While we didn't end up working together as bankruptcy was not applicable to my situation, I rarely in this day and age meet any professional in any sector that I don't at least experience some anxiety and reservation over. Because Life is so much more complex these days with the human element becoming less and less. I didn't feel that with Cate one scintilla. Cate is a delight, so easy to converse with and follow. And I love that she is so responsive, because then you can get going fast with a plan. I recommend Cate without any reservation. She is a breath of fresh air.

I highly recommend Cate and I'm more than happy to chat with anyone who wants a personal reference or would like to ask any questions. Ask Cate for my info. All the best on your journey to find a bankruptcy attorney, I can't imagine there is anyone out there better than Cate. Tanya Wilson

If you are already dealing with the shame spiral of credit issues, you need and can get help. We hit that wall and I was lucky enough to have the Cline Law Group pop up first when I searched for a BK attorney in Oakland. Jake is incredibly patient, understanding, and kind through all steps of the process. Need a question answered? He'll set up a Zoom within a couple of days. Think it's going to be a nightmare to get all the info you'll need and submit it? It's not easy but... it was nothing compared to what we imagined. Jake walked us through each step. Jake and his father have been doing this in Oakland for decades. That means you have an attorney very familiar with the local trustees, what they will be looking at, and how to have a successful filing. You will not believe the relief you will feel once you get guidance and learn exactly what to do next. We are now in Chapter 13 and making our monthly payments on schedule. We reached out in early January 2025, were advised to wait until after we filed our 2024 taxes so the process didn't start until March and we are now 6 payments in our plan. No more collection notices, no more phone calls, just one easy payment. Highly recommend!

I chose Hoffman Law after looking into six law firms because Jeff responded the fastest and we had…read morea great initial conversation. I'd never had a lawyer, and I wanted personal, attentive service from an experienced attorney, and that's what he gave me. Jeff was knowledgeable, calm, relaxed, always responded to my emails or calls within 24 hours, often within minutes, and he was always punctual and prepared for our meetings and discussions. His retainer/contract was clear, detailed, and thorough, unlike some others I was offered by other law firms, whose agreements seemed vague and incomplete. His fees were affordable, reasonable, and he worked efficiently. My experience with Jeff showed me how essential it is to have quality, professional counsel, because only a good attorney truly understands the law, and you need that knowledge and guidance. I strongly recommend Jeff Hoffman Law, so definitely contact him. He will respect you, advise you well, and get the job done with care and completeness.

Throughout the entire process, Jeff was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity, and I always felt informed and supported. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled with care, and that dedication made all the difference. Thanks to Jeff's hard work and expertise, my case was resolved in the best possible way. I am beyond grateful for the compassion, integrity, and commitment he showed every step of the way. If you are looking for an attorney who truly cares, communicates with honesty, and fights for you with both heart and skill, I cannot recommend Jeff Hoffman highly enough.
