Posted by Eric | December 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

My experience with Jeffrey Hoffer

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!

Strongly Recomended

When my ex filed for divorce 2 years ago I did not know anything about the lengthy and scary process ahead . I talked to several lawyers who were thrifty with information and more eager and calculating as to my ability to pay and how much. Meeting Jeff was a life saver. I explained my situation to h...im and he said that he thought he might be able to help me. Even after our first conversation I already felt better about everything. He is truly a professional, knowledgeable, experienced and calm person who makes him a master in what he’s doing. Jeff immediately went to work preparing my case. Since things move slowly in family court, it took a while for my case to go in front of a judge. During that time, Jeff did an excellent job of gathering all the facts and details he needed and preparing me for the fight that was ahead. He did a wonderful job of keeping my expectations realistic and kept me focused on the big picture. He has always taken the time to make sure I understood the law and always always promptly answered my calls. I never felt like I was just another case for him... I don’t usually write reviews but for those exceptional people you must know. If you are looking for expert counsel, top notch representation in court all combine in a truly kind and human person with a generous spirit, Jeff is the attorney for you.

Top Notch Divorce Attorney!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jefferey Hoffer as my divorce attorney for over the past 15 months. Jeffrey has always been highly professional, proactive with all issues, very knowledgeable about the law and extremely supportive throughout my divorce and child custody case. Jeffrey is al...so very compassionate and caring and has always had my family's best interest at hand. He is a highly experienced divorce attorney who produced very positive results for me. He totally turned my case around! I am very grateful for his guidance through an extremely emotional time in my life. I am very appreciative for everything he has done for me and my children. I highly recommend Jeffrey!

Great Job at stepping in!

We had Mr. Hoffer step in for our attorney who happened to be on vacation on our final trial for a move away case. He not only showed up, but was with us every step of the way. Upon our evaluation, I was handed a curve ball so to speak (lies in the form of declarations submitted to the court that m...orning) and Mr. Hoffer coached me through it and calmed me down over the phone. His advice was perfect and the evaluator saw right through the lies of my daughter's father. He also has a ton of experience with these kinds of cases and his knowledge was spot on. He was professional and thorough and we got everything we wanted. He also handled the opposing counsel very well and I felt that he was able to compromise just enough as to please the judge and give us a favorable outcome. He was fair yet tenacious in response to the opposing side and got the job done!
