I would highly recommend Attorney Greg Hoffman. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly has a calming and compassionate demeanor. He was quick to answer all of my questions at any time and explained the processes in a very thorough manner along the way. While tirelessly advocating for me, he settled my case, and I was able to receive well above my expectations. I am immensely grateful to Greg for the help he provided, and I would highly recommend!

Greg was better than I could have imagined. My case came up just a few days before I was supposed to leave the country and he handled it perfectly. He talked with the judges and prosecutors to move my court dates earlier so I was able to travel, explain my situation and worked out a solution that allowed me to continue my plans as if nothing happened. Even while out of country he has been in contact with me for resolutions on all matters. Everything in my power will make sure I never need a lawyer again, but if so, or if someone I know needs a recommendation, I will not hesitate to give them Greg’s contact. If more than 5 stars were possible, I’d give 10.

I hired Gregory Hoffman to represent me in a civil case against an ex-partner of mine in December of 2020. I will start off by saying that every case is different, and therefore, every outcome is different. Below is an account of my unique case and experience with Gregory Hoffman. My case was kind of a two-parter and because of this, Mr. Hoffman and I had to appear in court a couple of times. Both times, Mr. Hoffman was incredible enough to travel over an hour from Rhode Island to Massachusetts where my case was being heard, and both times he wasn’t just punctual; he was early. I’ve heard horror stories of people waiting for their lawyers to show up for hours, and I’ve even heard some where the lawyer doesn’t show at all. Rest assured, Gregory Hoffman will show and he will be there on time, if not early. Mr. Hoffman, himself, was quite professional. In court he was well dressed, articulate, calm, confident, and when it came to knowing the “rules of the game”, as they pertained to Massachusetts law, he was very well versed. He made sure that in the weeks leading up to the court date he and I were both thoroughly equipped with all the documentation we needed to aid us in emerging victorious. What really speaks to the professionalism of any lawyer, though, is what hopes and dreams they try and sell you about your case. Please be aware that any good lawyer, will not attempt to sell you a single one. A good lawyer will not give you any false hope, nor make any promises nor guarantees as to the outcome of your case, and Gregory Hoffman was up front about this with me right from the start. He also didn’t compare my case with any other, either. He treated my case as its own unique entity and that’s exactly what I was looking for in representation. Mr. Hoffman was also very compassionate and understanding when it came to me and the details of my case. Again, I’ve heard horror stories where lawyers will not walk through things with their clients because they don’t care, don’t have the time, or both. Once again, rest assured that Gregory Hoffman has a heart and actually cares about his clients. He was always readily available to answer any and all questions I had, he explained things clearly so that I understood, and he even made time after the second hearing to talk to me and give his opinion on my then situation, which I appreciated and valued very much. The Court’s decision after the second hearing did, indeed, result in victory for us. Again, this review is not to guarantee a win should you hire Gregory Hoffman, but my opinion based on my personal experience is; if you do hire Mr. Hoffman, your chances of coming out on top and satisfied with your outcome are pretty high. ;)

I will preface this by saying divorce is costly and in the end I still had to pay a large settlement to my ex-husband. Very little can negate that and the emotional pain of a divorce. But having a good lawyer see you though makes a world of difference. Greg was courteous, professional and easy to get along with. He kept me informed of developments as well as worked with me to develop an optimal strategy. If I ever had a doubt or question he was quick to answer. The confusing process of a legal divorce was made manageable with his assistance. I often took comfort in knowing he was working on my case. Ultimately, while the final settlement was costly I feel assured that this was the best that we could have achieved. I highly recommend Greg. It was a pleasure working with him!

I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He basically saved my future career plans. I would have a criminal record right now if it wasn't for him helping me get my first ever charge, for a minor crime, removed from my record. He genuinely cares about you as a human being and takes into consideration how things will affect your life. You can tell he truly wants to help and I am so grateful to have had a lawyer like him as my attorney. It is crazy how one mistake can possibly ruin your life in the long run. I don't even want to think about how I would have had to forget about my dreams and aspirations. I am 22 years old so I have plenty of time to reach said goals and thanks to him I can continue to work towards them. Thank you!

Greg and his team were amazing!!!! Every email was answered in a timely manner, even if Greg, wasn’t in the office he still replied, every question was answered in a way so that I could understand, and he explained the process thoroughly. Greg and his team, kept me informed on changes and updates without me having to follow up. I honestly felt like Greg cared about my case and the losses we endured, like we mattered. He treated us with kindness and respect. He went above and beyond to make sure the kids and I got what we deserved. Greg and his team, also got the case closed within less than 2 years, which is impressive especially in the times of COVID-19. I would highly recommend Greg and Barton Gilman, to anyone in need of legal services. I can’t thank them enough l!!!

He was extremely helpful with my divorce. Gave me advice on how to behave in certain situations. Greg helped me win my division and custody of my son. I can move on peacefully thanks to him.

I hired attorney Hoffman to represent me in an insurance claim after a bad car accident. I met with him at his office where he was punctual and courteous. Greg explained all the possibilities involved in a manner that was easy to understand and answered all the questions I had. During the months the process flowed smoothly and I was encouraged to call at any time with other questions I may have had. The claim ended successfully. I was so impressed with the level of service and kind friendly professional character of Greg Hoffman that I hired him to do my will and estate planning. Due to the nature of my injuries he included the option of meeting several different places to get the needed information. He listened carefully and with empathy then produce accurate documents to be signed. Due to Covid-19 he improvised a safe procedure to get them witnessed and signed all while being extremely short staffed. I will continue to use attorney Greg Hoffman’s services as he is knowledgable, trustworthy, and efficient while being compassionate to the nature of personal situation.

I spoke to two other lawyers/firms before hiring Gregory. I selected him because he was direct and showed expertise in his field. During our work together I appreciated his guidance and ability to explain complex matters easily. He was speedy with his replies and available when needed. Because of this, we completed our task within the set deadline. I recommend Gregory and would work with him again.

I had the best experience possible with Greg Hoffman. He really did make a less than desirable situation as smooth and easy to deal with as possible. Up front honesty, timely responses to any of my questions, and immediate action put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. Greg was able to settle the situation quickly which ended up saving me a bunch of money! Greg is an awesome guy who just wants to do right by his clients. Would highly recommend giving him a call!
