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.

In need of a fabulous Attorney? unsure of those you have interviewed? You've come to the right page for the right Attorney!

I hired Joel Hoffman after representing myself for eight long months. I agreed on the divorce because I wanted it done however my ex wanted full custody of our child and I was not willing to negotiate. I was nervous because I only has 2 trials left - At the first trial we were sitting in the lobby wa...iting for court to start and another Lawyer walked out of the court room with his client, took me by my hand and told me that i should not worry that I was in the best of hands that Joel is the best lawyer in Arizona! The second and final trial joel was up against the nastiest lawyer i have ever seen in my life - she kept trying to cut Joel off and tlak over him she pressed for time and tried to waste tons so the Judge would not hear my testimony... Not only did Joel stay professional which i feel is a reflection of me as I hired him to represent me and stand in my position, but he kept going he didnt waste time he got through merely everything and he didnt nickel and dime me. Joels pre-trial statements and the amount if time he spent catching up to speed with my case all the way to his personal emials after court encouraging you and how fast he returns calls and emails to his staff and the atmosphere and his positiove light every time you speak to him he gives you a hug after court and is very supportive of your emotional state throughout the process. Joel is the best lawyer anyone could ask for between him and Mitch Cohen I dont know what I would have done! I appreciate Joel and all he has done for me and my little family! Thank you - never stop being you, Joel and keep on doing exactly what you're doing. You're an amazing Attorney. I reccomend Joel!

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."
