Dana Hoffman Named to NC Lawyers Weekly Personal Injury Power List for Third Consecutive Year

March 7, 2025

Young Moore is proud to announce that Dana H. Hoffman, shareholder at the firm, has been selected for inclusion in the NC Lawyers Weekly Personal Injury Power List for the third year in a row.

Since joining Young Moore in 1990, Dana has built a distinguished career as a litigator, advisor, and defender of clients in the transportation, long-term care, and electric industries. As a lead trial attorney, she works alongside her clients in the boardroom, on site, and in the courtroom. Dana regularly appears in court at both the trial and appellate levels, trying cases and arguing motions in venues ranging from local courtrooms to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In addition to her litigation practice, Dana partners with clients to publish articles and develop educational tools to help participants better understand the legal process. She also provides comprehensive risk management analysis before, during, and after litigation.

Dana shared these insights with NC Lawyers Weekly:

What inspired you to practice in the personal injury area of law?

I think it is important to play to your strengths when choosing a practice area, and I consider empathy to be one of my strengths. Empathy is so important in the personal injury arena – including empathy for the other party and what they’ve gone through. I hope that being empathetic throughout the process leads to a more positive experience for everyone.

What are the greatest rewards you derive from your practice?

One reward relates to my interactions with individual defendants. Litigation is a scary and unfamiliar process for defendants, many of whom were just trying to do their job. When they thank me, irrespective of the outcome, for being their voice throughout the litigation, that’s rewarding. Another reward is the personal validation and support that the Young Moore family provides on a daily basis. With their support, I know that I deserve to be here.

What do you view as your top accomplishment in 2024 and what do you look forward to in the year ahead?

After years of developing experience as a litigator, in 2024 in had the opportunity to expand my role to more of an industry advocate, advisor and educator. Throughout 2025, I hope to continue in this expanded role. I also look forward to spending quality time mentoring the younger attorneys on my team to hone their skills. I feel a personal responsibility to give back to the next generation of litigators.
