Jody Anderman earned his undergraduate degree in Accounting from Louisiana State University in 1985 and then attended LSU Law School. After graduating from law school in 1988, where he was the recipient of the American Jurisprudence Awards in Louisiana Civil Procedure and Louisiana Sales, he began his legal career as a defense attorney with one of Baton Rouge's largest law firms. Although he gained valuable experience as a defense lawyer, he had a strong desire to represent working men and women, aggrieved consumers and others who have suffered significant losses and began doing so in 1992.

Since 1992, Mr. Anderman has represented thousands of individuals who have been injured in accidents or exposed to hazardous substances. He has also represented thousands of consumers who have been victims of fraud. Most notably, he was lead counsel in several class actions filed against insurance companies involving "vanishing premium" life insurance policies. Many of those cases resulted in multimillion dollar settlements. The insurance cases were based on representations that monthly premiums would vanish after a stated number of years. Mr. Anderman was instrumental in negotiating settlements valued at $70 million against National Life of Vermont, $128 million against Allmerica Financial Life, and $69.4 million against Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. Mr. Anderman was also lead counsel in a number of other similar cases, all resulting in substantial settlements.

Mr. Anderman is currently involved in the investigation and litigation of several environmental toxic tort actions on behalf of individuals who have been exposed to toxic chemicals and/or hazardous waste. In one action, Mr. Anderman and other members of the firm are representing over 3200 residents of a neighborhood who have been exposed to creosote from a nearby wood treatment facility. He is also currently involved, in varying capacities, in a number of Securities Fraud Class Actions including Xerox, Symbol technologies, and Torch Offshore and is also currently handling a variety of personal injury cases ranging from automobile accidents to explosions to nursing home negligence.

Mr. Anderman is a member of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and American Bar Associations, as well as the Louisiana and American Trial Lawyers Associations.
