Divorce/Custody

Jerry is a tell it like it is attorney. He will not give you falsehoods or guarantees of victory. I cannot thank him enough for guiding me through my divorce and an even more difficult custody issue. His knowledge and expertise brought me to the perfect outcome. It was a long road but I received fu...ll custody of my children. His Legal Assistant Becky is the absolute best!

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.

divorce and more

Jerry was hired for my divorce in 2018 and was great! He is honest, real, and i was nothing but pleased with the process and results. I hired him a second time this year when my parenting plan had to change and my ex was seeking custody of our kids. Again, Jerry was a pleasure to work with and needle...s to say, i have custody of my kids. He is knowledgeable and the whole office is friendly and helpful. communication is easy through his client portal and no hidden crazy fees. he’s everything I would have hoped for and highly recommend his services to anyone! thank you Jerry

Great professional Lawyer

I will use Mr. Hoffer in all my child custody issues! Mr. Hoffer was honest, professional and diligent! He took every single one of my concerns into account. He was a great voice for me in court. He ultimately got me the outcome I was searching for. Mr. Hoffer was always easy to reach and very respon...sive. His office staff Mrs. Becky, was always kind and helpful! She always relayed my messages and treated me with the upmost respect!

The best of the best

Jerry was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend him! He told me exactly what to expect through the process, and didn’t necessarily tell me what I wanted to hear but told me honest advice and advised me of the best possible resolution. He’s quick to respond and is great at what he does. He h...elped me settle and win with my divorce/child custody/ & child support.

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."
