Great person and attorney

I contacted Michael and had a phone consultation with him paid for a half hr. Michael went well beyond that time frame and did not charge me or mention it. He was very honest and straightforward and answered all my questions with pros and cons to my situation I also did not sugar quote anything in my... favor I wanted the facts and mike was very knowledgeable. I retained Mike the next day and he sent documents took my calls and text he was not hard to reach and was quick to reply when I had a question or concern. I ended up resolving the issue and my ex and I can to a resolution. I let Mike know and he refunded me the entire retainer even after helping me and spending his time on my issues. I felt like Mike is an honest person who wants to help and really cares about you and less about the money. I would definitely hire Mike again if our agreement falls through so I might be calling him back soon. His fee was very reasonable and worked with my budge being a wood chip truck driver.

Mr. Hoffman saved me.

I was falsely accused of stalking and spent a month looking for an attorney but no one would take my case. I called Mr. Hoffman just two days before trial and he still took my case. AND HE WON FOR ME! This guy will FIGHT for you 110% He's compassionate and professional and truly cares for his clie...nts and their needs. Could not recommend him enough.

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.

Excellent Representation

I was referred to Michael Hoffman through the Oregon State Bar. After our initial consultation I hired Michael to represent me for my divorce. I was impressed by his passion and I felt like he cared about me as a client and not just another case. Michael was always easy to reach via email if I had... questions and he responded in a timely manner. I am happy with the results of my case, which would not have been easily resolved without his representation. I recommend Michael Hoffman to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Really fast

I reached out to Mr. Hoffman and he was prompt and had everything in order to form an opinion letter for a securities transaction. I have dealt with many lawyers in the past and he certainly exceded my expectation. Great job!!
