Disgraced Blogger and National Guardsman, John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside Surfaces in Coalgate, Oklahoma

Coalgate, Oklahoma

It has been a while since I posted anything to this Blog. Mainly because, John Hoff has gone into a non-attack mode after the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners denied him admission to the Oklahoma Bar, even after he had passed the Bar exam. The details of the results of the 2-day Bar Examiners hearing can be found on this Blog.

It has been more than seven years since Hoff was exposed by the Oklahoma Bar Examiners and his Blog, The Adventures of Johnny Northside, has not had any updates since 2015. 
During the last seven years, life has gone on and back to normal. I was contacted by John's younger brother, Judd back in 2013 and since then, Judd and I have become pretty good friends.
In early 2020, Judd Hoff invited me to visit him at his home near Alexandria, MN. The exact same property that John Hoff spent many years at while growing up. In June, 2020 I took Judd up on his offer and I spent three days at the Hoff Family home. Judd was very friendly and it ended up being a fun time for me. I was able to get lots of pictures when I flew my drone around the property.

I also was able to meet three of Judd's kids as well. Judd's kids all knew of me from this Blog and my relentless blogging about their Uncle, John. They were nice kids... young adults really. I am glad that I was able to meet them and they were happy to relay their opinions about their Uncle John.

The stories Judd has shared with me about his childhood and growing up with John have been absolutely priceless. Even though Judd has given me permission to publish those stories, I have decided to keep them private. However, if John were to decide to go back to his old ways of attacking people online, then I would begin to publish the antics of a young John Hoff.

Hoff said several years ago on his Blog that "NoMi" aka North Minneapolis, was his home and would be for years to come. As with most of the crap that comes from Hoff, that statement didn't take long to change. The most recent post on this Blog was in June, 2018 and I reported that Hoff had sold his house in North Minneapolis. I speculated on where he would land and call "Home". My guess had been that Hoff would move back to El Paso, Texas. That is where he was based when he was in the Army. It is also where Hoff was when his ex-wife separated and moved to Seattle. Hoff followed soon after but, that is another story.

While this is mere speculation and hear-say, it is believed that Hoff had an affair with a woman in El Paso and fathered a child with her. It is believed that the affair was discovered by his now ex-wife and that is what prompted her to relocate to Seattle, leaving John behind.
It turns out that I was wrong about John moving to El Paso. While he might have visited El Paso, he didn't move there.

John Hoff had joined the National Guard in 2010 and transferred to the Oklahoma unit soon after so he would be deployed to Afghanistan. The reason for such a dramatic effort to re-enlist and be called up to active duty was financial. At the time, Hoff was seriously delinquent with his child support responsibilities and was facing jail if he did not pay his past due payments.
When Hoff returned from Afghanistan, he spent most of his time in Oklahoma and it has been confirmed that he has remained a reserve with the National Guard.

In 2017, Hoff registered to vote and is listed as a Democrat. That information can be found by clicking on.... John Hoff Current Public Info and here, John Hoff Oklahoma Voter.

The two addresses are for his business address, which is where his National Guard base is located a few blocks away. Midwest City is pretty much a southern suburb of Oklahoma City.
The second address is located in Coalgate, Oklahoma. From what I can tell from looking at a map, Coalgate is a small town, about 110 miles southeast from Oklahoma City.
I might mention an interesting tidbit... The address in Coalgate happens to be the listed address for Palmer Law. After reviewing the website www.callpalmer.com, there is no mention of John Hoff. If Hoff is employed by the firm, it is in an unofficial capacity.
 
I admit that I won't be putting much time into finding our what Hoff does with his time in Oklahoma but, if anyone reading this happens to know any additional information.... Please contact me via the Comments and I will get back in touch with you.

Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners Finds "Tremendous" Student Loan Debt Owed By John Hoff

In 2004, John Hoff (semi-formally known as Johnny Northside) moved from Seattle, where he began his petty career of attacking and exploiting people, and settled in Grand Forks, ND.
He attended law school at the University of North Dakota and just a few years later, Hoff had a degree in Law. Imagine.... John Hoff, being a lawyer. That is a scary thought!

Thankfully, Hoff moved to Minneapolis after graduating while hauling very little in the move. A few of the things he brought with him included an entire State (North Dakota) being pissed off at him for his antics and a pile of student loan debt. Student loans are not a concern to most graduating law students as they are about to join the ranks as a lawyer.

