Dustin Hoff is a highly successful trial attorney who joined Christensen Law in 2015. With over a decade of experience in personal injury litigation, Dustin is recognized for attaining high-value settlements and verdicts in complex PI and wrongful death suits. As one of our top litigators, his excellence in the courtroom has earned numerous accolades, including membership in the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only organization comprised of the nation’s most experienced trial lawyers who demonstrate high personal character and professional reputation. He is actively involved in professional organizations including the Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ), the American Association for Justice (AAJ), the Washtenaw County Bar Association’s Trial Lawyers Practice section, and the Michigan Bar Association. Further showcasing his dedication to the legal field and giving back to the industry, Dustin is a regular presenter of workshops and educational tracks at nationwide training events.

Known for his tenacity and skill in the courtroom resulting in multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, Dustin has been praised by colleagues and clients alike. Dustin has been praised by colleagues and clients alike. “Dustin’s strategic mindset and command of the courtroom consistently lead to outstanding results. He is not only an accomplished litigator but also a proven rainmaker who brings significant value to the firm,” says firm founder Dave Christensen. In addition to his trial work, Dustin has demonstrated the ability to manage a substantial caseload while consistently delivering top-tier outcomes and developing key relationships, making him a key asset to the firm and a trusted advocate for his clients.

His style as a lawyer is accessible. “I like to stay in touch with people – whether that is with clients, medical providers, members of the legal community, and especially, back home in the Thumb. “I’m not the guy who’s going to inundate you with legalese; I’m more folksy and ready to chat, to check in with what’s going on.”

Dustin has a keen sense of civic duty, and a deeply empathetic nature borne of familial experience with long-term ill-health. In dealing with clients, he draws on his own childhood experiences. A product of the thumb region of rural Michigan, Hoff’s childhood was a lesson in understanding what his clients go through. “I am one of five children. My mother has muscular dystrophy, and my father was a disabled Vietnam Veteran. I saw their struggles each day. Whether it is was major obstacles like walking or the simple routines of daily living – putting on socks, cleaning dishes, making dinner – I saw how it impacted the things we take for granted. These are the same challenges victims of auto accidents and negligence also experience. My parents’ struggles provided me with firsthand knowledge and understanding of the suffering our customers experience.”

A resident of Plymouth, Michigan, Dustin spends his time with family and enjoys traveling, concerts, and the occasional golf game. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Saint Christine Christian Services, a not-for-profit organization largely focused on providing for the food insecure in the Detroit community.

“I love giving a voice to and protecting the rights of injured victims. Most people have no experience with the legal system, especially after an accident. It’s important we don’t let them fall through the cracks along with their rights.”
