Tricia Purks Hoffler

After being the recipient of an unnecessary surgical procedure, I was referred to Attorney Tricia Purks Hoffler. After getting over some initial hurdles, the primary one being the arduous task of the surgeon signing the release of my medical records things moved forward. My written documentati...on was provided as requested which was cross referenced with the medical records from the hospital/doctor. There were long periods of time with no communication from Attorney Hoffler’s office. Upon contacting her office for updates “Deanna” her paralegal answered questions. There was a delay in getting an answer from the specialist according to “Deanna “ who Attorney Hoffler contacted to examine the facts of the case. Finally he was on board. “Deanna” called to verify my position regarding the misdiagnosis of the surgery. The surgery was performed because of the misdiagnosis of an infectious disease that could cause the loss of my hand and arm if not performed according to the orthopedic surgeon. This was decided to be the cause of the severe inflammation and swelling in my hand as well as the pain. Of course no bacteria was found. Eventually, “ Deanna” advised “she will take the case”, referring to Attorney Hoffler via a phone call. More time passes. January 29, 2020 “Deanna” asked for documentation on behalf of Attorney Hoffler of how the surgery impacted my life “before she takes” me “on as a client.” When did this shift occur? The documentation was provided. After no response for more than two weeks, a call was placed to “Deanna”. She was not in according to “Donna”. When asked when she would return, the response was “She won’t.” The name of the new person assigned to me was “Joy” who would be in in two days at which time the call would be returned. Two days later on February 28, 2020, a call to “Joy” was placed. According to“Donna” she was not in. Upon checking she stated Attorney Hoffler “turned down the offer.” Surely this was known sooner than stated. This gross display of unprofessionalism is reprehensible. More importantly so much of my time has been unnecessarily wasted.
