Criminal Defense & DUI/DWI
Our criminal defense attorneys have defended complex criminal litigation in both state and federal courts. Our criminal defense team has special expertise in defending clients charged with violent crimes, such as assaults, sex offenses and murder as well as extensive experience defending drug, alcohol, gun-trafficking and DUI/DWI offenses.
Divorce & Family Law
Our family law and divorce attorneys bring experience, understanding and individualized attention to our clients. The attorneys, both parents themselves, treat each client with sensitivity, while pursuing his/her interests in the best arena for success, whether that is mediation, out-of-court settlement or in-court evidentiary hearings.
Labor & Employment
Hoff Curtis' attorneys have a unique perspective on labor and employment law. Our attorneys work to analyze all sides and provide the most sound legal advice. We like to think of this labor and employment with a heart.
Personal Injury
These days it seems like every attorney believes he or she is capable of handling a personal injury case, even if they rarely do so and the focus of their practice is in other areas of the law. The fact is, significant experience in handling personal injury cases is critically important to obtaining a fair and reasonable settlement, or if that is impossible, a victory at trial.
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is a challenging and diverse area of the law since every case, client and situation is unique. Hoff Curtis is poised to assist our clients with all aspects of litigation: investigation, pleadings, discovery, pre-trial, trial, settlement and appeal.
Business & Property Law
Receiving the proper counsel on business and property law matters is of critical importance in today's complex world. The Hoff Curtis business and property law attorneys bring their expertise to each case, whether it be mergers and acquisitions, zoning and permitting or Act 250 issues.
Estate Planning & Probate
Estate planning is an important service that Hoff Curtis provides its clients as they begin arranging the distribution of their assets. Creating a will and clearly identifying your wishes is just one aspect of estate planning that Hoff Curtis can work with you to outline.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Individuals, businesses and other entities have increasingly turned to third-party neutrals for help in resolving disputes as a means to help control legal costs or simply to avoid lengthy litigation. Alternative Dispute Resolution techniques can lead to excellent results with substantial savings of transaction costs and increased privacy.
