Best experience

Mr.Hoffman did an amazing job helping me with my case. He and everyone else in his office was kind and very helpful. when I reached out out to them, i heard back in a day or sometimes the same day. Mr.Hoffman had the best strategies to solve any problems and he negotiated well with the insurance comp...any. I definitely will hire him again, if I needed him.

Posted by Jeff | November 20, 2014

Highly recommended!

I have known Mr. Hoffman through a mutual professional organization. Mr. Hoffman has shown himself to be extremely knowledgeable about many different areas of the law during the time I have known him. What I believe separates him from his peers is his genuine interest in taking care of his clien...ts over the past 47 years. For those reasons, I would highly recommend Mr. Hoffman if I were to need any type of legal advice.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
