Client Testimonials

0103

I personally worked with Mr. Hoffman who provided me with prompt, detailed and sound legal advice. I was in a situation where the seller of my home cut corners and he helped me get out of paying an arm and a leg by using his expertise to demonstrate why the seller was responsible. Don't look any further for your legal needs.

Patrick W.

Sky and Dan are great to deal with on matters of real estate and business. Cogent, concise, and pragmatic legal advice. I feel very well represented and have been treated fairly when it comes to their fee schedule. I am very selective when it comes to giving referrals and Hoffman & Forde have never dropped the ball when I have sent them one.

Patrick C.

Why We Love Los Angeles

Los Angeles is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world! Due to the large number of immigrants who call L.A. home, the city is a culinary empire. The “City of Angels” has also contributed significantly in literature, architecture, entertainment, music, and art. With 300 museums and more than 100 accredited colleges and universities, Los Angeles does not disappoint. There are mountain ranges in Santa Monica and San Gabriel, deep valleys, rivers, forests, and waterfalls. L.A. is ideal for hikers, mountain bikers, and general outdoors enthusiasts. Ocean lovers will relish the gorgeous beaches of Malibu and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Los Angeles has something for everyone to enjoy.

The Climate

Classified as a Mediterranean climate, Los Angeles is mostly warm and dry most of the year. Winters see some rainfall.
