Mr.Hoffman worked with me for almost a year to get me the best deal in my case, he drastically lowered my sentence and kept me out of jail.
His office staff is also very very professional and friendly.
Unfortunately, I was in a bad situation where I was in fault for damaging someone else’s vihecle. I was beyond overwhelmed and stressed due to the severity of the incident. I knew that I needed representation and was fortunate to come across Attorney Ron Hoffman. After accessing my situation, Mr Hoffman assured me that he was going to do everything possible to help me and clear my name. From the very first time we spoke and through the entire process Mr Hoffman made sure that I was taken care of. There was a moment when I shared with him how stressed I was and he replies with “There’s no need to stress, that’s what I’m here for!” I felt confident that things would be ok.
At the end, he was able to avoid any charges being filed. Mr. Hoffman has an admirable work ethic and an expert in his field. He guides you and is with you all along the way!!!
I am beyond grateful and thankful... My future could of been different if I wouldn’t of had Mr. Ron Hoffman representation! If you are in need or debating between attorneys... Well there’s no need for that! Attorney Ron Hoffman is the best and all you need for a successful outcome!!!!
Upfront and direct, Ron does not sugar-coat things with what you want to hear but gives concise guidance and genuine support so that you can get the best possible outcome for your case.
At the end of the day, my case was dropped and the hearing was over within 15 minutes. All due to the fact that Ron had worked tirelessly behind the scenes before the hearing.
My decision to hire Ron was one of the smartest decisions I ever made but not only that, Ron's words of encouragement, direct approach to resolving the issues I was having at the time had a tremendous impact on changing my life around for the better.
Ron was able to finally work his magic and get the misdemeanor dropped to an infraction! I was beyond ecstatic and thankful! It was a very scary situation for myself as I sat in misery for 10 months fearing the unknown and expecting the worst. Ron and Joanie were always there for me and comforted me as if I were family.
I have known Ron for a few years now and would recommend him to anyone who got themselves in a scary situation. I was very fortunate to have Ron on my side, he not only gave me an amazing outcome but even provided valuable lessons that I will continue to use in my daily life.
Ron isn't like the usual lawyer that takes your money, calls you a couple days before the case, and is done with you. He forms a relationship and bonds with you. He fights for you, like you're one of his own. Joannie and Ron guided me through the entire process, like mavericks at their trade simultaneously helping me heal. They gave me the emotional support I needed as well. Let's face it, if you got a DUI, you're probably beating yourself up, the last thing you need is to be judged. Ron and Joannie, never made me feel that way for even a second. He is a great mitigator and always thinks ten steps ahead, so you always are prepared. I highly recommend him as your DUI lawyer, if you need one.
The exceptional thing about working with Ron Hoffman was his attention to the psychology of both client and case. I was in desperate need of not only legal representation, but also guidance. I was reactionary and irrational. Ron provided a steady, calming influence that helped me avoid compounding matters by making additional errors in judgement due to panic and anxiety.
I cannot speak highly enough about the service I received. The results were beyond my wildest expectations. No charges were filed against me. The fact that Ron also offered authentic compassion has helped transform my situation from “hitting rock bottom” to an opportunity for living my best life. That is a priceless gift and I will always be grateful for it.
When it comes to handling the case, TRUST RON! He has built the knowledge base and relationships that will lead you to the best possible outcome. Be cooperative. Be forthright. Follow instructions. TRUST RON HOFFMAN.
I cannot adequately express my thanks. Ron gave me my life back. If you’re reading this, I believe he can do the same for you. Do not procrastinate. Time is essential to your outcome. Call him now. He called me back on a Sunday! Call. Now.
I Highly recommend his experience and services
I cannot thank or recommend Ron and his paralegal, Joanie, enough. They're both incredibly warm human beings and they knew exactly how to handle all my questions and concerns along the way.
I knew that the consequences of my actions were going to be the worse and most stressful days to follow in my life.
Three days after my arrest my best friend referred me to Hoffman and Associates.
I immediately contacted Mr. Hoffman, and explain to him my situation and once I started to talk to him, he explained to me the legal consequences of my situation.
