A consummate professional who guided us through a complex divorce

After 22 years of marriage, my divorce involved intricate business valuations and custody concerns. David Hofstein’s nearly five decades of experience, particularly his deep knowledge of modern family law, was immediately evident. He was strategic yet compassionate, explaining every nuance without jargon. His recognition by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers wasn't just an award on the wall; it translated into a meticulously crafted settlement that protected my financial future and my relationship with my children. His team at Hofstein Meyer Rocco was seamless. I felt represented by a true authority in Philadelphia family law, and the outcome was profoundly fair.
