John J Hoffman

John was very professional and he helped me navigate through my divorce. I watched his professionalism right in front of my eyes when working with my ex-husband's lawyer - as well as the actual divorce court day. John always put my mind to ease in my difficult moments. I am extremely happy with my ...divorce outcome. My case could have been 50/50 but with his excellent talent, I feel my case was tilted in my favor. His entire staff is wonderful and always extremely helpful. You just found yourself an excellent lawyer!

Suspect that people reading this review are going through one of the most challenging events that life has to offer. After being fired by my first attorney for expecting clear and timely communication about my case, John was willing to jump in mid-process to take my case. John immediately got my ca...se moving forward in the court. John and his team responded to most matters in the same day. John was accessible and offered his perspectives without being dogmatic. In court, he articulated my case in a clear and concise manner. We resolved my divorce case without going to trial - which was my goal. I recommend John and his team without reservation.

Attorney Hoffman’s representation of me during my contentious and emotionally charged divorce has been outstanding. During our first meeting, I recognized that Attorney Hoffman’s valuable character qualities coupled with his extensive experience would be a huge asset to my case. However, when I refle...ct on the past year, I realize his caring, capable and intelligent counsel has been a catalyst to my personal growth and happiness. Attorney Hoffman guides me wisely and honestly through the rollercoaster ride of divorce, and the only surprise I have had is that I am not his only client; I thought I was! And why wouldn’t I? Attorney Hoffman answers each of my calls and emails immediately and thoughtfully; he checks in with me for moral support routinely; he recalls every detail of my case fluently; he steers me away from inflammatory reactions compassionately; and he fights for my best interests tirelessly. How Attorney Hoffman is capable of conveying this level of commitment to multiple clients is almost inconceivable. The fact that I identify as his only client is a testament not only to Attorney Hoffman’s professional talent but also his personal charisma and devotion. At the beginning of the divorce process, I was struck by Attorney Hoffman’s attention to my story. He listened attentively to my concerns and understood that my fight was about more than assets; it was about my children and my dignity. After studying my situation, Attorney Hoffman helped me recognize the importance and necessity of crafting a carefully articulated and extremely specific agreement. His attention to detail throughout negotiations with opposing counsel and the drafting of our final agreement has enabled me to establish the legal boundaries I need to protect my family’s interests and free myself from the past. Throughout the divorce process, Attorney Hoffman’s honesty, integrity and emotional support elevated me during grueling times and gave me the confidence to stand up for myself. I cannot recall the number of times Attorney Hoffman called me just to see how I was doing. He was incredibly sensitive to my anxieties about my custody arrangement, and he ALWAYS put my children first. At times when I was uncertain about custody arrangements, I met with the divorce coach in Attorney Hoffman’s firm, MaryAnne, whose experience in the courts as a Guardian Ad Litem and career as a child therapist, helped me fight for my family. MaryAnne’s insight into the legal system and expertise in the emotional health of young children was essential in the crafting of my final agreement and empowering to me as a mother. The only reason my case was successfully settled and did not go to trial is because of Attorney Hoffman’s masterful diplomacy. Opposing counsel escalated tensions at every possible moment. Because of this dynamic, every innocuous correspondence had the potential to escalate drama. Thankfully, Attorney Hoffman was completely unfazed by this dance, and responded to every incendiary remark with class and professionalism. Only a highly skilled, patient and intelligent litigator and communicator could lure this style of opponent into peaceful negotiations and author an agreement that ultimately benefited me and my boys. As I write this review and look back on Attorney Hoffman’s role in my life, I realize his hard work and heartfelt direction have given me the foundation to look forward. That is priceless. At one point I remember he called me to congratulate me on defending myself and said, “Whoever you were before this marriage, well, she’s back!!” I am. And I am deeply grateful to Attorney Hoffman, MaryAnne and the excellent paralegals and staff at Hoffman Law Group for helping me get there.
