Jack E. “Bobby” Truitt was born in Texas, but raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. After graduating from Jesuit High School of New Orleans, he attended Louisiana State University where he obtained a business administration degree with a minor in political science. He then obtained his J.D. from Loyola University School of Law and has been licensed in Louisiana and Texas since. He is admitted to practice in all Louisiana State and Federal District and Appellate Courts and had been admitted to the United States Supreme Court as well.

Mr. Truitt began his practice with a small defense firm that practiced primarily admiralty, worker’s compensation, and general casualty litigation. However, he soon joined a larger insurance defense firm in Metairie, Louisiana where he began trying many cases on behalf of major national clients such as Kmart, Cox Cable, Tonti Properties, and Walgreens; there, he obtained numerous “zero verdicts” in bench and jury trials. Mr. Truitt soon became a partner in this firm, but was dissatisfied with the “big firm” mentality, so he formed his own firm with two assistant district attorneys, who thereafter returned to practicing criminal law on a full-time basis.

The Truitt Law Firm continued with the association of Jack E. Truitt, Bobby’s father, who has since passed, and Arthur Brewster and Nancy Butcher. The firm continues to represent major national clients successfully at the trial and appellate levels. The firm has significant experience in the areas of pharmaceutical defense, automobile litigation, premises liability, worker’s compensation, business litigation, and criminal defense. Mr. Truitt has been a presenter at many continuing education seminars for other lawyers, paralegals, and claims professionals. He is also a member of the Louisiana Bar Association House of Delegates, the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel, and the prestigious Defense Research Institute. He has achieved the highest rating from his peers in Martindale Hubbell, and the firm recently was awarded the distinction of approval by A. M. Best Insurance Ratings.

Mr. Truitt resides in Covington, Louisiana with his wife and three boys.

He graduated with a J.D. from Loyola in 1987, and while at Loyola, he was a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity.
