Best damn lawyer period hands down

First and foremost my name is Demoyne Anderson and I say that because I want you and the world to know that I'm a real person who was dying from a criminal case of a magnitude of injustice when attorney Andrew Hoffman thru me a lifeline. He took over my case after I got fed up with my prior attorney ...who was inept on every level. Where do I began with Andrew and I feel I can call him by his first name because he's not just my great lawyer he's my friend. The day I walked into his office he made me feel so comfortable he delved into every aspect of my case which entailed tons of paperwork, trials, motions etc. A case that took three or more years of fighting but he never let up even when I became weary. This guy is a beast whose honest, diligent, hardworking and very knowledgeable of the law. He never once doubted me in my case which entailed the false arrest of myself by the NYPD. I really don't have enough room to say all the great things I want to say about him. Well with all that being said I guess you know what happen. Yes he WON my case. Choosing Mr. Andrew Hoffman as my lawyer was the best decision I ever made next to choosing my wife yes he's on that level. Thanks Mr. Hoffman I didn't forget you and I never will. My family and I appreciate all you done for us. May God forever bless you because you've been a blessing to us.......... Demoyne Anderson

Case Closed !

From the moment I walked in and consulted with Andrew I knew he was the right attorney for the Job. I had met with other lawyers and they all seemed to side with the NYPD, or not believe my situation. Andrew set all the right expectations when we met. He was very passionate about my civil rights be...ing violated. I could tell he wasn't just another attorney trying to collect a check. Several depositions, interviews, meetings, and press interviews we settled for a well deserved amount. Andrew was there every step of the way and communicated effectively. Not only did I meet my lawyer, but I met a friend. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for a fair and honest attorney who is passionate about Civil Justice.

Grateful for rare combination of compassion *and* expertise

Andy goes beyond what a good lawyer has to do, and does what a rare, excellent lawyer does. He knows law and the legal system inside and out, which is crucial. But his genuine concern for his clients (and their families!) in their entirety as people - no judgment, yes honesty - is what sets him apart.... If you're looking for a lawyer well-versed in law who is also human and relatable, Andy is the one.

We are happy we have met Andrew L Hoffman!

My wife (a foreigner, with limited English) was wrongfully accused of shoplifting. After the criminal case was dismissed, Andrew carefully assessed her situation, and suggested several options aimed at clearing my wife’s good name. With Andrew’s help, she received the justice she deserved. My wife... is happy and can enjoy shopping again. Thank you Andrew!
