The Absolute Best!

What can I say about Michael Hoffman and his firm Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti that hasn’t already been said! Michael Hoffman is the absolute best and I cannot thank him enough for literally giving me a fresh new start. I never thought I would ever be in bankruptcy but I suddenly found myself overwhelmed... by debt in a case with complex circumstances. Mr. Hoffman’s vast knowledge and experience, his legal expertise, professional ethics, wise guidance and his extraordinary work; got me through a very difficult stressful process with resounding success. I greatly appreciate Mr. Hoffman’s honest advice, diligent effort, and patience. From the very beginning, Mr Hoffman fully explained the bankruptcy process and from the moment I first met with him and his Team, I was confident I had made the right decision in choosing Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti P.A. for my case. I was referred to Mr. Hoffman who has an excellent staff and his assistants Kristen and Caroline are extremely attentive and professional at all times. Their kind patience and support were also key in helping me navigate the process. I’m fully confident you’ll always be in the best hands with Michael Hoffman and his firm, 100% recommended. The best!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Mr. Hoffman helped me through a very trying and confusing time. His knowledge, insight and responsiveness was responsible for making my case as go very smoothly. Mr. Hoffman accomplished for me exactly what I needed him to. I am so grateful To have worked with him. Now, some eight years after s...aid case, another related legal item has cropped up and is causing me distress, confusion and potentially a large sum of money. Mr. Hoffman had immediate recall of the facts and how to they would apply to this new situation. I appreciate that Mr. Hoffman takes the time to think and talk through these matters with me and then guides me until we collectively find our strategy. In this case he immediately had total recall of the situation and assured me that my outcome will be solved satisfactorily. What a relief to have Mr. Hoffman handling this piece for me again. Each time I talk to Mr. Hoffman, he always takes the time to ask about me and my life, understand my goals and my situation, and always goes the extra mile to help me understand and feel comfortable so that we arrive at the right solution for me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Horrible lawyer

This lawyer is very unprofessional and wouldn't even reply to my emails, he dealt with my case for about a year and had no knowledge of anything, all he did was ask for money continuously and in the end filed the wrong case, he would be lazy and for every question I asked he would be rude about it. I... lost my home because of him and wouldn't want someone to go through what my family and I did, so beware and don't hire him.

Replied last March 16, 2018

I am familiar with this client and regret that he is dissatisfied with the results of his case. However, I believe I offered the client honest and accurate advice given his financial circumstances, even if it wasn't what he wanted to hear. I also disagree that either my staff or I are uninformed or lazy, as hopefully demonstrated by my other AVVO reviews.

Great Bankruptcy Lawyer!

I highly recommend Michael Hoffman as a bankruptcy attorney. Knowledgeable and great attitude which is comforting for that kind of cases which anyone can experience in their lifetime for a fresh start. He has been really helpful from the beginning of the process till the discharge. He explained me t...he facts and required paperwork very well and when I emailed him to follow up something, he and/or his team always replied/assisted me promptly. Thanks again!

Help with a difficult situation.

I hired Michael to help with a complicated situation where my ex filed for bankruptcy prior to executing the QCD for the house awarded to me in the divorce. This placed my house in the bankruptcy estate of my ex. Michael was very helpful in getting this situation resolved favorably and quickly. He... was always very responsive and patient in answering my emails and calls with questions and concerns about navigating this difficult situation.
