Warren Hoffman is a smart caring attorney there for your needs,he is honest and trustworthy and does all kinds of law

This review is far from its originally intended due date but better late than never... A few months prior to the pandemic shutting us down, I was going through (what seemed like) a divorce. Given how the normed culture of society tends to lean/favor the mother, I feared I wouldn't see nor have equal rights to raising my newborn daughter. Warren Hoffman started working for me, my rights, days before I retained his firm. At that moment I felt protected and represented- he was calm, cool, knowledgeable, no bells and whistles. I felt good going into their office and finalizing our agreement. Instead of Warren Hoffman, I was assigned Andrea Scampoli. Not knowing her name or reputation, I trusted the firm and agreed to her taking point on my case. What followed in the weeks to come was hard but hopeful because of Andrea. Andrea Scampoli was / is nothing short of a heroic, sharp, intelligent, as-a-matter-of-fact, don't F with her, dangerously good attorney. I'm into superheroes and she genuinely behaved like Wonder Woman. She was stoic, understanding, supportive but not wavering. I must say, she did put the other side's attorney to shame in our first meet. The poor guy seemed flustered and searching for pocket-change comebacks but couldn't find any. Whatever the cost, I knew I invested well. I knew I invested well when Andrea fought for my rights and gave me (and was giving me) all that I wanted: My daughter and the my rights to exercise my fatherhood. She made sure I was equal (if not gaining more) in any deal or agreement or compromise. You just have to work with her, be upfront, be honest, and she'll get you what you need (if your requests are reasonable and sound). That was all of February 2020! And some of March before the pandemic hit and we went through our lockdowns. Happily and warranted, it gave me and my suppose-to-be ex-wife time to heal and understand what happened between us. While the courts went quiet, my wife and I took the time to figure things out and ended up on the better side of it. Despite working things out, Andrea still advised and guided me. Every possible process she took care of without any pain or minimized it. One year since our first court appearances, my wife and I and our daughter are happily and lovingly together. Sometimes you have to get through the dirt in order to raise your garden. Thank you Warren, for picking up my call on Saturday, January 11th, 2020. Thank you for being an exceptional and skilled lawyer. Thank you for finding/hiring Andrea. To the front desk staff, thank you for praying for me and always being sweet, kind, and precise. Andrea, thank you for being my hero, truly. You are gifted, fearless, and a force to be reckoned with. You truly embody Wonder Woman. I am grateful you represented me. I had and have my daughter because of you... To those searching: Please consider Hoffman and Behar if you ever need such kind of help... Ask for Andrea (or Warren!) read more

For a Father who has had 5 Attorneys and twice Pro-Se, I believe my review and recommendation about Warren Holds Water. I was going through a Tumultuous divorce and custody battle for 7 years until I met Warren. The divorce process is an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience trying to find the right Attorney. Unfortunately, If you do not have the right one from the get go, things get worse. They all tell you what you want to hear, such as; I know the Judge in your case, I don't lose custody cases, we need to get you your kid, but it takes time and we have to crawl before you walk. All these Attorneys give you false hope and promises. The Unethical Attorneys which are most of them have their trick. Every Plaintiff and Defendant must fill out a Net Worth Statement, there they can gage how much they are going to take you for. For me, I did pretty well before my divorce financially. These Attorneys take a retainer from you, do a few things that make you think this Attorney is doing a good job. As time goes on and when you get more involved in the case these Attorneys start neglecting you. They don't take your calls or respond to your e-mails. Then they tell you when you finally get in touch with them is that now we have to do a motion and that will cost $1500.00 and everything else they can milk you for. They just keep leading you on until you realize after lining their pockets that you are net getting anywhere. Well, that what happen to me until I ran out of money and had to twice represent myself which I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Warren was recommended to me by my Therapist. I made an Appointment to see Warren and he also had his Associate Andrea Scampoli in the conference room. We reviewed my case and also told him that I had 4 previous Attorneys. Now a Lawyer has to think, What is wrong with this person! But after discussing my situation and told him who my Attorneys were which he knew two of them we then began to go over my case. I than hired Warren and gave him a retainer. We started getting down to business and filed what ever motions were needed and Andrea Actually represented me in Court. There is no messing with her. She gets the job done. Within six months I had what I wanted from day one, which was 50/50 custody. This team represents you with dignity and respect and are sensitive to your situation. They will always call you back and/or respond to e-mails. Warren and Andrea are the dream team when it comes to divorce. I guarantee you will not need to interview another Attorney after speaking with them. Also, once my case was over, I had a credit with Warren and within a couple of days Warren sent me a check The other Gentleman Rick who wrote a review, I know very well as we both had the same Attorney prior to hiring Warren. read more

Hoffman & Behar - Divorce & Family Law Near Me - Garden City, New York

If you are reading this review for the first time, I'm assuming you're looking for a Marital Divorce Attorney. Well, I will tell you this from my own experience most of them are dishonest and will lie to you in your face to get your hard-earned savings and retirement money. The honest ones which are extremely few (2 out of 30) and then you got the dirt bags (98%), the liars and the bloodsuckers. I will tell you to go for a mediator. It will cost you less money, and it will turn out OK with a fair agreement. If that is not possible then you need to be extremely careful who you choose. I wound up picking a very bad attorney, probably one of the worst or the worst attorney on Long Island. Why did I pick a bad attorney because he was a good conman. He promised me everything. Simple as that, he conned me, and he delivered nothing. But he took my money. Who I should have picked is Warren Hoffman. This review, this is about Warren Hoffman and his company. I will tell you for my own experience and my own interviews with over 30 attorneys Warren Hoffman is one of the best out there, he's honest he will tell you straight out what he can and cannot do. He will argue and fight with the judge and the opposing counsel to the end. So, if you're looking for an attorney, Warren is your man. Also, Warren is a mediator too so if this path doesn't work then I would suggest you take a look at Warren Hoffman as a full-service attorney. He is a great guy. He is honest and will tell you the facts straight. Warren also helped me. He will help you. Thanks. read more

