Pros
1
Highly experienced and skilled family law attorneys who are knowledgeable about California laws and procedures
“I had a totally unreasonable 'ex' who was fighting for sole custody and an opposing council that likes to argue everything so we had no choice but to litigate. And if you're going into the trenches you absolutely want Bob their with you! He's been doing this a very long time and is a master in the courtroom.”
2
Compassionate and supportive team that cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to help them through difficult times
“They took personal account of my case and I felt very much a part of the family. I would absolutely recommend them in the future!”
3
Ability to settle cases out of court and avoid lengthy, costly litigation when possible
“I like the fact that they pride themselves on settling cases before court and that's exactly what happened in my case. I never went to court for my divorce and because of the support they gave me I never had to.”
4
Responsive and attentive to client needs, with good communication and follow-through
“From the beginning stages of my divorce to the end I had GREAT success, made tons of progress and now have almost equally shared custody of my son! I owe that to Bob and Phong.”
Cons
1
Concerns about billing practices and potential overcharging for services
“I later learned that the majority of the expert advice that Robert Hoover deemed necessary for custody and financial settlement were indeed useless. Through the involvement of experts Robert Hoover's firm organized many unnecessary meetings where Robert, the expert and Robert's assistant ( a young attorney) attended, and I walked away paying almost $ 5000 for these meetings without much progress in advancing my case.”
2
Possibility of cases being prolonged unnecessarily to generate more billable hours
“I suspect that had I not fired Robert Hoover my case would still be ongoing with no hope of resolution in sight.”
3
Concerns about lack of senior partner involvement and cases being primarily handled by junior associates
“Most of the work in my case was done by a young assistant with very little legal experience.”
