Excellent Family Law Attorney

I hired Joel Hoffman to handle my child custody case that involved abuse. I was extremely impressed with how well Joel handled my case in court which lead to a positive ruling in my favor. Joel is very professional and spent the time needed to really know my case. I would recommend using Joel for... all your family law matters.

Custody and abuse

Joel has been extremely patient with the ex in our case. Her stall tactics and lies only made Joel work harder to get us a fair agreement. Joel’s assistant has been very helpful in getting us the time we need with him and making sure all details are prepared for him to represent us fully. Joel pays a...ttention to even the smallest blips by the opposite party and makes sure all evidence gets presented in a useful manner. We would definitely recommend Joel to everyone.

Representation in complex divorce case.

Joel's assistance was greatly needed for a very difficult time in my family's life. I appreciate his time and concern with the matters we addressed. Together we accomplished and obtained my goals for my family.

Extremely difficult custody case

Joel was fantastic with representing me in my custody case. My daughters father is a controlling individual (to say it nicely) and Joel didn't let down when he was pushed by my ex. I was happy that I got all that I asked for in court; final decison making and granted a judgement/court order to rec...oup attorneys fees from my ex. Joel was very straight forward and did what he had to get it done. I can't thank him enough. I will be using him again in the future.

Family lawyer | Jan 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had a number of cases over the years with Joel as opposing counsel. Joel is a strong, knowledgeable and passionate advocate for his clients and their positions and a skilled and worthy opponent at trial. Yet, he is still able to maintain a level of professionalism that allows for meaningful dialogue towards possible resolution outside of trial. I would recommend Joel to anyone with a divorce or other family law matter."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
