Worker’s Compensation
I reached out to the Hoffman Legal Group in 2019 and it was the best decision. Even though it was a long process, they kept me in the loop with everything and the whole way I knew they had my best interest at heart. Attorney Doug Hunter is amazing and Ms. Denise Decker is the kindest person. I can’t thank them enough. If you would ever need a legal team, reach out to the Hoffman Legal Group.

Medical bills that were placed on me
Doug and his team are fantastic. He was able to take me through what the process would be and help remove a finical burden that was undeserved. Took me through step by step of what the process was, and constant communication. They were able to take care of medical bills that were unfairly put on me and make them go away and then additionally compensation for time off of work that I ended up missing.

Worker's Comp Attorney
I hired Doug back in 2005 to represent me for my work injury and he worked for me until 2021. He was always on the job for me, I never had to call to ask what was going on with the case because he always keep me updated. If I called for any reason he was available or would call me back promptly. I felt secure knowing he was fighting for me always.
