As a woman navigating both a DV case and now divorce proceedings, feeling safe, heard, and protected was incredibly important to me, and he has consistently provided that situation after situation. He is not only knowledgeable and strategic, but also kind, patient, and responsive during some of the most stressful moments of my life. He knows the Ventura County family court system intimately, which gave me a tremendous sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the process. I always feel like he truly cares about my wellbeing and my future, not just the legal outcome. Having someone I trust advocating for me has made a huge difference during this process.

Review: Jeffrey L. Hoffer - Hoffer Family Law Firm…read more I was the respondent in this case, and I want to share my experience with Jeffrey L. Hoffer of Hoffer Family Law Firm. He is highly knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He understands how to handle difficult and complicated cases and works toward achieving a fair outcome. He is very familiar with the court system and knows how to navigate it effectively. I found him to be a fair attorney who approaches matters with professionalism and balance. His pricing is also reasonable for the level of expertise he provides. Overall, I appreciate the guidance and representation he provided during a challenging time.

Hindsight is everything, Jim knows the Ventura County Court better than anyone and worse way to learn about who you don't want to hire is to do just that. Make your first move by calling Jim, you WILL NOT regret it. If it were possible to elaborate more than this, I would. Take my word for it, there's every reason to do so and no reason not to.

Attorney Art Zittell might as well walk around permanently with a ski mask and pistol because he…read moregashed me for 29K in an 8 month period to represent me as my divorce attorney. My ex-wife was represented by some clown named Sundeen (Who was a 1/3 the price) who ran circles around Zittell constantly during the case. He should've quit the profession on that fact alone but he has to pay for his luxurious lifestyle some way. The most important part of my divorce was the selling of our house in Simi Valley .I had to constantly ask Zittell what was going on with my case. Zittell would always come back with "I have to call Randy" (Sundeen) You could tell Zittell was preoccupied with other cases because he forgot my ex-wifes name, occupation, numerous times. Once I started getting fed up with his lack knowledge of the case, his continuous concessions to my ex-wife during the case and me paying him close to 3K a month I confronted him in an email .....he proceeded to tell me to find another attorney. I panicked and apologized because I didn't know better. This continued for two more months of the same crap representation. I finally got the balls to see 3 other lawyers to possibly take over and all three said Zittell was not representing me correctly and that if you're not a HIGH Income client Zittell puts you at the bottom of the priority list which was obviously the case here. So once I replaced Zittell with a lawyer that gave a crap about my case do you think I was done with Zittell? Nope. He walks into my lawyer a few weeks later telling him that I still owe him another $2,600 !!!! WTF The 25K with zero results wasn't good enough for Zittell? Needless to say I blew off paying him the balance at that time because I was paying for a new lawyer, rent, utilities in 2 locations etc....what did Zittell do next? Lein my house that was for sale !!!! The guy is a complete tool and the State BAR will be paying him a visit real soon. I have too many emails and other info to prove his negligence of this case and the over billing. Lastly I will say this if you're thinking of using Zittell as your attorney ....it's like paying a Maserati price tag for a TATA GenX Nano.

You know those viral internet videos of people slipping and falling that give you a hearty laugh?…read moreWell, allow me to let you in on a secret: it's not funny at all when you're the one doing the falling. On January 3, 2022 I had a nasty fall near the checkout area of a large, discount big-box retailer. I will redact the store name for NDA purposes but it's the one you love and not the one you tease. When trying to stand up; I fell again! I was immediately in pain, filed a store report and the next day - opted to visit a chiropractor/physical therapist to assess my bodily damage versus the emergency room and that is when the Law Offices of Gerald Marcus came into the picture. While at the physical therapist, the staff found multiple injuries to varying degrees and mentioned that I absolutely had to sue the store in order to have the medical costs covered. They have worked with Gerald Marcus before and gave them a call on my behalf. Gerald Marcus is a personal injury law firm so we're talking car accidents, slip and falls, work injuries, etc. Don't worry - they aren't one of those sketchy personal injury lawyers with cheesy jingles and corny billboards. They have won countless litigation and settled cases worth monetary amounts you can only dream of; plus have expert lawyers/staff that can handle these cases with their eyes closed. I knew I would be in good hands even though this would be my first experience with attempting to sue anyone let alone a billion-dollar enterprise. I initially received a call from Luis Garcia, the Attorney Investigator. Luis was super friendly and made me feel welcome into the Gerald Marcus family. He came to my apartment directly and arrived with my retainer/on-boarding paperwork. He was very reassuring and thoroughly explained the next steps that would take place. Shortly thereafter, I received a phone call from Gerald Marcus himself! The head honcho! The big kahoona! Although I was slightly intimidated; he too welcomed me and was very serious about the importance of my case and all the work they would do on my behalf. Being a super detail-oriented individual; I truly appreciated this. While in physical therapy, Gerald Marcus was working in the background to prepare for a settlement and if it came to it: a litigated case. I received phone calls from Matt Crayon every 5-6 weeks checking in on my medical status and asking if I needed anything/had any questions. I would have liked these calls to be a bit more frequent but I realize that being I was still in physical therapy; there wasn't anything monumental going on with my case, anyway. As time went on and I reached the end of my medical care; this is where the fun NCIS stuff came into play! Okay, not really, because this isn't TV plus not a criminal case. But, this was the point when court filings took place, contacts to the store's insurance company were made, forms were signed by me to prepare for a future deposition and I was assigned to lawyer Vincent (Vinnie) Consolo. Vinnie is a master at his craft and I knew he would take care of my interests. Plus, his picture is next to 'handsome' in the Webster Dictionary... he's a looker!  Wow! Sorry, let's return to more professionalism, shall we? Vinnie maintained communication through email and text and was flexible with deadlines. My only complaint was that there were times Vinnie seemed slightly annoyed/impatient with me or I didn't feel he was explaining things on my level. It felt like he expected me to already know the deal but I didn't - I've never done this before! Other than that, I absolutely recommend Vinnie. Expanding on that, one of the office assistants was also slightly unprofessional in her demeanor to me on the phone which I mentioned to Vinnie and he must have addressed this because she was very kind the next time we spoke. So again, my only qualm with Gerald Marcus is their slight habit of occasionally getting disagreeable and this is an area they should address. When all was said and done (my case was settled outside of court and yours truly would be getting a check!); I visited the office to grab my check and finally meet Vinnie in real life. The office building is beautiful: spotless, modern and with an adorable lobby area and this can also be said of the actual law office. Modern lines, airy -high ceilings, large windows with natural light, sports memorabilia lining the walls... this office was niiicccee! I met with Vinnie, met the main man Gerald Marcus, the rest of the staff, received a tour, talked about my case and honestly: felt like I wasn't just a client but also a friend! There was a lovely, personable element and I appreciate that being they take on hundreds and hundreds of cases at once (they even send out Christmas cards to clients!). I would absolutely recommend the Law Offices of Gerald Marcus for your personal injury needs and would give them a call myself if I suffer from another fall. Thanks Luis, Matt, Mr. Marcus and of course: Vinnie.
