Knowledgeable and Efficient QDRO Attorney

I worked with Eric Hoffman on two QDROs related to the division of retirement assets following my divorce, one involving a 401K and the other a Roth IRA. My divorce was finalized overseas in Asia, and the other QDRO attorneys I contacted immediately declined to take my case due to the international a...spect. Eric had experience with this type of situation and was willing to take me on as a client, which I greatly appreciated. We first spoke in early October 2025, and both transfers were completed by the end of 2025, much faster than I expected. He was very responsive, easy to work with, and took the time to walk me through the process as needed. His fees were very reasonable, and I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others.

A Great Choice

Mr. Hoffman was recommended to me to process a QDRO for my dissolution. What I experienced was a professional, detailed, and balanced person doing his best work in a very chaotic period of my life. Depending on the circumstance, the calculation and understanding of how a settlement or order that is g...iven can be interpreted in different ways. Each party of course wants what's most beneficial to them. This said, it is of up most importance that the facilitator of this procedure have full understanding of the order and how it is to be calculated. Mr. Hoffman was of great value navigating this for me as well as answering questions outside this realm he really didn't have to. He went above and beyond when the opposing party complicated this and didn't charge me extra when he could have. The fee for this process is about the same anywhere you go, the level of service is where the value is. I would recommend Mr. Hoffman's services to anyone.

Proffesional

Eric performed his work professionally, in a timely manner, and without mistakes. He was easy to contact and in the event he didn't answer the phone I received a call back quickly. I honestly had a great experience with him and would recommend him to anyone. Thank You Eric!!!

Ms.

Eric drafted a QDRO for me after I was divorced. He was helpful, knowledgable, and prompt in his responses to me. He navigated all the legal hurdles I needed to get this done in a timely manner. This were several steps to this process and Eric did all the work necessary to finalize the DRO.