After have several bad experiences with Lawyers that have either dropped the ball, impossible contact, slow, and/or padded their hours, I was fed up. Then a friend recommended Warren. Don't let his direct communication style put you off. He was straightforward with me and he got the job done. My ex wife owed me a considerable amount of money to buy me out of our business/alimony. I got almost all of it paid in a lump sum and his rates were extremely fair. Can't say enough good things about him and his firm. read more

Simply put, Warren Hoffman is a man of integrity and empathy. These are the traits that make him stand out from other attorneys. Warren's care for his clients is genuine and his dedication to them is unwavering. I hired Warren a year ago to replace my former divorce attorney who was more "talk" than "action" and dragged out my divorce case for 3 years. Warren not only immediately understood and empathized with my personal situation, his over three decades as a matrimonial and trial attorney was a significant factor in resolving my case efficiently and effectively. Very early on in his representation, Warren validated all of the important things that I sought: a true, experienced trial attorney with expertise in divorce law who cared about and attended to his clients. Warren restored my faith in being able to obtain and receive proper legal representation. He made me realize what it was like to be properly represented and to have a true advocate who protected my rights throughout my entire case. I truly feel that if I met him at the onset of my case 4 years ago and hired him as my attorney, my case would have been resolved much sooner. At every meeting I had with Warren, he was always prepared and his undivided attention was focused on my case. Throughout my case, Warren's strategic mindset logically and quickly sees the multiple steps ahead and he devised action plans that he explained to me in a way that a non-attorney like myself can understand. He always treated me as the client with the utmost respect and he made sure it was acceptable to me before he executes on the action plans, which he does so promptly and efficiently. Additionally, Warren always kept me apprised on the status of the case and the next steps ahead. In the courtroom, Warren is also calm and confident, yet he is fiercely persistent in protecting my rights and being my advocate. Furthermore, Warren has a great team that include other attorneys and office staff, many of whom have worked for him for over 25 years. That is a testament to the loyalty and dedication his colleagues have for him that he also gives to his clients. This review has been my most personal and fulfilling. I feel it is important to let others who are in my situation know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and Warren will guide you there. Not all matrimonial attorneys can be an effective trial attorney; however, Warren is both, and that would have made all the difference in the world to me had I hired him at the onset of my case 4 years ago. Warren's reputation and his decades of experience as a matrimonial and trial attorney are admired--and probably feared by opposing attorneys. He has established respectful and professional working relationships with the Courts and other attorneys. Warren is the consummate professional attorney and there is no one better I could have hired to represent me. Warren resolved my case promptly and efficiently, and now I can finally move forward with my life. A man of Warren's caliber and integrity is rare, and I I am sincerely grateful and humble to have met him and have him in my life. Thank you. read more

I have been a client of Warren's for the past 5 years. He has personally helped me survive the worst 2 years of my life. His professionalism and dedication to my family is unheard of. Warren was my voice when I couldn't have one; my voice of reason when I was too emotional, and my teammate in so many ways. He was available to me whenever I needed him, including his personal time off. Warren readily responded to my emails and phone calls in a time when I needed guidance and reassurance. Warren is a man of integrity who has fought for what I've believed to be the best for my family and has leveled with me when I was unable to see a bigger picture. He was always prepared for meetings; always preparing for the next step and kept me abreast in all conversations and decisions. I have been blessed to have had such a wonderful man and friend in my corner, fighting to protect my family. read more

All these people giving the firm 5 stars are obviously all pals! Both Hoffman and Behar handled my divorce years ago and were thoroughly useless. They did nothing for me and the litigation dragged on for years. The consequence of their representation affected me for decades. Arrogant and incompetent are the perfect words to describe them. read more

I'm so lucky to have been referred to Warren Hoffman. Not only is he an amazing attorney, he's a wonderful human being. I had previously been referred to 2 other male attorneys that treated me horribly. They treated me like I was stupid and that I was wasting their time. I was attempting to get what was owed to me by my ex. When I called Mr. Hoffman's office I explained my problem and my prior experiences with attorneys, his lovely receptionist said that wasn't the way they work. I was called back right away and the problem was taken care of in a matter of weeks. No question was silly and I could always get in touch with him regarding any concerns. I truly don't have the words to explain how thankful I am, and how Mr. Hoffman made a bad situation a little better. Cindy L. read more

I used Ilene Behar in my divorce, let me start by saying her office is totally unprofessional the amount of mistakes her secretaries made were unbelievable. Ilene overbilled me so much that I had to take her to court to fight my bill and I actually won. Although she completed my divorce I am back in court with another attorney cleaning up her mess of all things she forgot to get signed and follow through with. At first you will think she is so nice, then she becomes this animal, she will never sit with you and go over things she talks at you not to you. She has too many cases and doesn't put her all into any of them she is too worried about how much money she is making off of you. Someone else that used her told me the same thing happened to them. She will not do right by you do not use her there are plenty of other attorneys to pick from she will guide you in all the wrong directions as long as she get paid is all she cares about. She will send her paralegal colleen after you like a little snake. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PEOPLE........ read more
