Divorce and Separation 50%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Mediation 15%

The mediation process can help you resolve disputes without going to court. In mediation, a neutral third party (a mediation lawyer or mediator) meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to find mediation solutions in legal disputes, including divorce mediation and business disagreement mediation. The mediator acts as a facilitator, helping you negotiate until a solution is found. Mediation is the most informal process for dispute resolution.

Marriage and Prenuptials 5%

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations

Highly Recommend

I cannot recommend Sheree enough! In the midst of a divorcee, having Sheree on your side will give you a peace of mind that you made the best decision. Sheree explained the process in great detail to me, she kept me informed, she answered all my questions, and she never made me feel that my questions.../concerns did not matter. I knew that Sheree was on my side every step of the way . She sincerely wanted what was best for me (and more!) and fought for it. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge. I highly recommend Sheree.

Knows how to win

Sheree was great. She knew what it would take to win my case and set us on the path to get us there. She was awesome!

A blessing!

Ms. Hoffman and her lawfirm handle business fairly, honestly, and professionally. What I appreciated the most was her honesty and knowledge of law. She has gone many extra miles for my family and me and will handle your situations as if they were her own. Her passion for family law is priceless; she ...strives to resolve issues in the best way possible for you. I have never been in a situation where court or legal family matters were involved, and she gave me great comfort and confidence in her being able to resolve my issues. If you come across this review, I can assure you Ms. Hoffman is the right attorney.

Posted by Katherine | August 20, 2014 | Domestic Violence

Great Attorney!

I am very satisfied with Ms. Sheree Hoffman and her handling of my case. Specifically, involving domestic violence and an Order of protection. She is very experienced on the legal system. In addition, her compassion for me and the abuse that I had endured was real. She didn’t back down. I highly ...recommend her.

Divorce Mediation

Sheree Hoffman and Hoffman Law helped me when I felt there was no where for me to turn. I was divorced 5 years prior to hiring Hoffman Law. The marriage was a 33 year marriage which had not been settled. Sheree stood her ground and got down to business as quickly as possibly . I got a decent settl...ement and she got me my QDRO which I knew nothing about and I received other settlements issues as well. She is very informative and stays on the frontline for her clients!! A hardcore divorce lawyer is a rare find!! Sheree Hoffman is one of the hard tough lawyer who cares about her client!! I was in awe seeing her in action in mediation!!! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer who will get the job done!!

"Ms, Hoffman is widely known in the Memphis and Shelby County area as one of the best and most effective mediators available for divorce, custody and other family law matters.

Mediation lawyer | Mar 07

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sheree Hoffman is an accomplished family lawyer, which makes her that much more effective when it comes to mediation. Ms. Hoffman uses her own personal experiences and knowledge of personalities in conflict to effectively communicate with the parties. At the same time, Ms. Hoffman uses her court room experience and legal knowledge to deal with negotiating attorneys. I regularly propose using Ms. Hoffman as a mediator. When Ms. Hoffman is the mediator, I believe the chances of settlement have drastically increased."

Family lawyer | Jan 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Sheree Hoffman is a highly respected mediator and deservedly so. As a lawyer with many years experience as a well respected trial lawyer Ms. Hoffman understands the law and the facts. Most significantly she brings to mediation an intuitive understanding of the personalities of the parties and their lawyers. Combining these talents makes Ms. Hoffman a very effective mediator who can bring closure to cases that would elude other mediators. Hire her if you can."
