QDRO Perfection!

Eric helped me draw up a QDRO AFTER my divorce was finalized and I was in a different state. He was patient and answered all of my questions. The directions and information was easy to follow. My QDRO was started in July and finished/paid out the end of November. I am actually planning on hiring Eric... again for estate paperwork. It was a pleasure working with him and I can't thank him enough.

Best Attorney I have hired in 30 years!

I hired Eric Hoffman to help me through my divorce. Eric is unusual in his ability to read his client and spend time only on those things that help further his client's intentions. I found him extremely efficient and cost effective. On a number of occasions Eric actually reduced my bill because of ...the excessive hours that were required to win a difficult case. What attorney reduces his bill to help you out? In 30 years I have never had an attorney do that, and I have hired many for business cases. Eric was very thorough in his research. He was very aware of his opponents weaknesses and strengths in the courtroom and conducted himself accordingly. I can tell you he takes his job seriously, his client's interests seriously, and He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He is straight-forward and above all honest and ethical. I referred him to a friend who is also impressed with the same values I have stated above. I hope you also will have the opportunity to receive the benefits of his services.

Excellent Family Law Help

Eric had been nothing short of excellent in helping me with my very complicated situation with a spouse who filed false claims in court and then it turned into a divorce proceeding. He's also helped me with some business matters and had been excellent there as well. He's been thorough and ethi...cal and clear at every step. You will get more than your money's worth if you need him.

Super results for my divorce case

My divorce case was anything but typical. Substance abuse, betrayal and even a false police report filed in an attempt to have me locked up. Eric's expertise and persistence played a key role in getting the positive outcome I was looking for. Very pleased with my choice of attorneys. I highly rec...ommend working with Eric. You won't be disappointed.

Genuine and ethical

I hired Eric after firing another lawyer. Eric was everything that I wanted. He kept me informed, he was able to get a compromise that I didn't think was possible. I think Eric has a lot of integrity that has been missing in most of my legal experiences Would highly recommend Eric.
