Unprofessional and Unresponsive. I hired mark to handle a divorce case for me. In the beginning he was responsive and helpful. After I paid him in full he stopped responding and failed to show up to a hearing. He would not respond to inquiries for months. My divorce is ready to be settled but he failed to respond for almost 5 months. I didn't even know if he was still working for me. Mark essentially took my money and failed to help me finish my divorce. I'm now out the money I gave him and handling my divorce on my own. I do not recommend this attorney.

He's really understanding and helpful. He went above and beyond to help me with my case and knew exactly what to do to fix the problem. It also probably helps a lot that he knows the people at court well and has a professional friendly relationship with them. Thanks Mark! Its been over 3 years but its never too late for a compliment!

I retained Mark Hover in September of 2015 for a misdemeanor, driving with a suspended license (VC 14601.1), charge. At the time I retained Mark, I was without a license. For background I believe its worth mentioning that I work in healthcare, and at the time I retained Mark I was in the midst of starting a new position that would have been out of my reach if I was convicted of the misdemeanor that I was cited for. Healthcare and hospital background checks are notoriously thorough and critical. As my case developed it became clear that there are other hurdles to overcome, two other courts [in two different counties] to visit, and many miles to travel to do the legwork necessary [both in and out of court] to clear those hurdles. Because I did not have a license and I work full time, I was unable to do the physical legwork myself. Mark reassured me from the moment that I first spoke to him that he would do whatever is necessary to overcome those hurdles. Mark took care of all of my out of town court matters. He also resolved all of the loose ends tied other other cases and citations. Mark also made all of my local court appearances with me. He went out of his way to make sure I got back to work in a timely manner, and he drove to work after each court appearance as well. Mark was patient, compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable every step of the way. I felt at ease walking into the courtroom with him, and knowing that he was handling my legal matters. I work with top tier clinicians every day, and I cannot compliment, recommend, or praise a professional if they do not deserve it. That being said, I highly recommend Mark. He is a fantastic attorney and a wonderful person. As of yesterday, (thanks to Mark!) I have my license back and I am working at the hospital that I applied to when I hired Mark. Mark 100% followed through and exceeded my expectations. His competence and drive to serve his clients really really shines through. Perhaps also as important is that fact that his fee/rate for this matter was excellent. There were no surprises, he gave me a quote and stuck by it. His quote for my case was below the other attorneys’ I consulted with before retaining him. Mark also accepted my payment arrangement, which allowed me to keep up with my bills and not suffer undo financial burden. If you are in some legal trouble and you need help, then call Mark! I believe you will be in excellent hands. Should I need similar counsel again in the future, Mark will be the first person I call.

In trying to find legal representation, I ran into attorney's who did not even bother to listen to what I initially had to say, but Mark was great! He listened and responded with knowledable answers. Mark represented me in court and did an excellent job. I was impressed with his court room experience and manners. Mark really cares about the work he is doing and it reflected in how he handled my case. A great attorney overall!
