Upfront and trustworthy

Going through a divorce for the first time is intimidating - not knowing where to start, what to expect. I left a voicemail before the office opened and had a callback and consultation scheduled within the hour. I appreciated Jerry's frankness and he took the time to explain the various options and s...trategies he would recommend based on my situation. What we had hoped would be a simple, uncontested filing turned into 8 months of back and forth. The billing was straight-forward and I never felt like I was being nickled and dimed. I appreciated the documentation and correspondence promptly uploaded to MyCase. Also the flexible Zoom option for mediation/court was great. There were a few months there where it felt like nothing was progressing, but Becky always answered my calls and questions. During mediation, Jerry had all my information teed up and understood my priorities and we were able to come to a settlement. Would recommend if you're looking for a local divorce attorney!

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 lawyer who can make a challenging situation feel manageable

Choosing the right divorce lawyer can make a significant difference during a difficult situation, my experience with Mr. Hoffer made is easier and here is why: Navigating a divorce can be incredibly difficult, but Jerry Hoffer made a challenging situation feel manageable. He demonstrated an impressi...ve understanding of the law and consistently offered clear, strategic guidance on the best path forward. I always felt informed and understood my options at each stage of the process, which reduces anxiety. He is not only a skilled legal expert but also empathetic, offering support and professionalism. I would wholeheartedly recommended Jerry Hoffer to anyone seeking a divorce attorney who combines legal knowledge with genuine care for their clients' well-being. He made a difference in ensuring a smoother, more positive outcome during a deeply personal and emotionally charged period.

Great Attorney

Jerry took my case knowing it was going to be very difficult. His expertise and knowledge of the system was astounding. He was relentless in protecting my rights from the beginning to the final Divorce Decree. Becky was very instrumental in answering all my questions during the whole process. I stron...gly recommend Jerry; he gets an A++ in my book. Thanks again for a great job.

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."
