Gregory Hoffman

Greg was better than I could have imagined. My case came up just a few days before I was supposed to leave the country and he handled it perfectly. He talked with the judges and prosecutors to move my court dates earlier so I was able to travel, explain my situation and worked out a solution that all...owed me to continue my plans as if nothing happened. Even while out of country he has been in contact with me for resolutions on all matters. Everything in my power will make sure I never need a lawyer again, but if so, or if someone I know needs a recommendation, I will not hesitate to give them Greg’s contact. If more than 5 stars were possible, I’d give 10.

Clean Slate

I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He basically saved my future career plans. I would have a criminal record right now if it wasn't for him helping me get my first ever charge, for a minor crime, removed from my record. He genuinely cares about you as a human being and takes into consideration how... things will affect your life. You can tell he truly wants to help and I am so grateful to have had a lawyer like him as my attorney. It is crazy how one mistake can possibly ruin your life in the long run. I don't even want to think about how I would have had to forget about my dreams and aspirations. I am 22 years old so I have plenty of time to reach said goals and thanks to him I can continue to work towards them. Thank you!

Amazing Job

Greg did an amazing job on my case, I got in trouble on June 16th because of an altercation with my sister. I had court on the 26th of June and was so worried I wouldn't have a lawyer. Greg came highly recommended to me by my best friend, I called him on the 24th and he was able to take my case and a...ccompany me to court. We were able to take a deal where I had to take four anger management classes and then have it expunged off my record. It's now August 26th and it's completely off my record. This whole ordeal was very stressful for me but Greg reassured me that I was all going to be okay. I will definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family if they ever need a good attorney.

Excellent service and very professional

Mr. Hoffman managed to get my case dismissed and always answered the phone when I needed his advice. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that may require it.