Hoff was about to become dangerous. After he left Seattle, he was interviewed by the SeattleWeekly and offered a peek at what he planned to do after law school.

"After law school, Hoff says, he's going to start a law firm—specializing in record law, lesbian issues, and international space law—and open offices in Grand Forks, Hollywood, and . . . Seattle. Then, he adds confidently, he will get a state legislative seat, then make the jump to the US Senate as the first Green libertarian."

Fast forward more than a decade and we find that John Hoff fell just a bit short with making good on his claims. Actually, Hoff fell flat on his face because, he failed to deliver any of those claims. 

In 2013-'14, Hoff applied for, took and PASSED the Oklahoma Bar Exam. Thankfully,  the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners took a close look at Hoff's past during a 2-day Rule 11 hearing before the board in Oklahoma City in August 2014. It took a few months for the board to make sure their ruling would hold but, in October, 2014 the board denied Hoff a law license and after a failed bid to appeal the ruling, Hoff found himself holding his ass in his hands after the Oklahoma Bar Examiners handed it to him. 

Here is what the Oklahoma Board concluded regarding Hoff's student loan debt:

Fast forward one year and we have been blessed in a way because, John Hoff has slowed his blogging activities to a crawl. He has said that the blog is retired but, people know that the temptation to use his beloved blog to self-promote and/or bash someone will simply be too tempting for him to lay off completely.

Coming soon.....
I was one of seven witnesses to testify for the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners at the Rule 11 hearing for John Hoff, held in August, 2014.
I was the only witness of the seven who appeared in person and the next post on this blog will be a review of my testimony as well as opinions and observations I made at the hearing.
It will be good stuff!

Who Has Roommates Without Knowing Who They Are? John Hoff, That's Who

Copy - cover page of sworn statement of John Hoff - April 30, 2014 (click to view larger)

This Blog has reported and contended for years that John Hoff's house located at 2226 Bryant Ave. N, has been used as a non-licensed rental property in the City of Minneapolis versus being Hoff's Homestead and housing "Roommates."

On April 30, 2014, John Hoff was asked to appear in Oklahoma City to submit a sworn statement (Deposition) to the attorney representing the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners. Hoff submitted an application in August, 2013 to take the Bar Examination for the purpose of becoming a licensed attorney in the State of Oklahoma. Information that questioned Hoff's ethics and character fitness was submitted to the board by several people, including the author of this Blog, Jim Watkins.

The Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners sent that information to their attorney who reviewed the documents and Hoff's application was investigated. The deposition consists of 225 pages of sworn testimony from John Hoff. The information contained in this post is found on pages 103-106 and the testimony specific to Hoff's tenant-roommate situation was copied and included in this post.
For reference... The numbers below represent the line number for dialogue on every page of the statement. The "Q:" is dialogue for the attorney presenting the questions and the "A:" represents Hoff's answers.

Adventures of Johnny Northside Blog Set To Retire June 15, 2015 But, Misadventures Blog Will Continue With John Hoff Information

Please note that the link to Hoff's Notice of Appeal against the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners is posted at the end of this article.

John Hoff has announced he will be stepping aside from his beloved blog in June 2015 but, as Hoff history has shown, it does not mean Hoff will discontinue his bullying ways. It merely means, he will refocus his personal attacks on people he does not like and find another way of doing it.

Hoff has been totally exposed now that the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners denied his application to join the Oklahoma Bar, even though Hoff completed and passed the bar exam.
Their decision was reached after holding a Rule 11 hearing that covered Hoff's character, moral fitness and respect for the law. I was a witness for the OBBE's and testifying against John was a gratifying experience. All of Hoff's misdeeds against others finally came back to haunt him.

Hoff's long history of bullying goes back long before he began blogging in 2008 and I expect him to continue his ways even more now that he has been disgraced from his quest of becoming a lawyer.
After his blog is put to rest, Hoff will be almost 50 years old and essentially starting over from scratch (his student loan debt will likely follow him to his grave), only his public image and credibility will make things more difficult for him. Not to mention, most of his family are at odds with him and likely won't offer him much support. According to his brother, Judd, John lied to him and his mother about his Oklahoma law license status as they had not been aware of a hearing being held.

Word is going around that John will be or already has been reported to the IRS for not claiming income earned in 2013 as well as the Minnesota Unemployment Commission for claiming benefits while not reporting income he earned in Oklahoma at that time. Both of those misdeeds were proven to be fact at the Rule 11 hearing before the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners.

