R. Eric Hoffman

R. Eric Hoffman is an attorney in Vancouver, Washington, and the principal of West Coast QDRO, focusing on retirement division orders. Before concentrating on this work, he spent about ten years practicing primarily family law, according to his Clark County Bar Association profile. That profile identifies defined contribution and defined benefit plans among the subjects of his retirement-order practice.

At West Coast QDRO, the firm's drafting work covers retirement account divisions arising from divorce, legal separation, and child support matters. Its services include qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs), Court Orders Acceptable for Processing, and military retired pay division orders. Hoffman offers QDRO services to law offices nationwide and to individuals in Washington. His own practice listing also names FERS and CSRS, Thrift Savings Plans, and 401, 403, and 457 plans.

Law and business degrees appear together in Hoffman's educational background: he completed both his J.D. at the University of Idaho College of Law and his M.B.A. at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2003. He also holds an M.S. from the College for Financial Planning and a B.S. from the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Outside his legal work, his background includes service as an unlimited-tonnage deck officer in the merchant marine.

Washington admitted Hoffman in 2004; California followed in 2005. The California State Bar identifies him as Robert Eric Hoffman and currently lists his license as active.