But most important he spoke to me like a psychologist, right away he knew I was dealing with an addiction problem and he gave me the most important advice to help me to get the best outcome of my situation.
He advised me to get professional help before going to court and I did exactly what he advised and that made all the difference in the outcome of my case.
I was looking to serve over 220th days in county jail and he was able to work a great deal for me.
He was able to get me what is known as the 30/30 program 30th days of the county jail and 30th month DUI program. Out of the 30th days, I only served one day I was out of jail in less than 24 hours
My family and I are truly grateful for all his advice and help with my Personal and legal problems.
Thank you, Mr. Hoffman,
Yours truly

I hired Ron Hoffman to help me . He not only fought for me ,but got all my charges dismissed.
He treated me with the upmost respect , And did not judge me for my prior legal troubles .he also taught me that doing the “right thing ... is always the right thing “.
He deserves 10 stars !
Thank you for saving me Mr,. Hoffman. I am very happy with the results. 5stars are not enough.
This is going to sound hyperbolic but I mean it every way. He is a great lawyer first and foremost as this is why you are probably reading this. My case was completely dismissed and I didn’t have to pay a cent, not a penny to the state of California. Sometimes it just makes better financial sense to have a lawyer like Ron and his staff working for you. I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember his assistant’s name but she was also just fantastic. At the risk of making this too long, I am going to just ask you that you believe me that if you are good and cooperative and honest with Ron, not only will you be getting the best possible outcome of your personal case but you will have hopefully found a new friend. He reminds me of so many people in my family which might be why it’s easy for me to love him, and I truly love him. He has spoken to me about personal matters and offered advice that I needed and I am not the kind of guy to listen to others, even family but his advice was so sound and made so much immediate sense. Sometimes it wasn’t advice, it was a commentary that just made sense and I have employed his many lessons into my life and I’m a better person because of him. Sounds like a lot to say about your lawyer who was just a referral.
In case you’re thinking this sounds over the top and is BS that a stranger client would leave such a raging review, I promise on everything I hold dear, I am saying this from the deepest corners of my heart and brain. I am almost glad that my situation happened because without it, I would have never met Ron which has made me a better person, and he got the case fully dismissed anyway.. ;). Thank you Ron. I will always remember you, fondly.

Great LAWER
Accidents happen throughout the course of ones life, and when one did, I cannot begin to explain how relieved I was having Ron & his team fighting for me in my corner. Whatever anxiety experienced surrounding the incident or trepidation rooted in the fear of the unknown, we’re relieved the first day I reached out to Hoffman & Associates.
Talented, professional, and truly caring - Ron will work tirelessly behind the scenes for you. A brilliant & true master at his craft - He knows exactly what pieces to move on the chessboard of the legal system before the match even begins.
I truly wish I could give more than just simply 5stars for this review. Ron, thank you for all of your hard work, guidance, and genuine devotion through this experience!!
Ron, is a man of wisdom. His expertise in his profession over about 3 decades is born out with the results he has achieved for others who reviewed him, and of course, the excellent work, compassion and guidance that he provided.
I really can't praise Ron enough, He kept us well informed and worked quickly in our case to help us avoid something that could have been very serious.
Searching out and finally clicking on Ron's website, and paying his legal fees were definitely worth the effort and expense.
You will not go wrong if you need Ron's services, and from day 1 talking with him and his staff you will realize that you are making the right choice.
Thank You,
Erby L. Foster, III
Very professional, courteous and prompt with staying in contact with us as clients.
We couldn’t have found a more-qualified and dedicated attorney to help us navigate our legal issues.
Highly recommended. Wonderful experience that reaffirms one’s faith in the legal process.

He is a very passionate and caring annorney. Ron is a Joy to talk with and will help guide you in the process of fixing your problem.
Ron spent a lot of time helping me even tho he was not able to take my case. Unfortunately, he already had a nother case on my court date.
He went the extra mile to refer me to one of his associates who is going to help me with my case.
I can't thank him enough!
