“I was injured at work. Stephen Hoffman was the lawyer who handled my workers’ compensation case. I got his name from another lawyer who knew him personally, and I am so glad, as he handled everything professionally, keep me informed the entire time, and explained everything to me. My job as a ...nurse requires me to lift and assist patients, and I hurt my wrist doing this. Even after surgery, it was unclear whether my employer would accommodate my desire to return to work with limits on using my one hand and arm. Mr. Hoffman negotiated a settlement that included assurances that my job would continue to accommodate my limitations. I still have the job I enjoy and he secured me a significant workers’ compensation settlement that is all income tax-free. I could not be happier with the outcome. Stephen Hoffman is not only a great lawyer, but he is a thoroughly decent person. It was a pleasure having him as my workers’ compensation attorney.”

Absolutely IMPRESSIVE! My case took 2 years from beginning to end; however never once felt Stephen forgot about me. In fact, we got to know each other pretty well. His diligence and communication w/me was consistent throughout. We met one time - to meet and sign off on my settlement, which I may add ...deposited smiles in our bank accounts.

It's a shame that you have to go through having a bad attorney to know what a great one is. I got into a car accident, where the other motorist rear ended me. I ended up suffering a concussion. Stephen was so informational, and helpful throughout the whole process. I've had my share of bad lawyers an...d attorneys, but Stephen is not one of them. THANK YOU AGAIN.

We got rear ended by a uninsured motorists and Stephen helped us with the process every step of the way. He response very quickly and will walk you through the process step by step. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer to deal with escpecially when they make sure you get all your bills paid. If you are... thinking of getting a lawyer, don't hesitate in picking Stephen!

Stephen Hoffman is a fantastic Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation lawyer and his efforts led to a great result in my car crash case! While on a business trip to Chicago from my native Florida, I was involved in an auto crash where I was hit from behind. Unfortunately for me, just days befo...re I'd left for Chicago, I had consulted with a back surgeon about neck and back issues and whether surgery was warranted. While the crash definitely made these problems worse, there is no question that some of the problems existed beforehand. I had no real idea where to turn or what to do. After some research on the Internet, I found Stephen Hoffman, as a Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation lawyer who could assist me. He immediately relaxed me, both reassuring me and explaining every step of the way what was happening and why, as well as what the overall strategy would be. Potentially, I had "two cases in one," with a workers' compensation claim against my employer and a personal injury claim against the car that struck me. Added to this complexity, there were issues about what my insurance would and would not cover (I was in a rental car, on business, out of state; suffice it to say my personal auto carrier refused to pay my medical bills because of this--a cautionary tale for any traveling businesspeople!). Additionally, workers' compensation had a lien on the personal injury case and was entitled to recover what it had paid out in the event I settled the injury case. Stephen Hoffman patiently explained all of this and did his best to discover all possible avenues through which I could seek recovery. Ultimately, I was able to avoid surgery. While the auto carrier leaned heavily on its theory that much of my injuries were pre-existing, the more-or-less "no fault" nature of workers' compensation allowed me to maximize my recovery in that arena. Stephen walked me through every offer and demand, explaining his strategy and offering me input to the process. In the end, we decided to pursue the workers' compensation case only. The settlement achieved exceeded my wildest expectations. Stephen did a phenomenal job in persuading the employer's insurance carrier to continue increasing the offer. At one point, I had provided my okay to accept the offer. He then got them to increase that by over 50% more. I could not be happier with the job he did for me or the way he worked with me and for me, allowing me to participate fully as a partner in the process. Without hesitation, I recommend Stephen Hoffman!
