I am an attorney but had no clue about divorce law. I had a previous attorney who stalled my case and billed like crazy. Jeff came highly recommended by another attorney and settled my case that I didn’t think was settleable and protect me. He is a true advocate and I wish I had started with him. Thank you Jeff.

Upon separation I was not able to see my son Jeff got me visitation rights very quickly and he defended me against all false accusations waged against me. He is professional, patient and kind. I recommend him if you want a great lawyer, and he is very reasonable with his fees and well worth his services.

Well, a divorce isn't a great experience, but to make it less horrible, you need a lawyer who knows their stuff. Jeff helped me get out of a toxic home environment with a wife who was abusive and greedy and helped put my mind at ease with his knowledge of the law. Jeff was very knowledgeable and was able to guide me through the divorce process. He also helped me to get the kinds of support and action i needed at just the right times. Jeff was also really patient, i probably sent him 5 million emails and he made time to discuss concerns and help me resolve anything that had me worried. Jeff says it's easy to get married, hard to get divorced, but going jeff made it a lot easier. I'm also personally grateful to Jeff because as a man, i felt like the courts were biased against men, but that's not necessarily true. Jeff's knowledge of the law helped me maintain a fair custody arrangement so mom's plan to limit my access didn't happen, and he also helped me with other key issues like support and equitable distribution of assets. I would absolutely hire jeff again. He sent me a free book before i hired him with common questions and while hiring an attorney is not the cheapest thing in the world, i found Jeff's rates to be very fair and he didn't nickel and dime me. I would advise anyone (especially men) reading this to not get married in the first place, but if you made that mistake and you need to get a divorce because your wife is abusive then get in touch with jeff.

Jeffrey is not only, of course, incredibly bright but as well reasonable, personable, responsive and relentless. He is patient and understanding in all that matters too. He changed the course of my life and my son’s life forever as Jeffrey went to battle for us and saved the custody of my son.

The 5 stars are not enough to rate Jeffrey. He is the BEST lawyer that will represent your case. He will defend you, protect you and deal with every nasty scenarios/battles when your ex spouse exploit matters on divorce and child custody. He is truly honest, very intelligent and he goes by the book. I'm very lucky that I found Jeffrey Hoffer to represent my case.

Mr. Hoffer saw me on very short notice to help me with a very pressing problem. He was a wonderful, patient listener. He didn't just know the law, he was able to help me with good practice advice. I respect him as a person of extremely good judgement.

I was served with a lawsuit from my Ex wife after 16 years after divorce. My ex wife was seeking spousal support. Need less to say I was more than shocked. I hired an attorney, who after 2 weeks became ill, and I found myself with no attorney, Stressed to the limit and extremely fearful of a possible order that could of ruined me financially. I was referred to Jeffrey, and immediately consulted with him. Jeffrey was very soft spoken, consoling, and assured me not to worry. But of course I was more than worried. Jeffrey professionally guided me thru the process, continually assuring me our outcome would be favorable. I of course did not agree. We finally went to trial after months of maneuvering, and I walked out of the courtroom devastated, as I looked at Jeffrey and said I lost. He, on the other hand calmed me and said it went just fine. Jeffrey cited case law, as the other attorney wasted time talking about facts that were of no legal matter. Still after 3 weeks of waiting for the ruling I continued to worry. Jeffrey kept assuring me of a positive outcome.. I WON !! Thanks to Jeffrey's knowledge of the law, knowledge of the Ventura County family law court, he knew exactly what to do! I highly recommend Jeffrey as a family law attorney. The results are all that matter!

Jeffrey Hoffer helped me with an uncontested divorce. I had been trying to do it myself but after spending hours and getting rejected from the court clerk multiple times, I found Jeffrey Hoffer. In less than2 hours he created all the papers needed for the uncontested divorce and got the whole thing done and filed for me. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain each step he was doing in a way that I could understand. He even discussed the splitting of our 401 k and recommend someone I could call to make sure there wouldn't be tax consequences which was something I hadn't considered. I would highly recommend Jeffrey if you need a straight forward, down to earth, family law attorney who can get you through your divorce as quickly and painlessly as possible.
