About the Firm

John Hosford grew up in Huntington Beach, California.  After splitting the early part of college in both Southern and Northern California, John finished his undergraduate work at Cal Poly Pomona. His studies included a year focusing on finance and accounting.

A short stint in the corporate world led him far and away to serve with the US Coast Guard in Alaska on the then-oldest commissioned vessel in the US Military – the icebreaker USS Storis.  John finished his career near San Francisco and relocated to the Morro Bay area in 2002.  John spent the next 4 years working for Union Pacific Railroad.

John leveraged the GI Bill to pay for law school. John attended school at the San Luis Obispo College of Law while working full time to support his family. He finished law school and worked with a few local law firms before opening the Law Office of John Hosford in April of 2024. Since being admitted to the California State Bar, John has handled every aspect of family law, including high asset divorces.

The wide diversity of John’s life experiences has helped shape his multi-faceted approach to family law.  Certified as a family law specialist by the California Bar Association, John brings a pragmatic and direct approach to an emotional and difficult area of law.
