About
I am an avid athlete, who, prior to many injuries, competed in running road races as well as cycling and biathlon/triathlon races. For many years, in my spare time, I taught as a Certified Spinning Instructor, hoping that my intensity and sense of humor will transfer to my students. It's a great social outlet and a superb way to relieve stress and connect with people! Now, I take my intensity out on the roads with my bike, competing regularly in time trials (races against the clock). My life experiences are diverse and have included travel and even the experience of being a teacher in an impoverished area. Additionally, I currently serve as the Chair of the Chicago Bar Association Solo and Small Practitioner's Committee. I am also an appointed member of the Chicago Bar Association Chicago Bar Foundation Task Force on Sustainable Practic of Law and Innovation. I reside in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood of Chicago with my wife and our dog, Islay, and our cat, Wilson, all of whom allow me to share space with them.

Mr. Hoffman was prompt and thoughtful with his responses. And what's even more unexpected...is that in the area of law I am inquiring about, he doesn't really practice in, yet it was not above him to still extend a courtesy and still help a brother out with some knowledge. That is selfess and was not necessarily something he had to do. So, Mr. Hoffman...thank you for going the extra step. You're a swell fella. :)
I hired Stephen as a personal injury attorney because I was struck by a car while biking on the Salt Creek Trail at the RT 83 intersection, the great news is I wasn’t critically hurt but I never had to deal with personal injury issues in my life. When I spoke to Stephen the very first time, I told him my story, he told me not to worry because he would care for everything, and make sure I received a fair equitable settlement for my injuries. Stephen did just that, I never needed to follow up with me regarding status because he was on top of my case as if this was the most important case to him, which was done quickly with a fair equitable settlement outcome, I hope to NEVER get into a personal injury incident again but if I do, Stephen will be my first phone call, and he should be yours as well.

Stephen was fantastic to work with. He helped us with a personal injury case and made the process infinitely smoother than we would've imagined. Both in terms of just getting all the paperwork sorted, as well as advising us on dealing with the legal system overall and their lawyers in particular. He kept a positive attitude despite all the roadblocks they threw up, and was very concerned and considerate of doing right by us. We would've settled for much less and had many more ulcers if not for Stephen!
Stephen Hoffman is an awesome lawyer. A master negotiator. Sincere in his concern about his client's well being. Always accessible. Consistently keeps his client abreast on his progress. We were lucky to find him. No one was interested in our case. One lawyer bluntly told us we didn't have a case at all. Others were more polite and said it was not the kind of case that interested them. In our moment of being totally discouraged, someone suggested we call Stephen Hoffman. We made that call, and he began to work on our behalf immediately. We are so pleased and grateful. He is a rare and exceptional person who brings those qualities into his practice. He worked his magic of negotiating skills against settlement offers that were embarrassingly low. He was patient and persistent in pursuing what ultimately resulted in great settlements for us. We are so grateful and pleased that he took us as clients. If you need a great lawyer to help ease your anxiety and maneuver you through a difficult auto injury, call Stephen Hoffman.
I'm very pleased to give only high praise for Stephen. Recovering from injuries sustained in a rear-end car accident was all I could deal with. It was a relief to know that Stephen was working on my case in a professional and timely manner. His personal interest in my recovery gave me extra support, going through this ordeal. I have complete confidence in his expertise and would recommend him to anyone needing help with a personal injury case. I hope I won't need to, but I'll go to him again, if necessary.
I had my first car accident this year and I didn’t have a clue to what I should do. It’s a good thing that my friend recommended Stephen to me as he helped me all the way since day 1. He is always available to answer any question and would guide you properly on the whole entire process. Thanks to him handling my case everything turned out well.
I've used Stephen on two separate occasions, and each time was just an absolute pleasure! He makes sure to keep you abreast on any new developments to your case. He really makes the entire process, which would normally be a headache and stressful, surprisingly pleasant! If you need an amazing personal injury or motor vehicle attorney, you can't get anyone better thank Stephen Hoffman!
I found that Mr. Hoffman to live up to his Top Lawyer ratings He was very effective in the two cases that he handled for me being both aggressive and willing to listen to me at the same time. I have referred friends and family to his firm and will continue to do so. Gerry
I don’t wish an accident to happen to anyone but if this ever happens, I will not hesitate to recommend Atty Stephen L. Hoffman for assistance. He has excellent personal injury negotiating & leverage skills; a lost art in America Mr. Hoffmans blog is a relevant and timely source of information. He answers his phone and my questions promptly and with empathy for my situation. He skillfully navigated the entire process based upon his years of experience from the very first (counter-intuitive) phase to the final (Yipee!) outcome. Maribel M.
I was able to achieve great results with attorney Stephen Lawrence due to his efforts, attentiveness, professionalism, and above all his superb communication skills. Any question or concern I had along the way was promptly addressed and it was very easy putting my trust in him to achieve the desired outcome. My only regret is not finding him sooner.
