In The Beginning... H. Tim Hoffman founded the law firm in the early 1970s. Since it's inception, the firm has focused on labor-law, representing among others, the United Steelworkers of America, the American Federation of Government Employees, the Communications Workers of America and SEIU. The practice consisted primarily of labor-law related claims. The firm developed a groundbreaking group membership plan, affording member unions the opportunity to join, and obtain discounted legal services on behalf of their members. As a result of this plan, Hoffman & Lazear has been able to provide union members legal services in fields of family law, personal injury, worker's compensation, and criminal law among others, at attractive rates. While the firm now concentrates primarily on employment class actions, the program continues to this day, and members of these group plans are provided services at a discounted rate through a combination of referral to screened attorneys and in-house handling of claims. Hoffman & Lazear, as the firm has been known since 1985, continues its long-standing tradition of defending the rights of American workers. During the thirty years the firm has been in existence, it has handled a substantial amount of complex litigation, including numerous class actions and litigation involving employment related claims. Hoffman & Lazear has handled precedent-setting claims alleging employment discrimination, sexual harassment, violations of ERISA as well as other violations of state and federal wage and hour laws.
