The personal injury process can be as overwhelming as the crash itself. Insurance companies work the system every day; to them, the life-changing consequences of a serious injury can be toned down to just another payout. Adjusters delay, request unrelated records, and deny claims to wear people down. Injured people deserve more than a quick payoff for the physical, emotional, and financial toll an incident takes on their lives. An attorney who understands both the practical value of a claim and the real pain behind it is where James Hoffman comes in.
James A. Hoffman is an associate attorney whose practice focuses on complex personal injury litigation, including crashes involving automobiles, commercial trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles. He also represents clients injured by negligence, including dog bites and slip-and-fall incidents, and families in wrongful death cases. Before joining Moseley & Martinez, James practiced at one of the leading personal injury firms in Northwest Indiana. He has represented hundreds of injured clients and is dedicated to every one of them with a modern, easy-going, client-first style. With James, you will never feel like another file on the shelf.
Originally from a small, rural town in Central Illinois, James earned his Bachelor’s degree in Law Enforcement and Justice Administration, with an emphasis in pre-law and a minor in Law and Society, from Western Illinois University. He then attended Valparaiso University School of Law, graduated in 2017, and immediately began concentrating on personal injury law.
Before college, at age 18, James enlisted in the U.S. Army with the Second Battalion, 123rd Field Artillery Regiment as a Tactical Data Systems Specialist, responsible for fire-plan scheduling, mission processing, secure communications, and training the soldiers under him. In 2010 James, a decorated veteran, deployed to the Sinai Peninsula as part of the multinational mission supervising the security provisions of the Egyptian-Israeli Treaty of Peace; his unit also served as a reaction force in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Outside the office James is a sports enthusiast who is as competitive at the gym and on the golf course as he is in the courtroom, and quality time with family and friends is a high priority.
