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.

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.
"I have known, worked with and opposed Joel Hoffman over many years. Aside from the fact that he is one of the "good guys," he's also an excellent lawyer and competitor and has my highest recommendation."
"Joel was opposing counsel on a modification of parenting time and child support. He was a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed learning from his experience."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had a number of cases with Joel over the year. He is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who strongly advocates for his clients,"
"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."