The situation seemed hopeless. This had never happened with me before and the charges were against my honesty and could tarnish my good record. The stress I was going through was mind boggling. Sometimes bad choices or wrong priority can lead to something which is crime according to the law. Same thing happened with me. I made a wrong choice of leaving the scene of accident however an excellent choice in choosing an attorney. I saw the reviews online for Hoffman and Associates. Looking at the extensive experience and success in similar cases I immediately called and hired Attorney Ron Hoffman. My personal situation was such that I could not afford to be charged with this offense let alone convicted.
Mr. Hoffman understood my situation and he felt very sympathetic to it. He assured me that he would not let anything happen to me and considered to be case of his own. It was very difficult for me to accept the fact but it was really magic in his words that made me stronger. It was my first day appearance at the court and I was stressed to my bones but as I saw him coming out of the court room I felt something different like his positive aura was surrounding me. He was not only an excellent Attorney to me but he reminded of my Grandfather. He not only supported me emotionally but also gave me tips for staying strong in such a stressful situation. I couldn’t recall how strong mentally I became after our first face to face interaction.
The District Attorney and Mr. Hoffman agreed that if the victim was satisfied with the arrangement of compensation for his damages they would elect not to pursue the case. This situation is also known as a civil compromise. However it was very difficult for me to reach the lady (victim) and the insurance company was not so co-operative on my side. After a long wait Mr. Hoffman finally called the lady and got her to sign the civil compromise. With a little bit of luck on my side, the lady seemed really nice but more important was Mr. Hoffman’s magical words that lead her to sign the agreement.
Mr. Hoffman then set to work negotiating with the victim; in the end, the victim agreed to accept compensation and sign an agreement indicating she was satisfied with the arrangement even though I did not compensate her. It did not stop there, the D.A decided not to drop the case until the victim was fully compensated. During that time the things were slow and Mr. Hoffman really asked me to be patient with the situation. The Victim finally contacted me and I compensated her completely. When Mr. Hoffman provided the agreement signed by the victim to the court the case against me was DISMISSED. I never admitted guilt, I never suffered a conviction and I was not required to pay any money to the court.
I owe my life to Mr. Ron Hoffman. He not only provided me criminal justice but also made me strong during this psychological warfare. He takes into account every possible advantage while developing strategies and really cares about his clients. I would strongly recommend him as a criminal defense attorney for any hit and run or criminal cases.
If you are reading this right now you are probably in need of some type of legal help so I am writing this for you, because I was recently in the same situation. I am a college student that got in a little bit of trouble (ok maybe not so little) early this year. I tried to "fix" things on my own with the help of other not-so-reliable people and only found myself in more trouble than I had started with. Desperately, I starting looking online and calling around for free consultations on what I need to do. I knew I found the right person as soon as Ronald Hoffman picked up the phone. From the start, he seemed very knowledgeable and familiar with my type of case. He told me right upfront what he could help me do, how much he would charge, and what his goal was for the outcome of my case. The payment plans he offers made his services possible for me to afford (I am in my early 20s). So I hired him to fight with me on my case. We established great rapport, talking for extensive amounts of time going over the case over and over. We were able to come up with a great plan, in which he and I both did our jobs. Ronald Hoffman went to court on my behalf the majority of the time for my case (I only had to physically go in once, for like 30 minutes total; in and out), allowing me to remain in school and not skip class. I really appreciated the communication skills and experience that this attorney provided me. I was really skeptical at first, especially with some of the things he advised. Nonetheless, I chose to trust in his words and just follow through with the plan we had proposed. To my surprise, everything happened just like he had said it would. I did everything he said, everything happened the way he has described, and my case was settled; no jail time, no huge fees, no nothing, just some probation and a couple hundred dollars' worth of court assessment fees. Great Job Ron Hoffman and Associates!
When I called his office and spoke to Joanie who made me feel VERY comfortable over the phone by the way. Not even 10 minutes goes by and I already was getting a call from Ron Hoffman and I spent over an hour with him over the phone. My heart was beating so fast but after talking with Ron, my nerves began to calm down. He was very professional not only regarding the law but in life. He guided me through the whole entire process and we had both worked together on this case.
