Mikayla L. Hoffmann

Mikayla L. Hoffmann is an attorney with Baylor Evnen Wolfe & Tannehill, LLP in Lincoln, Nebraska. Hoffmann practices in the firm’s Workers’ Compensation group and works on matters affecting employers and insurers. Current firm materials identify her among the attorneys handling Nebraska and Iowa workers’ compensation claims. Her practice involves evaluating workplace injury issues, applying state compensation rules, and helping clients address claim exposure, litigation strategy, and compliance questions.

Hoffmann earned her J.D. from Creighton University School of Law in 2020. During law school, she participated in moot court and an ABA negotiation competition, held a leadership role with the Werner Institute’s alternative dispute resolution organization, and was a member of the Robert M.

Baylor Evnen materials list her among the firm’s Nebraska and Iowa workers’ compensation attorneys, and she has presented on legislative developments affecting Nebraska workers’ compensation. Her work requires close attention to medical evidence, benefit calculations, employer obligations, statutory defenses, and procedural deadlines, as well as practical communication with employers, insurers, and other participants in the claims process.

Hoffmann has also been recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for Workers’ Compensation Law – Employers beginning in 2026. Baylor Evnen highlighted her professional work in a 2025 Nebraska State Bar Association magazine feature and in workers’ compensation education programs. Mikayla L.
