Last year I found myself in an unfamiliar situation. I was devastated. I knew my marriage could not be fixed and I needed a divorce but I had no idea where to start, who to talk to or what to do. Navigating through uncharted waters is difficult, especially when it's a private matter. John Hoffmann's name came across my desk so I gave him a call and got an appointment to meet with him right away. As soon as I hung up the phone I felt better. After we met I felt heard. I felt reassured. I felt safe. We came up with a plan. It was more than a place to start I was on my way, finally moving forward. My experience with John was fantastic. He walked me through everything. If I didn't understand something he took the time to explain it. He was professional and fought hard on my behalf. I am convinced that if I had gone into court with someone else my outcome would have been very different. I am so thankful for all his help and I cannot recommend him enough.

John is a great listener. He really sought to hear and understand me and what was important to me as I went through a very challenging divorce and custody process and he always helped me to keep my humanity and be my best self. John helped ensure that I kept my integrity and did what was best for me and my kids. He always had the long vision in mind and helped me keep it too. I always felt like he acted with mine and my kid's best interest at heart. John is the best of the best at what he does and is a genuinely good human being too. A great advocate to have in your corner.

I don’t normally give reviews, however, I was just very impressed with the entire process that John and his team provided for me. Never really used an attorney for many things, and felt as though I might have problems, trusting one. It really didn’t take very long to find that trust and integrity. The process was very organized, even though I was struggling to be that way myself. The entire office is very kind and compassionate. I actually have a good relationship with my ex-wife That is probably due from proper guidance from John

I received first-rate legal services from John Hoffman and his colleague Johnathan Diggin. Divorce is difficult, and mine was no exception, and it made all the difference to have an attorney representing my interests with John's empathy and effectiveness. He was extraordinarily responsive, including on weekends, evenings, and his own vacation. John was also very efficient and sought to keep legal costs as low as possible. He understood my interests and priorities well and achieved all of them in the divorce agreement.

I can highly recommend John Hoffman! I can't thank him, his wife MaryAnn and the team enough for the outcome achieved!! I had a difficult custody situation and when I got in contact the first time with John, he took the time to ask a lot of questions, write every detail down to understand the situation and define a plan. John has a very resourceful, and kind team around him who are extremely capable and experienced you can tell. I was provided with a palette of options to go from and helped me see the forest through the trees. I particularly appreciated how fair and realistic John and team are, not creating false hope, keep you thinking straight, ability to explain pros and cons of each scenario while, for me very important, also taking my emotions, feelings and desired outcome into consideration! After the case was done, John and his wife remained in touch to check to see how things are going. The personal care they provide is amazing, regardless of weekday and time! While there is never a guaranteed outcome, John knows how to get the best for the situation. Thank you again for the tremendous great support you gave me John, MaryAnn, MaryEllen, JohnD!!

John Hoffman has represented me for over 17yrs. John is always professional, prepared, detailed, and timely in his response for any and all inquiries and questions. He is pleasant to deal with as well as is his entire staff. I highly recommend John and with his knowledge and experience you will be well represented. He is a man of integrity and sets a high standard. You will not be disappointed.

Words simply cannot begin to describe how great of an experience I had with John and his team. John is a straight shooter which I personally absolutely love. He wasn’t afraid to challenge me on my “emotional decision making”, bringing me back down to earth with his knowledge and expertise, which then allowed me to make more sound decisions in my modification. After 14 years of not having shared legal custody of my child, because I was scared, John helped me obtain my goal and take a HUGE weight off my shoulders. I would recommend John and the Hoffman Law Group 10 out of 10 times! Thanks so much, John and team!!

I found John and his team through other well known attorneys, they highly recommended him. He made a messy custody battle much easier to deal with and I ended up getting a fair judgement in my case thanks to his superb work. Thanks again John and MaryAnn.

The entire team at Hoffman Law Group helped me during the difficult time of my recent divorce. My divorce was anything but simple. John would listen and advise me in the most professional manner as well as his caring and thoughtfulness throughout the process. Every call was answered promptly and I never waited for John's call or felt alone. A Sunday morning phone call or just a chat of reassurance from John or Mary Ellen during or at the end of the day was common. I highly recommend John and his team for their knowledge, care and dedication to their clients.

If you want to throw money out the window then Mr Smith is the perfect attorney for you. He is all talk and no action. He will gladly run up your bill by making hundreds of unnecessary phone calls and sending emails to everyone for no reason, charging ridiculous amounts. He produced absolutely no results and I felt like he was representing the other party…he is the absolute worst, stay away!

The Hoffman Law Group helped me through one of (if not the) most difficult times in my life. I knew John was the attorney for me, when at first he didn’t even want to accept my case because he thought I was in good hands, and didn’t want me to spend more money than I had to. That to me is integrity and truly looking out for people when I wasn’t even a client yet. A couple of months later when I reached out again and we met, it was clear that he was the one to help me through the difficult process of a modification in the probate court. He, and Johnathan Diggins, knew my case inside and out and were incredible advocates for my needs, and through me, the needs of my son. His advice was sound - based on his vast experience with the Court and his realistic approach in dealing difficult custody situations. He didn’t always tell me what I “wanted” to hear, but always told me what I “needed” to hear, keeping my expectations realistic and always mindful of the costs associated with litigation. No one wants to go through this process, but if you are in need of advocates who are staunch allies, have excellent legal minds and strategies and are also genuinely warm human beings that will want to work with, you would be well advised to hire the Hoffman Law Group.

I'm embarrassed at how long it has taken me to write a review for John Hoffman and his firm. I mean the guy helped me through a tough period of my life, and is still a go-to for me four years later because let's face it, divorce is not a quick fix especially when you have children or there is a pension/QDRO involved. But, in some ways it's better that I provide some perspective a few years after the divorce was final - because I can see more clearly how lucky I was to have John on my side. He and his staff were warm, responsive, honest, and above all - professional. John won't tell you what you want to hear or drag things out. He will advise you, listen to you, and explain things as many times as you need it while being mindful of the cost to you. He will pivot when it makes sense and tell you when you might be being a tad unreasonable. I always felt that he had my best interest at heart - and that is what you need most during divorce (along with intelligence, experience, and an understanding of the system). Today, as I get set to call John one more time to petition for child support after our previous arrangement changed, I want to recommend John to you, and wish you the best of luck in your proceedings!
