Patronizing

Over promise under deliver. He clearly understood my question and reinsured me on three separate occasions that my timed served the previous year would be credited towards my current sentence. When I wrote him while incarcerate he would not respond. I find him to be patronizing.

My case

I made some bad choices. My family got Chris on my case, he filed motions, he had an investigator talk to people and he took the case to trial. I walked away from the Courthouse. It took 2 years, but but I never went back to jail.

This Criminal Defense Lawyer DELIVERS

Mr. Hoffner is the most professional lawyer I have ever worked with. Not only is he knowledgable, but he also took care to keep me informed every step of the way. I always knew what to expect, how to answer questions, and what was going to happen next. Most importantly, this man kept me from going... to jail. I could not be happier with his services. I made some poor choices in life but Mr. Hoffner helped me get past them all. If you need help, I highly recommend him.

Chris is a good lawyer

Chris did a great job with my sons criminal case. We thought he was going to jail. He was caught in a car with two friends and a gun. Chris had picked a jury and was trying the case when the judge dismissed it at Chris's request.

negative poor!!!

Christophers partner Jamie apologized and was embarressed for his lack of keeping me informed. He was misleading and had me agree on a plea bargin that was not even close to what i agreed too. He takes your money and does not perform. I could of done better without him. So dissapointing so devast...ating. Please seek other council. pleaase......

I remember the case and the client well. Her significant other was stopped for a DUI. He eventually plead guilty to DUI with his attorney, my friend, not my partner, J****. This client had 3 marijuana cigarettes in her purse. She had a valid suppression issue, but chose instead to accept Conditional Discharge, a diversionary program where if she agreed to the terms, the case would be dismissed at the end of a 1 year probationary period. The fines were explained to her, and her need to comply with the terms of the agreement. We then put the Diversion on the record before a Judge. At no point did client indicate she wanted out of the agreement or to go ahead with the motion or the trial. I work hard for my people, and I've tried many cases in Superior and Municipal Court.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
