Testimonials

Mr. Hoffman has recently represented me in a complex and drawn-out divorce case. Since it was my first, I needed a competent, patient attorney to not only guide me through but also ensure it goes as well as possible - and was very lucky to have found him. Due to his diligence, demonstrated legal ability and sound advice, we ensured a very satisfactory outcome, but the process itself is also something that Mr. Hoffman handled very well. He was patient and addressed my many questions in an unexpectedly expeditious manner. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly he got back to me via email or phone, no matter how trivial the question may have seemed to me. His response usually took minutes - an amazingly fast turn-around time for a busy attorney. I wholeheartedly and fully recommend Mr Hoffman as your attorney, especially in cases involving family law. In my case, I felt very lucky to have found him and felt well-served throughout the process, with a real expert in my corner whose goal was the best possible outcome for his client.

I live out of state but needed a Florida attorney to help with a messy family problem. I found Attorney Hoffman's name and information by doing a Google search. He listened to my problems and concerns, and offered sound advice. He was efficient and quick, He knows the law. He has been available to answer questions as my situation changed and became more complicated. He is a fair

and patient professional. I recently found that he is licensed in both New York and Florida. He has continued to advise me as more complication with a difficult family member have developed. I appreciate his prompt response and caring manner. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Hoffman!

Attorney Hoffman makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. You’re not just a client to him, he truly cares. I Originally I went to another attorney in Sarasota. He took my money and did nothing. He was a no show at our first Appointment, that should have been our first red flag! We were lost and didn’t know what to do. I found Mr. Hoffman online emailed him at 7:30 in the morning by 8:30 I had a response. I continued throughout the day to email him questions and he responded quickly to everyone of them. I made an appointment with him and saw him later that day. He made a very complicated situation seemed very easy. He immediately put a plan of action together, tells you what he’s going to do and then does it. Mr. Hoffman made this divorce smooth. He completely restored my faith. His knowledge and service is outstanding. He’s not about the money. I can’t believe how many questions he answered for me throughout the day that he had to research.

Mr. Hoffman is amazing. He certainly is a blessing to our family.

Ruthann O, client

Mr. Hoffman is a very competent and dedicated professional, as well as a great human being. He took up my mother's divorce case not having met her in person, as she was she was out of the country wheelchair bound and in desperate need of legal assistance. The case dragged for over two years but Mr. Hoffman was always fully engaged, always responding quickly to any queries, and always representing my mother professionally. I highly recommend Mr. Hoffman and his team.
