Simply put, this lawyer does not have a spine. I was very sad and disappointing in the end. He did a horrible job representing me. It was a big mistake allowing his boss (Natalie Daprile) to let him work on my case. He has a very good writing skills, but he lacks the experience which almost cost me my custody. I came to him at a time when I was desperate, and he was a total predator.

I sincerely recommend Hoover Krepelka, and Ben House specifically without reservation. I’ve worked on multi-billion dollar merger transactions in my career where we spent millions of dollars on lawyers and if I closed my eyes I couldn’t tell the difference in terms of capability and professionalism. Beyond that, I really enjoyed working with Ben and Travis on a personal level. Let’s not pretend this is an enjoyable situation to be dealing with, but I always felt very supported. Here’s my story: I tried to manage this process myself, and made very little progress getting the opposing counsel to take me serious so I decided to hire some help. To identify the right fit I scraped a public site with every lawyer in the state in order to filter for a minimum level of experience and education levels. I had calls with over a dozen qualified lawyers to consider an engagement, and I also asked each of them one last question “who is the most capable trial lawyer that you really wouldn’t want to go against”. Hoover Krepelka came up 1/3rd of the time, so I knew I needed to talk to them. When they came on board the other side changed their posture – the credibility was evident immediately. My case was complicated (including millions of dollars at play and an ex-spouse who was threatening to move the kids to a different state). This team was able to listen, ask questions and make strategic assessments that were very on point. They were very responsive and hardworking even when juggling other cases concurrently. We formulated a dual process for litigation and negotiation, and having the credible firepower to litigate if needed was absolutely necessary to achieve a negotiated outcome. The story ended well and I think both sides were happy (enough) with the results and there is zero chance it would have ended up so well without this team. I cannot thank them enough.

Ben was a pleasure to work with throughout my case. He was responsive, insightful, and remarkably patient in the moments I felt anxious and overwhelmed. While my case was far more simple than most, Ben always made me feel like I was a priority. His professional, reasonable, and rational approach to the process, along with his ability to communicate well with the attorney representing the other party, facilitated the mutual agreement both parties needed in order to feel comfortable moving to resolution. Not only would I recommend Ben, but I'd wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the event I needed legal counsel.
