Honest and Direct!

I’m absolutely grateful to Jerry Hoffer and his expertise in family court cases. This would have been an agonizing year if it weren’t for his help. He is very straightforward and gets to the point. He uses the facts and details pertaining to you and your circumstances to give you the best outcome pos...sible. No beating around the bush and so honest about his advice. I feel this is the number one quality you can find in a Lawyer. If I ever need legal help I will certainly be using his services again! Thank you, Mr. Hoffer!

A True Pro

I hired Mr. Hoffer based on a verbal recommendation from a close friend for a custody/ relocation case. This is a decision I do NOT regret and I would recommend him time again!!! He is versed in the laws and statutes and was well-prepared for the trial. His lines of questioning are all based on ap...plicable laws and statutes of significance pertaining to my case. He is a winner and I cannot thank him on behalf of my children and myself enough.

Child Custody Case

I went to Mr. Hoffer to regain full custody of my minor daughter from my parents who were in agreement, and her father who is incarcerated. He handled the case properly and met all my expectations, was very informative, and I would hire him again. His staff is excellent and always helpful and frien...dly. Case was resolved quickly and I now have full custody of my daughter.

The only office I'd trust with family matters

I went to Jerry's office on a recommendation from someone who works with family legal issues as a profession. Her recommendation was correct: He handled my case knowledgeably, quickly (as the courts would allow), and in a way that made me feel at ease with the whole messy situation. The overall exper...ience with an attorney will always rely heavily on the resident paralegal, as the attorneys themselves are in court and meetings much of the time. This office has the best. Janie was always quick to respond, even if it was just to say, "I don't have an answer now, but am working on it," minimizing my time of uncertainty. There was no point in which I felt like I'd been left hanging out to dry, like I've heard from so many people who have used other representation. In my case especially, our personalities and suggested approaches were complimentary, and he took the time to put things in real perspective to both inform me of all possibilities, yet keep me calm. This has been a trying year for me, because of this case. At the end of it, I'm able to say I got the outcome I preferred, in large part due to Jerry Hoffer.

First rate

Contrary to the other review, I found Jerry to be quite knowledgeable and personable. He handled my case like he was personally in it. He explained to me at length the process, how to testify, what to expect. He even drew a map of what the courtroom looked like. After I sat in court listening to ...other cases that day, I now know what family law attoreys like Mr. Hoffer have to put up with. I was very pleased.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. I have worked opposite Jerry on numerous divorce and custody cases through the years Jerry is a very strong advocate for his clients and enjoys the respect and admiration of the legal community and local judges. Jerry is excellent at settling cases to spare his clients the heartache of a trial if it can be worked out. However, if it is a case that must be tried, he fights as hard as any attorney I have seen. He has the years under his belt to handle any domestic case. He's a great guy and great lawyer. If you chooose him you will not be disappointed."
