A Fair and honest lawyer

My negotiations for divorce with my ex-husband had stalled and we could not make further progress. My ex found Attorney Hoffkins, but I came to trust him and believe that he could be fair. Attorney Hoffkins spent time with us and had solutions to the problems that we had stalled on. In the end I g...ot a divorce agreement that I felt was right for me. Now I believe that I can go on to build the rest of my life now that my divorce is behind.

Highly Effective

Attorney Hoffkins was not only prompt in getting back to me after my initial inquiry, he was also honest and straight-forward. He made sure I understood all steps involved in my case and made me feel confident in my decisions as he was there for me throughout the entire divorce process. In addition, ...Attorney Hoffkins continued to follow up and be available for my questions- even after my case was over and he was paid. He is a genuine individual who is “no nonsense” with the opposing Attorney. I felt very confident that the outcome of my case was a positive one due to his diligent work and ability to strategize.

Avoid Kevin at all costs! Literally, go pro say or find anyone that is NOT a scammer

Kevin was really nice during his "free" consultation. However, the day he got us to sign a retainer he changed colors. I had heard bad reps about lawyers, but Kevin takes it to another level. We decided to drop him and suddenly he threatened us about the outcome of the case being unfavorable and how ...we were making a huge mistake. We are currently trying to recoup some of the retainer fees, but as expected he is not answering any of our attempts. We are planning to go to the Connecticut BAR association with an official complaint.

Replied last September 12, 2014

This claim that I changed colors once they signed came as a total surprise to me. I represented this person appropriately in all court matters. When this person decided to represent herself, she only told me that she didn't want to pay more money for an attorney. I discussed with her the possible negative outcomes of representing herself, as is appropriate for a lawyer to do. I certainly never made a threat. She had a balance on her retainer which has been returned to her.

Great Car Accident Attorney

Kevin Hoffkins did a great job for me. I had an auto accident in which I got a broken thumb that required surgery and a stress fracture of my hip. He got me a six figure settlement that I was very happy about. He fought hard to force the insurance company to raise their original offer substantial...ly. He kept me informed throughout the process.
