Family Law

Since 1991, Mr. Hoffer has been engaged in the practice of divorce and family law. Although divorce seems to encompass what is known as family law, there are many issues in the realm of family law which have nothing to do with divorce. Mr. Hoffer handles and has a wealth of experience in the following types of cases:

  • Adoption/Termination of Parental Rights
  • Child Support Modification
  • Child Support Defense
  • Custody Issues
  • Grandparent Visitation Rights
  • Visitation Issues
  • Post-Divorce Issues
  • Contempt Actions
  • Defense of Contempt Actions
  • Orders of Protections
  • Restraining Orders
  • Name Changes
  • Living Wills/Last Will & Testament
  • Power of Attorney
  • Conservatorships

*If you have an issue that is not a divorce or family law related matter, a civil matter, or criminal matter, contact Mr. Hoffer about it. Should Mr. Hoffer not take your case, he will refer you to a competent attorney he trusts and knows personally to handle your unique legal situation.
