Very Helpful

Michael gave incredible advice and kept me from being my worst enemy. He was able to communicate with my ex and myself and come to a common sense resolution. I appreciated his manner in conflict resolution and getting a speedy resolution to my divorce.

PETITION TO RENEW RESTRAINING ORDER/FAPA

Promptness, preparedness and knowledge are key when needing to decide who is to represent you in a court case that could potentially change lives. Promptness: Mr. Hoffman contacted me on time as scheduled for consultation about an upcoming court case. Preparedness: Because of his preparatio...n there wasn’t much information he needed from me to get to the end result…which for me is time saving importance when considering retaining counsel. Knowledge: Michael is a licensed attorney in two different states and that in itself is worth a five star rating. To know examples from a case that’s similar to my situation…but to deliver and explain said info where you can only say “I get it”, simply blew my mind! 100% satisfied. With that, you’re reading this review for a reason and should not look any further!

A Genuine People Person Lawyer

Recently, I had some issues regarding business harassment. Out of eight lawyers, Michael was not only the first to fit me into his schedule immediately but provided reassuring legal advice on how to proceed with my case. Admittedly, this had been the first time I had ever had an issue that requir...ed a lawyer, so I was quite anxious, to say the least. However, during the whole conversation, he very patiently waited and listened quite diligently to me as I explained the situation. He then proceeded to offer his views and opinions and even made me laugh a couple of times which helped alleviate some of my anxiety. By acting on this conversation dynamic it allowed me to feel that someone cared for my case and that I wasn't alone in all of this. He has given me peace of mind, and I am happy to say that I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulder. He is a "for the people lawyer" and will definitely help you if he can. I can't stress this enough, but I highly recommended Micheal and will hire him if I have any issues in the future.

Kind, clear and firm

During our consultation, Michael outlined clearly the important points and details regarding would likely happen if I would pursue the case. He explained the information I would need to research and gather and the types of arguments that could win the case, also describing what a settlement agreement... might look like. He listened and responded with kindness as I described a situation that brought me personal pain. At the same time, he was firm about what would and wouldn't work if I pursued the case, even if I wished the reality were otherwise. In the end, his helpful guidance led to my decision not to proceed with the case. I would certainly recommend him to others.
