Amy is the one to see about any Construction issues you may have that might lead to litigation. Lawyers are like Doctors. You don't see a Pediatrician if you need brain surgery. Not all Lawyers are up to speed when it comes to Construction legal issues. I have used Amy Professionally and would recommend her for a satisfactory outcome.

I only have good things to say about Mrs. Hoffman, she Defended my wife's Business problem with professional tactics and efficiency!! After receiving several intimidating letters from the opposing council, Mrs. Hoffman aggressively responded with facts to Defend us, based on her impressive knowledge of Business Law!!!

Attorney Amy Hoffman is a professional & competent person whom I got the awesome pleasure of teaming up with. But before we go any further, I want to acknowledge that I initially had teamed up with a law firm, but it only lasted about 6-months until finally my case was referred to Attorney Hoffman in September 2012. Within only a few days, I begun to see some clear, positive results. I was impressed to see the awesome work Attorney Hoffman was doing. She immediately went on the offensive and sent out all pertinent legal correspondences, which immediately caught the attention of the opposing attorney and bonding company, and in the end got the bonding company to settle early. Attorney Hoffman kept me informed every step of the way, regardless of the time of day, or day of the week. For example, Attorney Hoffman graciously permitted me to communicate with her on weekends. And this gesture took alot of stress and pressure off my mind. And earned my family's admiration and respect. She was very responsive and understanding to my family's needs. Attorney Hoffman promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had. I am very grateful towards her for continuing to exercise her fiduciary responsibility to protect my family's legal interests. Attorney Hoffman consistentlydemonstrated a high level of professionalism, competence, knowledge & experience. My family will be forever grateful for her untiring efforts. Thank you very much Attorney Hoffman. J C
