Well informed and helpful!

I consulted Jeff on a matter I was in a fix trying to figure out. He gave me good, workable suggestions and was straightforward and friendly. He gave me confidence that he understands what he’s talking about. I would trust Jeff as my attorney.

A professional, knowledgeable, and responsive attorney

Jeff Hoffman is a professional, knowledgeable, and responsive attorney. He and Linda spent as much time with me as I needed and made sure that all my questions were answered and the I understood every step of the process. He was very generous regarding his fee, as well - the lowest of a half-dozen ...attorneys I checked with in the area. I'm fortunate and glad that I ultimately retained Jeff's services. I recommend him highly.

Unwavering Support

Jeff was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive from the beginning to the last day of our case. Linda was supportive, and knowledgeable as well. At no time, did we ever feel alone during our Chapter 13 case. Years into our case, he was just as responsive as he was on Day 1. Our dis...charge was just recently granted. Our relief, and gratitude to Jeff is immeasurable.

Patient and knowledgable. A+

Mr. Hoffman was very helpful and patient on the phone. He got back to me right away (sooner than expected) and came across as a very personable, competent, attorney who knows his stuff. I appreciate the time he took to answer my questions and his honesty about the feasibility and costs of my partic...ular case.

"Cadillac of Dudes."

Jeff Hoffman guided me through Chapter 7 with ease. Filing bankruptcy can be a difficult and challenging time. From the moment that my bankruptcy started, I felt that I entered a very supportive environment. Jeff operates with a stellar team. Their expert guidance kept me informed every step of t...he way. Jeff provided practical and logical advice. He always gave me the pros and cons and would research any issues or fears that I had. I don't think that I've had a better experience with a lawyer. If you are dealing with bankruptcy issues, I recommend that you give Jeff a shot.
