Horrible Response Timeline

We paid Ms. Hoffman $2000 in August 2018 to handle a simple probate case (no spouse, no kids, no property other than cash). In the year since, she has failed to respond to emails and voicemails, often for many weeks or even months at a time. The first probate hearing was canceled the day before; I on...ly discovered the date for the rescheduled hearing because I HAPPENED to look it up on the county court website (it was a few days before). She didn't even call or email to provide me with the rescheduled date. We FINALLY had the probate hearing April 15, 2019. After that, she promised to send the final forms the heirs need to sign as well as final instructions to close the probate. As of today, August 19, she STILL has not responded with final instructions on what we need to do to close this out. I have no idea if the legal notifications went out to newspapers and have no idea what the next steps should be. It has been over four months since the probate hearing and she has ignored multiple emails and voicemails. She only responded once about a month ago, saying she was out of town and that she would send the forms when she gets back. I still have heard nothing from her despite several additional emails. I am apalled at her lack of professionalism and downright rudeness in refusing to answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2021

updated on 04/15/2021

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
