About
I am originally from Upstate New York. I studied law at the State University of New York at Buffalo and graudated in 2003. Upon graduation, I escaped to Florida to stay warm and be near family. I was admitted to the Florida Bar in November 2003. I lived in Orlando and practiced for about 8 years before relocating to South Florida. During that time, I also received my masters in business administration from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I now live with my family in Hollywood, Florida. I practice family law and I take cases in Southeast Florida and Central Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Volusia, and Brevard counties. I am available to help you with your dissolution of marriage, divorce, paternity, child support, equitable distribution, alimony, contempt and enforcement or other family law matter.

I've never gone through a Family or Child Custody case in my life, but after surviving 6 gunshot wounds up close by an ex-boyfriend for not wanting to be in a relationship anymore; I found myself not only fighting for my life, but for the life of my 6 year old son who was removed from my care due to the nature of the incident. At first I was appointed a public defender, and for 6+ months I was in and out of court watching this public defender lose every custody case right before my eyes, and then I was up next. The day I hired Mary Zogg was the day I fired the public defender for telling me due to past behaviors on my part I may not ever get custody of my son again. I cried as if my child had died that day because the pain felt like "losing someone" Mary Zogg comforted me on this day as I walked into her office after being referred by another lawyer advising she's one of the best lawyers for cases dealing with children. My first thought of Mrs. Zogg after meeting her was very warm, funny and friendly. She made me smile after the chain of events that I've gone through. She listened to me as she wrote on her pad and allowed me to get the hurt out without stopping me from over talking. I didn't know her from Adam, but for some reason I felt a sense of light and calmness being in her presence. I remember that Monday I was up for reunification with my son and all of my parenting rights was revoked by the judge, and I was told that I may never get my son again, but Mary looked me in my eyes and said "We will see about that". I remember my first court date with Mrs. Zogg. I was nervous of what was going to be said by the judge because he seemed to be on the same side as DCF and everyone else that appeared against me, and I didn't understand because I was the victim. The court room was like a circus before Mary Zogg, but when I walked in with her everyone seemed very fearful, and the courtroom had some how gone from a circus to something you see on T.V. (i.e. professional). All of the bogus stories all of a sudden got corrected and even the judge seemed got his stuff together, and caught amnesia as to why certain things were happening. I was like WOW! I should've been hired Mrs. Zogg. It is December 2017 and I'm almost finished with my case, but the way Mrs. Zogg fight I see why she is rated one of the best lawyers that one could ever hire. Mrs. Zogg doesn't play when it comes down to her clients and she SMILES while delivering a DEATH BLOW! Mrs. Zogg will literally walk the LIONS for you. I am definitely taking notes from her because she never gets mad or angry while fighting your case, she actually smiles and that's when the other side realizes they're in trouble. "She puts me in the mind of Columbo and MatLock" and it's interesting seeing her interact with everyone. Sometimes it doesn't take a tough attitude or foul language to make your opponents back up, Mrs. Zogg knows that FACTS and a SMILE will get the job done! I will give another update of the outcome once my case is finished, but as of now I have regain life's opportunities back and I'm confident of how she's handling things.
Mary handled my divorce case very well. She was very professional and accurate. I never had any problems and she explained every step by step very well, helping me get the case processed quickly and without any issue.
Mrs. Hoftiezer is a great attorney, she took the time needed to go over all aspects of my divorce, and answered all the questions that I had. She was very responsive to my multiple emails. She was professional at all times through the whole process.
Mary Hoftiezer is an excellent attorney who is very knowledgeable and informative. She was very helpful with all of the required paperwork for mediation. She always kept us informed with updated information. We would highly recommend Mary Hoftiezer!
Divorce is, by its very nature, an unpleasant event in a person's life. It is in mine. But it can also be a mine field. Ms. Hotfiezer was recommended to me by a friend of the family and I am so glad that he made the recommendation and that I listened to him. From our first meeting I've felt confident in her abilities to legally represent me and she has continued to validate my initial impression. She's straight-forward, she breaks down what's needed and what's going to happen in clear and understandable terms, and she has patently responded to my many questions (as I am not a lawyer). Now that we are entering into the court/meditation phase and I have seen her in her element, I am not exaggerating when I say that I am glad she's in my corner, representing my interest ... she's got my back. When we entered mediation, she/we were ready. All our forms and information was compiled. The divorce is not over but I know that in the end she will make sure that I will be legally protected.
My Trust had become out of date due to many life changes over 15 years and I engaged Mary to review and update the contents. Properties had changes, martial status had changed and children had grown up. I now have a document that reflects the changes that were necessary, thanks to Mary.
Ms Hoftiezer assisted me in a child support recalculation. She kept a cool head and provided excellent feedback during the process. She helped to educate me on how the process works and what my rights were as they related to child support for the children. I now rely on Mary to provide insights when needed and I know that if I need her services again, she will go to bat for our family.
Mary Hoftiezer has represented me on two separate occasions: my divorce & parenting plan clarification. In each time I had to appear in court, I had the confidence knowing I had the best representation possible. Mary is painstakingly through in all that she does. She knows the law, respects it & comes prepared.
Mary is a superior attorney in terms of her professionalism and keen knowledge of the law. I had a very complicated case that was extremely stressful for me and my children and she did a masterful job. I recommend her highly.
I highly recommend Mrs. Hoftiezer. My case was child support and relocation related, and she did a phenomenal job representing me plus we won! In my opinion she is the best lawyer practicing family law! I hired her because she took the time to explain every detail to me, and gave me a very thorough explanations.
