Customer Reviews for Philip J. Dinhofer, Attorney at Law
-
Hired Law firm 2015-2020If I could give zero stars I would. Have known him for 40 years as he's my brother in law. To be fair I will only discuss the two legal matters he was handling for me over the past five years. One was a property damage claim which he did not do anything but a summons and complaint. Four years later I get angry that hes done nothing on my case so he makes a motion to be relieved as counsel and files an order of protection against me. I settled the case on my own restoring it on the calander and handling the matter pro se. Order of protection expired with no incidents. Secondly, years ago he was appointed to be a trustee for my benefit on my parents estate. In March of this year both my parents and I asked him to renounce himself as my trustee due to our poor relationship and obvious conflict of interest. (How could he have my best interests at heart for the trust when he would take any opportunity to have me arrested?) Its now August (4 months later) and I've sent him gentle reminders but no response. I now have to retain an attorney to undue whatever he has done and remove him as trustee. If he treats his family like this, imagine how he'll treat you? Caveat Emptor folks!!!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
