Add Goff, a lifelong resident of Ruston, brings 33 years of legal experience to the race for Ruston City Court Judge. He has represented individuals and families in a wide range of legal matters and has built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and careful attention to the law. Goff has practiced in courts across Louisiana and clerked for the Louisiana Supreme Court. Based on his deep experience, he’s been a frequently invited lecturer to civil, legal, and church organizations on topics such as professionalism, estate planning, elder law, and protecting the elderly against scams.
PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Goff has served in leadership roles in several statewide legal organizations. Notably, he served as a Hearing Committee Chair for the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board overseeing evidentiary hearings involving ethics complaints against lawyers across a 20-parish region. Goff made sure lawyers were being ethical.
A CHAMPION OF SENIORS AND VETERANS
Goff has been especially active in championing the needs of seniors and veterans. “I’ve always felt a special calling to help the elderly and their families, which was only strengthened after watching members of my own family struggle with end-of-life issues, dementia, and long-term care placement,” Goff said.

I was born and raised in Lincoln Parish.
I have spent my entire career here working with people during some of the most challenging moments in their lives. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation of how important it is that every person who enters the courtroom is treated with dignity and respect, and their case is heard carefully and fairly.
