My in-laws retained Weissler Law Group in March 2024 under a written Attorney-Client Fee Contract…read more The contract promised a Medi-Cal Planning Trust, revised estate planning documents, and the preparation of California deeds as needed, including the transfer of their Los Angeles residence into the trust. Before signing, my in-laws completed Weissler's intake questionnaire. It disclosed how much Social Security they were receiving. This was already above Medi-Cal's income limits, raising questions about whether the planning approach discussed was viable. Despite this, Joel gave verbal assurances that he would help them apply for Medi-Cal. In March of 2024, my in-laws signed an Attorney-Client Fee Contract, paying $8,000 for the above package of services. In January 2025, Joel confirmed by email that the California home would be transferred later, after resolving a "compensation change," but as of September 2025, this transfer still has not been completed. Verbal Assurances: In addition to Medi-Cal application assistance, Joel agreed to help with related planning items; however, those assurances were not fulfilled. Summary: After 18 months, the Los Angeles home remains outside the trust despite the contract's inclusion of California deeds. The firm also assured assistance with Medi-Cal applications, despite the intake form disclosing income above the eligibility limits. While some documents were drafted, some critical deliverables remain unfulfilled even until today. It is now September 2025 as of this review.

Working with Hoffman & Forde -- specifically Mike Dicks -- was one of the most frustrating…read moreprofessional experiences I've ever had. My sister and I hired the firm to represent us in a construction defect case involving our home. At first, our case was assigned to a junior attorney. When that attorney left the firm, Mike Dicks took over. From that point on, the entire process became far more stressful and chaotic than it needed to be. Instead of feeling like our attorney was advocating for us, it constantly felt like we were being pressured, dismissed, or talked down to. Any time we asked questions or pushed back on changes, we were treated as if we were the problem. One of the most maddening patterns was being told that parts of the settlement agreement were "final." We were repeatedly told we could not make further changes. Then the defense would make additional changes anyway, and suddenly those changes were allowed. When we asked questions about those changes, we were told we were jeopardizing the deal. This happened over and over again and created constant confusion about what was actually finalized and what wasn't. Another major issue was the lack of attention to detail. We provided extensive documentation of the problems with our house, including photos and written descriptions. Despite that, several critical issues were not properly addressed in the settlement scope. My sister repeatedly had to review and redline documents herself just to correct errors or omissions that should have been caught by our attorney. A perfect example involves two large floor-to-ceiling windows. Multiple experts who walked through the house suspected those windows were leaking, but we did not yet have clear documentation of water intrusion. Then, right around the time we were being pushed to sign earlier versions of the settlement agreement, a storm came through. During that storm my sister was able to record water visibly running down the inside of one of the windows. Despite that evidence, those windows were still not included in the final settlement scope, even though they were clearly part of the water intrusion issues affecting the property. The office also seemed extremely disorganized. We were asked multiple times for documents we had already provided. Outdated versions of the settlement agreement were circulated and referred to as the final version. At times it genuinely felt like no one was carefully reviewing the documents being sent to us. We were also repeatedly told the defendants were essentially insolvent and that we needed to accept the settlement because there was no money to pursue. When we asked how that determination had been made, the only documentation referenced was a financial disclosure sheet completed by the defendant himself listing limited assets. We were never informed if the actual business's financial records had been reviewed. Throughout all of this, the firm's partner, Daniel Forde, was copied on many of the communications but never stepped in to address the obvious problems. To be clear, the construction work that is now being completed at the property has addressed many of the defects. In fact, the damage turned out to be so extensive that the contractors ultimately ended up doing far more work than what was originally contemplated in the settlement. But that outcome came despite the legal representation, not because of it. What should have been professional legal guidance instead turned into months of unnecessary stress, confusion, and frustration. Far too often it felt like we were the ones doing the detailed review work while also paying legal fees. If you are considering hiring Hoffman & Forde, I strongly recommend asking very direct questions about who will actually handle your case and how closely documents will be reviewed before anything is finalized. Our experience with Mike Dicks was chaotic, exhausting, and deeply disappointing.
