Cornerpoint Law

Stacia Hofmann, JD, ARM, practiced as a trial attorney for 10 years before founding Cornerpoint Law in November 2015. She worked as a commercial and insurance defense litigator at a law firm in Seattle, and, more recently, at Nationwide Insurance, where she defended hundreds of businesses and individuals insured by Nationwide in lawsuits filed against them. The allegations against her clients varied, but often involved claims of underdeveloped policies and procedures, unsatisfactory training of employees, and inadequate quality control. Through vigorous opposition, Stacia was able to secure dismissal, negotiate favorable settlements, and achieve excellent results at trial and arbitration for many of her clients.

Still, Stacia recognized the toll that litigation took on her clients: the interruption to business operations, an oftentimes significant increase in insurance premiums, the risk of an uncovered claim or excess verdict, and an inability to control key litigation decisions affecting the business. Stacia worked with her clients to review the events leading to suit; many could have benefited from risk control and pre-loss planning.

Firmly believing that preventing a loss from happening in the first place is far superior to the toils and troubles that accompany litigation, Stacia obtained an Associate in Risk Management certification from the American Institute For Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters in 2015 to complement her practical experience in evaluating risk and its legal effects. Cornerpoint Law followed shortly thereafter.

Stacia is particularly knowledgeable about the law governing insurance, the formation and enforceability of contracts, premises liability (“slip and falls”), product liability (including contaminated food), employer/employee relationships, worksite accidents, defective workmanship, defamation, criminal acts on business premises, the sale and service of alcohol, professional malpractice, and automobile accidents. She is licensed to practice law in all Washington courts, and state courts in Idaho.

Stacia obtained her law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in San Francisco in 2005 and her Bachelor of Arts in Communication, magna cum laude, from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles in 2002.
