About Joel
Biography
Joel Hoffman has been practicing family law in Arizona for over thirty years, and he still returns his clients’ calls before he goes home at night.
Divorce-related worry and stress are almost inevitable ... but they do not have to be overwhelming. Many of Joel's clients have attributed to him their feelings of empowerment and independence as they emerge from one of the most difficult periods that they will ever face.
Joel has a diverse background in law, and his primary focus has been in family law and juvenile law. He also has significant experience in criminal misdemeanor and felony matters. He is an experienced trial attorney who also encourages his clients to utilize mediation, binding arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Joel is a native of Pennsylvania and has practiced law in Arizona since 1984. He received his bachelor's degree from Penn State and his law degree from the University of Akron. Joel is licensed to practice in Arizona and Pennsylvania.
"My unifying objective in serving my clients is this: When your divorce is final or you have resolved a difficult post-decree issue, and you leave my office for the last time, you are emotionally and legally prepared to start the next chapter in your life.”
