Experienced and informed.

I've met with Joe Soffer several times and he always had great advice on how to handle every aspect of the divorce process.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Soffer did an exceptional job with my divorce case. His knowledge, support and compassion were extraordinary. He took the time to hear all of my concerns and always made himself readily available, returning all of my calls and emails promptly. Working with Mr. Soffer was incredibly easy and th...e least stressful part of a very difficult and painful time in my life. He was honest and encouraging without making any promises that could not be kept. I was very fortunate to have hired Mr. Soffer and without hesitation, would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent attorney.

VP Fragrance Development

I was given Mr. Soffer's name from a friend who used his services and was extremely pleased and satisfied with the outcome of her divorce case. I contacted him for a consult for my friend who was too distraught to take this first step herself. Joe was patient, kind, informative and gave extremely go...od and sound advice that I transmitted to my friend. She will be reaching out to him to pursue next steps in her unfortunate move toward divorce. I was very pleased with Mr. Soffer's level of professionalism as well as the time he took with me. I highly recommend him!

Gets the job done!

Mr. Soffer represented me in a complex divorce proceeding. He was polite, professional and was able to get what I needed despite many obstacles.
