About Maria
Biography
In 2008, I left my family firm to pursue my own direction. Ultimately, leaving the nest allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. My practice focuses on family law, estate planning, probate, and criminal law.
My focus when representing clients is on the whole person. Sure, I want my client to "win", but I want them to know what "winning" means to them before we push through litigation. The case is not about me, but about them, and what will make them happy in the long run. My client and I will discuss their legal future, the potential outcomes, and decide together what is the best course of action. I will tell them the truth, which is sometimes very hard for my clients to hear, but necessary if the client wants to limit legal expenses.

Tenacious
When I first met with Greta, she was very tough on me, but that was appropriate; I was underprepared for our meeting. By doing so, she got the point across to me about the gravity of the situation. That--combined with our preparation for the hearing--resulted in a positive outcome, which exceeded m...
Maria Greta Hoffman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked for Greta, and now I watch her work in the community. She exhibits the rare combination of being both an extremely knowledgeable attorney and an extremely hard worker. I have observed first hand as clients entrusted her with the protection of large assets and estates. Time and time again she rewarded that trust with favorable results. You would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney to handle a high net worth divorce."
"I have been on the other side in several cases with Greta Hoffman. Her family law experience is second to none. She is reasonable when it comes to working out cases but a fighter when it comes to representing her client in court. She is also very professional when dealing with other attorneys and her clients."
"I do not generally handle domestic/family law cases. Whenever someone needs a referral, and they are looking for a lawyer in this area of the law, I always them to call Greta Hoffman!"
