Awesome Personal Injury Lawyer

A friend from Chicago contacted me when he was severely injured in a car accident. Since I only practice in New York, I knew right away I needed to refer him to Stephen. He helped my friend through the whole process and got him a huge settlement.

Stuck by my side the entire time!

In August 2017 when I was hit by an uninsured and unlicensed driver, I thought my biggest issue was the tens of thousands of dollars damage to my brand new car. After the initial shock wore off, the amount of pain experienced in both my neck and back set my mind racing in a different direction. After... visits to the doctor along with starting physical therapy, I reluctantly sought advice from friends and family regarding the road I had ahead of me. Although litigious is not a word I would ever describe myself as, my insurance company was all too quick dismiss my concerns and downplay the required road to recovery. After speaking with Stephen he reassured me of one simple fact… Although I had insurance, and as much as they were appearing to help and be on my side, I needed an advocate to monitor the situation while I focused on just getting better. After 5 long years (way longer than I ever imagined) of therapy, injections, acupuncture, dry needling, two spinal fusions, and more and more therapy, Stephen stayed by my side and kept my spirits up and paperwork in order. He advocated on my behalf at every step, and especially when it mattered the most at the end, he used every tool at his disposal to make sure I was represented properly and my health and lifetime of recovery was considered in our final settlement. Stephen obtained the best possible outcome for me and for the first time in five long years I was able to be at peace and finally start to put all of this behind me. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate, and highly recommend Stephen as the lawyer you want to have in your corner.

Adnan, I'm so pleased you were as happy working with me as I was with you. A long slog to justice, but so glad things worked out for you. Thank you again.

STRESS-Free / HASSLE-Free

I hired Stephen as a personal injury attorney because I was struck by a car while biking on the Salt Creek Trail at the RT 83 intersection, the great news is I wasn’t critically hurt but I never had to deal with personal injury issues in my life. When I spoke to Stephen the very first tim...e, I told him my story, he told me not to worry because he would care for everything, and make sure I received a fair equitable settlement for my injuries. Stephen did just that, I never needed to follow up with me regarding status because he was on top of my case as if this was the most important case to him, which was done quickly with a fair equitable settlement outcome, I hope to NEVER get into a personal injury incident again but if I do, Stephen will be my first phone call, and he should be yours as well.

An excellent, personable lawyer!

Stephen was fantastic to work with. He helped us with a personal injury case and made the process infinitely smoother than we would've imagined. Both in terms of just getting all the paperwork sorted, as well as advising us on dealing with the legal system overall and their lawyers in particular. He ...kept a positive attitude despite all the roadblocks they threw up, and was very concerned and considerate of doing right by us. We would've settled for much less and had many more ulcers if not for Stephen!

Outstanding Lawyer

Stephen Hoffman is an awesome lawyer. A master negotiator. Sincere in his concern about his client's well being. Always accessible. Consistently keeps his client abreast on his progress. We were lucky to find him. No one was interested in our case. One lawyer bluntly told us we didn't have a case... at all. Others were more polite and said it was not the kind of case that interested them. In our moment of being totally discouraged, someone suggested we call Stephen Hoffman. We made that call, and he began to work on our behalf immediately. We are so pleased and grateful. He is a rare and exceptional person who brings those qualities into his practice. He worked his magic of negotiating skills against settlement offers that were embarrassingly low. He was patient and persistent in pursuing what ultimately resulted in great settlements for us. We are so grateful and pleased that he took us as clients. If you need a great lawyer to help ease your anxiety and maneuver you through a difficult auto injury, call Stephen Hoffman.