It is the opinion of this blog author that once John is officially done with his Johnny Northside blog, he will be even more dangerous and pose a bigger threat to intensify his bullying because, he might feel he has nothing more to lose after he lost his credibility and dignity (he didn't really have much of those before).

This blog might explore a few changes to the layout or maybe alter the title but, the commitment to stand up to Hoff and his cyber attacks for people scorned by him in the past as well as hoping to prevent future attacks... Will remain a priority.

To close, I offer you the opportunity to read the 8-page notice of Appeal Hoff filed in November against the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners after his application to become a member of the Oklahoma Bar Association was denied. It really is entertaining to read some of his insane reasoning for the basis of his appeal.
Note: The court document was obtained from the Oklahoma Supreme Court records.

John Hoff Oklahoma Law License Update

Parody of God questioning John Hoff

I have to apologize to readers of this blog for not adding any content or updates until today. Actually, I don't have much to add but, that doesn't mean that there is nothing going on regarding John Hoff.
People and commenters have been asking what the current status is with Hoff and his application to become a licensed attorney in the State of Oklahoma.

Here is what I am able to say at this time...
Hoff's name was listed on the list of people who had taken the Bar Exam in February and passed. Those people attended a function where they were sworn in and given a license to practice law in Oklahoma. However, John Hoff was NOT among those who were sworn in because, the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners continues to investigate Hoff's character and fitness and respect for the law. Until the board gives their approval to the Oklahoma Bar Association, Hoff will not be given his license regardless of the fact that he has passed the Bar Exam. The status of the investigation has not been made public and I can't offer more information at this time.

I will post updates as information becomes available and is considered public information.

This is only my opinion but, my feeling is that John Hoff will end up being denied for a license to practice law. I think that with the number of unethical acts Hoff has committed in his recent past, it will be enough to finally catch up to him and pull him back off of his self-serving perch he has placed himself upon.

Blogger John Hoff Completed Oklahoma Bar Exam But, Status Under Review, Regardless of Test Results

Cartoon parody of John Hoff as a lawyer with his own rules

The Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners held the Bar Exam on February 25-26, 2014.
John Willard Hoff was one of the names published as an out of state applicant prior to the test dates.
I received an email response from the Director of the Board of Bar Examiners on March 5, 2014 that stated John Hoff attended and completed the exam that was held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I had sent a package to the board containing information that suggested John Hoff does not have the moral character to become a licensed attorney in Oklahoma. I have been told that I was not the only person that sent them information however, up until the confirmation was received, it was not known if Hoff attended or if he was allowed to take the test.
The results to the exams will not be known or made public for several months.

The board director informed me of the following...

"An applicant is allowed to take a bar exam in Oklahoma even if the character and fitness portion of their application has not yet been approved.  However, should they pass the exam, the applicant is not eligible for admission until the Board has approved their application."

The amount of Hoff material that I submitted was substantial and no date was selected for when the board will complete their investigation and decide if Hoff's application will be approved or denied.
This blog will keep the status updated as information is received.

I do not envy the position the Bar Examiners are in with deciding to approve or deny his application because, I think they could regret it if they let Hoff become a lawyer as his history suggests it will be a matter of time before complaints begin to pile against him.
At the same time though, if they deny the application, they should expect to be made into a spectacle circus because of Hoff's history of appealing and fighting every ruling that went against him.

My hope is that Hoff will be denied a license because, John as a lawyer would mean no one is safe from his attacks. A crazed Hoff with access to court records that are not available to non-lawyers is frankly a very disturbing situation that I hope will never happen.

Blogger Hoff Pursuing License to Practice Law in Oklahoma, Must Pass Moral & Character Fitness Check

Photo of Hoff obtained from FaceBook page in public domain.

This blog entry is very unique because of the information it contains. Rather than the usual build up about John Hoff’s history before getting to the point of the post, I want to get right to the meat of the story and make the following announcement.

It has been confirmed that John Willard Hoff AKA Johnny Northside of the Adventures of Johnny Northside.com blog, has submitted an application recently with the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners to take the Bar exam to become a licensed attorney in the State of Oklahoma.

Up until this past week it had only been speculation that Hoff had been working in Oklahoma but, unclear in what capacity or for what purpose. I personally can’t claim to be 100% certain of how long he has been working there or who exactly he has been working there. A few sources have given me more specific information but, I decided to focus my attention on getting proof that John Hoff is trying to become a licensed attorney and I am now the first to report the news which was verified by the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners. Now on with the story…
