Although mr. Greenwald is diligent, he was not analytical. He went through the motions, and billed us too much for a simple case that settled for less than the fees paid to the lawyers.

We hired Mr. Greenwald because of recommend of another client who later had a fight with Greenwald. He and his lesser partner defended us, a foreign company from a lawsuit filed by a Kazakhstan plaintiff. We obtained so far positive results but paid a too much money for the work that was provided.

NRG Resources, Inc. engaged Greenwald & Hoffman LLP of Santa Ana, CA in connection with various legal disputes including a lawsuit against several former executives and consultants, who also counter-sued our company. Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman urged us to switch from Sheppard Mullin, a large law firm that had been representing us in this and other litigation matters together with Greenberg & Traurig. Several weeks before trial, a dispute developed between us and Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman regarding the amount of their bills, which we believed were excessive. It was a very stressful time for our company. Indeed, even though we had paid Greenwald & Hoffman high six figures in fees, they threatened to withdraw from the case only a few weeks before trial if we did not pay them in full their latest bill. They followed through on the threat, and left us only a few weeks before trial. By doing so Paul Greenwald and Paul Hoffman put our company and us in an extremely difficult and uncertain position, and we had to scramble to find a lawyer on the eve of trial to save our case. To add insult to injury, Greenwald and Hoffman then sued us for fees they alleged we still owed, but waited until after the statute of limitations for professional malpractice expired presumably in order to avoid the possibility of getting sued by us. Although some aspects of the service Greenwald & Hoffman provided were adequate, we believe that Greenwald & Hoffman turned out to be more expensive than the big firms we had relied on in the past. The bottom line is that the value to benefit ratio did not work for us with Greenwald & Hoffman. Overall we did not have a good experience with Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman of Greenwald & Hoffman. We were not pleased with the value or results, and we would not recommend them.

I was a client of Greenwald & Hoffman (Paul Evan Greenwald and Paul Austin Hoffman) of Santa Ana CA for approx. 3 years. They represented several entities that I had some involvement with, and they represented me and my family as well. We treated them well, and referred paying clients to them. They abandoned me last minute during discovery, but not after billing me close to $40k for a case that settled for a fraction of this amount - not as a result of their work, which was in my and my new attorney's view minimal. Then, they sued me for their fees after the statute of limitations expired. This is shameful behavior. i am not posting my name out of concern for retribution, which both of Greenwald and Hoffman have threatened.

My company hired Greenwald & Hoffman to help us expand to the United States. Paul Greeenwald was our main contact, and lead attorney. Once Greenwald & Hoffman recived our payment all contacts seemed to stop. Paul Greenwald would not take my calls and I was sent to his voicemail. Even though Greenwald & Hoffman completed all required work I feel that the rate they charged should warrant more contact and better client relationship management.

To add insult to injury, Greenwald and Hoffman then sued us for fees they alleged we still owed, but waited until after the statute of limitations for professional malpractice expired presumably in order to avoid the possibility of getting sued by us. Although some aspects of the service Greenwald & Hoffman provided were adequate, we believe that Greenwald & Hoffman turned out to be more expensive than the big firms we had relied on in the past. The bottom line is that the value to benefit ratio did not work for us with Greenwald & Hoffman. Overall we did not have a good experience with Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman of Greenwald & Hoffman. We were not pleased with the value or results, and we would not recommend them.

I was a client of Greenwald & Hoffman (Paul Evan Greenwald and Paul Austin Hoffman) of Santa Ana CA for approx. 3 years. They represented several entities that I had some involvement with, and they represented me and my family as well. We treated them well, and referred paying clients to them. They abandoned me last minute during discovery, but not after billing me close to $40k for a case that settled for a fraction of this amount - not as a result of their work, which was in my and my new attorney's view minimal. Then, they sued me for their fees after the statute of limitations expired. This is shameful behavior. i am not posting my name out of concern for retribution, which both of Greenwald and Hoffman have threatened.

My company hired Greenwald & Hoffman to help us expand to the United States. Paul Greeenwald was our main contact, and lead attorney. Once Greenwald & Hoffman recived our payment all contacts seemed to stop. Paul Greenwald would not take my calls and I was sent to his voicemail. Even though Greenwald & Hoffman completed all required work I feel that the rate they charged should warrant more contact and better client relationship management.

Although mr. Greenwald is diligent, he was not analytical. He went through the motions, and billed us too much for a simple case that settled for less than the fees paid to the lawyers.

We hired Mr. Greenwald because of recommend of another client who later had a fight with Greenwald. He and his lesser partner defended us, a foreign company from a lawsuit filed by a Kazakhstan plaintiff. We obtained so far positive results but paid a too much money for the work that was provided.

NRG Resources, Inc. engaged Greenwald & Hoffman LLP of Santa Ana, CA in connection with various legal disputes including a lawsuit against several former executives and consultants, who also counter-sued our company. Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman urged us to switch from Sheppard Mullin, a large law firm that had been representing us in this and other litigation matters together with Greenberg & Traurig. Several weeks before trial, a dispute developed between us and Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman regarding the amount of their bills, which we believed were excessive. It was a very stressful time for our company. Indeed, even though we had paid Greenwald & Hoffman high six figures in fees, they threatened to withdraw from the case only a few weeks before trial if we did not pay them in full their latest bill. They followed through on the threat, and left us only a few weeks before trial. By doing so Paul Greenwald and Paul Hoffman put our company and us in an extremely difficult and uncertain position, and we had to scramble to find a lawyer on the eve of trial to save our case.
