Funeral Details

Alan David Hoffenberg, Age 83.

Loving father of Stacey (Tim) Murphy and Michael (Laura) Hoffenberg. Proud Papa of Kennedy, Keira, and Nora. Cherished brother of Bruce (Denise) Hoffenberg and the late Honorable Judge Earl Hoffenberg (Helen Hoffenberg). “Tremendous” uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

A pioneer in the field of family law, Alan was widely respected not only for his legal acumen, but also for his deep empathy and advocacy for families navigating life’s most difficult transitions. Over a decades-long career, he mentored countless attorneys, served as the President of the American Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys, and helped shape the landscape of matrimonial law across the country.

Outside the courtroom, Alan found joy in life’s simple pleasures—casting a line on a quiet lake, spending time on the golf course, or gathering with friends for a good game of poker. A true food lover, there wasn’t a cuisine that deemed unsatisfactory. But above all, he cherished time with friends and family. His greatest happiness came from the laughter, love, and connection shared with those closest to him. A man who had a true hunger for life, food, fishing, and family.
