Robert S. Hoofman
Well known and admired for his good humored professionalism, Robert’s gracious well-mannered reserve serves as a commendable example for others who still practice. When asked, Robert quietly notes “Our courts now mandate civility, so why not be a gracious, professional?”.
Robert remains an active licensed attorney in Florida and in Texas who still loves the fact that he is a lawyer. A proud graduate with honors from University of Florida Law School (Go Gators!), licensed by the Florida Bar in 1979 and by the State Bar of Texas in 2005, these days, Robert devotes his time to what he has done consistently since high school, participating in many worthwhile professional associations, charitable and civic organizations. As a generous donor to many, Robert insists that his gifts be characterized as: “anonymous” .
