Unless We Win

Contingency representation on personal injury cases. Property-damage claims handled at no cost in most matters. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.

Direct Attorney Access

You talk to your lawyer — not a case manager, not a paralegal triaging your call. That has been the Kopfler & Hermann way for 35 years and it is not changing.

Trial-Ready, Insurance-Tested

Insurance companies know that when Kopfler & Hermann is on a case, we will take it to verdict if they refuse to deal fairly. That reputation is worth real money at the settlement table.

No Fee Unless We Win Personal Injury Representation

All personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. If we accept your case, there is no fee unless we recover damages for you. For a free consultation, please call our Houma personal injury attorneys today.

What Our Clients Say

My family and I experienced a tragic loss in 2019. I lost my mother because a doctor at Slidell Memorial hospital misdiagnosed her and did not give her the proper treatment she needed.. My family and I decided to go after her and the hospital. While we were still trying to wrap our heads around what just happened to our mother, a nice lady told us about a great lawyer who helped her family with a similar case. This wonderful lawyer was Mr Joe Kopfler. We contacted Mr Kopfler and he has helped us in tremendous ways. He took our case head on and did what he had to do to settle this case for us . He helped us get some closure we very much needed. I can't thank him enough for the amazing job he did. If anyone is in need of a lawyer contact Joe he is the man!!!
