Associate Simone H. Yoder’s practice focuses on the defense of employers and national insurance carriers for claims arising under Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, Defense Base Act and Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act. As supported by the peer recognition she has received, including Louisiana Super Lawyers Rising Stars and New Orleans Magazine Top Lawyers, Simone has developed a reputation as a skilled attorney in workers’ compensation law.

I am knowledgeable in this area of the law and enjoy devising a litigation strategy that affords my clients the best opportunity for a favorable outcome. I also enjoy developing relationships with my clients and working with them to achieve desired results.”
