I received a very bad electrical shock at work while working with an improperly installed/maintained crane at work last year. Though my symptoms after this incident were immediate and severe, they were not typical issues associated with electrical injuries. Due to this my employer claimed that my i...njury was not work related and refused to cover anything associated with my injury, including the initial doctor visit. I was then told that it was unlikely I would receive anything from workman’s compensation by an attorney friend of mine who practices in a different state. At this point I didn’t expect much, but did my research and found Mr. Stephen Hoffman who agreed to look into my case. Upon speaking with Mr. Hoffman he presented me my options and gave me a realistic assessment of my situation from a legal perspective. Although several people including Mr. Hoffman had told me it would be very difficult to win my case, he agreed to pursue it. I’m sure this was because he understood my situation, believed my story, and thought it was the right thing to do. Mr. Hoffman took on my “unwinnable” case with the clear understanding that it was unlikely that the time he put in on it would provide any payoff in the end. Even still Mr. Hoffman spent the next several months arguing on my behalf with my employer and their insurance provider, and in the end was able to win a settlement that covered the medical bills and time I lost related to this injury. In the grand scheme of things my case was relatively small in dollars and severity, but Stephen Hoffman pursued it with the same vigor you’d expect with the largest of cases and won for me when I’d been assured by several attorneys that it was “nearly impossible to prove” my case. Thank you Stephen for your time, your efforts, and the respectful treatment you gave me and my case from start to finish. Very Best Regards, Ian

I recently experienced a serious medication error caused by a pharmacy and become ill. I didn’t know what my options were, so I turned to the internet and came across Stephen Hoffman’s name. From the first phone call, Stephen immediately put my mind to ease and assured me that I done the right thin...g in contacting him. He was sympathetic to what I had experienced and made sure I was in the loop regarding everything that was going on with my case. Stephen fought my case and in the end was able to surpass my expectations on the settlement he negotiated on my behalf. Should I or anyone I know or love ever find themselves in need of a personal injury lawyer, I would not hesitate to send them to Stephen Hoffman. ”

I was involved in an automobile collision that was not my fault. It was complicated by the fact that I was traveling between places of work for my employer so I was not even sure whether this was going to be a negligence automobile collision personal injury case or a workers' compensation case or bo...th or neither. I was hurt and confused. When I contacted Stephen Hoffman, he immediately explained all the possibilities, the pros and cons, the procedures, and was genuinely concerned for my well being as well. While this process could have been stressful and confusing, Stephen really made it a pleasure, staying in touch with me regularly and getting the case settled much quicker than I ever expected. He is a thorough, personable lawyer who takes the time to get to know his clients, listens to their questions and concerns, and keeps them informed. I was amazed at how well he knew my case and how frequently I heard from him via email or phone with updates, explanations, and news. While I hope to never need a personal injury lawyer or workers' compensation lawyer again, I would absolutely recommend Stephen L. Hoffman and Law Office of Stephen L. Hoffman LLC to anyone who needs an injury attorney. He is wonderful to deal with, professional, a great advocate, and someone who gets results for his clients. I was thrilled with how my case turned out and he documented everything he did; he is completely transparent, ethical and trustworthy. I cannot recommend Stephen enough!

Stephen was very responsive and helpful when I was in a bicycle accident. A car door opened and sent me flying into the street. The insurance company refused to pay for my chiropractor. Stephen was able to get them to pay my medical bills and a larger settlement than I expected. A year later I co...ntacted him about a landlord unfairly withholding part of my deposit. Stephen got my deposit back for me and wouldn't take a fee. I'd recommend him to everyone.

I was injured at work three separate times. Stephen was so patient with me, taking the time to listen to all of my concerns, even attending some of my medical appointments. He did everything humanly possible to convince his opponent that they were incorrect on the many disputed issues. Ultima...tely, he successfully got all of my medical treatment, including shoulder surgery) paid for by my employer (when they had refused even a diagnostic test of the shoulder initially), and settled my two separate claims for my injuries for far more money than I had ever expected. Stephen was a gem in that he honestly cared about me as a person and got great results for me without ever forgetting to ask how I was doing. He was extremely responsive, never failing to return a phone call or email the very same day. I highly recommend him! -