It took the DA 3 months to file the charges and originally the charges should of been a Felony but Ron got them to drop it to a Misdemeanor right off the bat which was huge deal. That right there (My Friend) is impressive because if it was not easy by any means for Mr.Hoffman, I literally would of been screwed over by simply going with a public defender.
The next step was getting me into DUI court and Mr. Hoffman negotiated to the DA since he thought it would be a good fit for me. Not only did we go and find out that they would not accept me in DUI court because of my charge (23153) DUI with Injury and both Harbor and Westminster courts in (Orange County). So far it has been 12 months dealing with this case.
Here it is the last and final attempt to try and work out a deal. Mr.Hoffman does the Unthinkable and got the DA to drop my charges from a (23153) DUI with Injury to a (23152) Regular DUI. That is really amazing because it is not an easy task to pull off a move like that. I was orginally looking at doing 240 days in jail to him dropping it down all the way to 75 days in jail. Yes I know this is not idea but it is better than the other alternatives the DA was wanting.
Thank you Joanie and Mr.Hoffman for all of your support through this whole entire nightmare of a process. Hands down the best attorney I have ever had.
He took my case head on from the moment I called his office. I was involved in an accidental hit and run where I was unaware of the injury. Every step of the way, Ron guided me through an almost two year long investigation and court settlement process and was constantly by my side through out every crossroad. He carefully explained every nuance and possibility during every stage of the investigation. He took personal time to meet with my family and myself to better know us and the course of events of my accident. He met with the DA on several occasions and explained my side of the story. He never gave up on getting the best outcome possible.
Once, when we were at court and I was waiting outside the court room. Ron was negotiated with the DA inside the court room and kept coming out to brief me on the proceedings. A guy came up to me and asked who is that guy who keeps coming out and talking to you. I said that is my lawyer. He said to me, wow, I wish I had a lawyer who cared about me that much. This is just one example of how Ron is an exceptional representative to anyone who needs help.
He would call on weeknights, weekends and holidays to check in, making sure I was comfortable about how things were progressing, what we were going to do at the next step and just seeing how my family and I were doing emotionally. We had several meeting to formulate strategy and to answer any questions I had for him.
Once charges were filed, it looked very hopeless. But Ron, continued to formulate strategies and plans to battle a formidable DA . This process went on for almost two years and Ron was with us at every stage of the fight. Through his persistence and mastery of the law, he reduced my possible years in prison to no jail time and the possibility of a future.
Ron possesses a quality of understanding of psychological warfare that is unparalleled in the criminal justice process. He explores so many different angles to get the very best outcome for his client and genuinely cares for the people he represents. It actually makes me laugh by saying client because Ron has become a close family friend who I depend on not only for legal advice but as a friend to rely on in a difficult situation.
My only regret is I can't give him 10 stars, Ron has saved my life and the life of my family. We will forever be in his debt.
What a mistake!
Ronald goes above and beyond with his art and knowledge of custom strategy according to your case.
lawyer of the year (every year).
-- He makes the effort to understand not just the facts of the case but also the circumstances.
-- He takes the time to guide you through what you need to do not just to get past the legal trouble but also in the future.
And then there is his courtroom magic.
We watched another attorney walk right into a brick wall. Not even the bailiff gave him the time of day as he was forced to grind his way through the bureaucratic mill. Our hearts sank as we realized what we were up against.
When Mr. Hoffman walked in, the aloof prosecutor followed along and the imperious judge let him lead the way. Mr. Hoffman was in total command of the situation. Not only did he make things go the way he wanted, he also found the time to keep coming back to tell us what was going to happen.
Mr. Hoffman did a lot more than work out a terrific deal for us.
-- He demonstrated that attorneys shelter clients from the outside world even as they coax, guide, and scold them to do the right thing.
-- He proved that the legal system can be fair and rehabilitative.
-- He protected the good record.
-- He showed how to work to keep it that way.
We truly appreciate all that Mr. Hoffman has done. We remain in his debt.
