Cornerpoint Law makes hiring a lawyer seamless and convenient. Clients provide Cornerpoint with relevant information on their own schedule via an online intake form. Attorney/client agreements are exchanged with electronic signatures, and payment is accepted by check, eCheck, debit card, and credit card. Cornerpoint is both a paperless office (meaning that documents are rarely printed and snail mail is typically not used) and a work-from-home office (click here to learn how Stacia makes that work, and work well at that). As a solo attorney, Stacia’s schedule is flexible, meaning that she is generally easy to reach. Finally, to be clear, Stacia believes lawyers are both invaluable and indispensable. But she also knows that there are more “fun” ways to spend money, so to stay within your budget, you’ll have the opportunity to check her fees in near real-time.

What Clients Say

What Our Clients Have to Say

Stacia is honest, and generous with her time and attention. I worked with her on two separate contractual issues I ran into. She helped me design a contract for my business, and counseled me on getting out of a contract which I was in. She was dedicated, responsive, and very knowledgeable and I had positive results in both instances. She was extremely thorough along the way and gave great advice. I highly recommend working with her.
 
Emily, Client
I value a professional who knows their stuff AND is easy to talk to and truly listens to my viewpoint and concerns. Sometimes you only get one or the other. Stacia provided both.

I needed help with what was probably a small project to her, but was important to me. She provided lots of attention and thoroughness to my case, and I came away knowing exactly what I was facing and able to make well-informed decisions.
 

Su-Lin, Client

I sought legal advice due to my recent relocation to Washington State. Stacia was highly recommended by several colleagues. She was able to give me guidance and advice regarding my situation during my initial consultation. I immediately hired her, and she was able to deal with the other party and successfully close on all legal topics. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs legal advice and a prompt resolution to their legal matters.

Jose, Client
I really enjoyed working with Stacia Hofmann even though it was one of the hardest periods of my life. Stacia was extremely knowledgeable dealing with my case, was easy to work with and was clear in her communication. The billing structure at Cornerpoint Law is straight forward and they offer multiple payment options. Stacia is the right person to have in your corner and I highly recommend her services to anyone.
