I had an issue with my child's school and I was contacting attorney after attorney to find someone who would help me. Every firm I called said that they weren't able to handle education issues, and were weeks or even months booked out for consultations. Because my issue was time sensitive, I needed a consultation as soon as possible. I finally found my way to Pat Hoover and I just can't say enough good things about Mr. Hoover and the experience I had. I am so very grateful for his expertise, advice, and guidance. He answered his phone after hours, he was able to schedule my consultation within 48 hours, and our consultation session even ran way over the time due to the convoluted nature of my issue (which involved COVID 19 and multiple parties). Even though I'm sure my issue was "small potatoes" compared to most cases, he treated me professionally and I was made to feel that my issue was important to him. He brainstormed ideas on how to move forward with resolving my issue as quickly and easily as possible. He gave me me several options and ultimately, my issue was resolved quickly and easily. Nobody anticipates these types of issues but I would not hesitate to refer Patrick Hoover or use him again in the future. I found his costs to be fair and reasonable. You get what you pay for - expert advice, relationships with all the right folks in the industry, and years of proven success. Thank you, Pat!

I strongly recommend attorney Mr. Patrick Hoover to anyone who needs sound legal advice on school issues. I guarantee you will look no further once you have used his uniquely client-focused service as well. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Mr. Patrick Hoover was careful and considered advice he provided based on experienced case analysis. He was quite straightforward and always kept me clearly informed of each step in the process with a meticulous evaluation of the options and risks. He is a wonderful attorney, who really goes above and beyond for his client, and did an outstanding job. Thank you, Mr. Hoover!

Attorney Hoover took care of an issue for me 3 years ago and I could not believe he was able to resolve it within hours after I had tried resolving same issue on my own for 2 months! What an expert! Thank you!

It was wonderful to have Mr. Hoover help me with my situation. He truly understood where I was coming from and cares about my circumstances. He even encouraged me to keep going. His counsel helped a great deal in putting me in the best position to remedy my situation.

We met Mr Hoover about 6 months ago on behalf of my grandson. This was our first encounter with the juvenille system so we were very nervous. He as genuine in his interest and addressed all our concerns. My grandson felt comfortable with him right away. Through this process, he has proven to be knowledgeable. He explained every step of the process and things happened exactly like he said they would. He was very dedicated and committed and his tanacity in the court room was extraordinary. What I know for sure is that Patick Hoover will FIGHT for you. I will HIGHLY recommend him.

We were convinced by our primary attorney to speak with Mr Hoover because he was touted as the expert in education law. Boy was that a mistake. Without approval, He went haywire with the amount of time he spent as if he had an unlimited budget. We never gave him the authority to spend as much time as he did. Nor did we have an engagement letter that formally hired him. When we questioned his invoice and the amount of time he spent, he threatens to sue us if we don't pay. Further if we had received commensurate value we wouldn't have had a problem paying his bill. Beware of using this attorney unless you have a very clear idea "in writing" as to the amounts he will charge you. Dissatisfied client.

I hired Mr. Hoover to represent my son in a juvenile case and was extremely satisfied with his services. Mr. Hoover explained the judicial process and what we should expect. Everything Mr. Hoover said he would accomplish was done and my son does not have a juvenile record. I observed Mr. Hoover's professionalism in court and his gentleness with discussing the case with my son. I definitely recommend Mr. Hoover and would hire him again.

Patrick was very skillful helping my son through his legal difficulties. His advice, negotiation, and relationships were instrumental to my son. Now my son is entering Medical School thanks to Pat.

I got into some legal trouble and needed to find a good lawyer fast. After meeting with 4 different lawyers I met Mr. Hoover and was immediately impressed. He laid out everything that was going to happen in simple terms and seemed trustworthy. After hiring him he immediately began to work on my case and send me regular updates. Prior to going to court he emailed employees for the state department and got me into a probation before judgment program (PBJ.) As a result of this the judge expunged everything from my record very quickly and easily. I would recommend Mr. Hoover to my friends and family in a heart beat.

I hired Patrick Hoover to help my son who got in trouble with his school for having marijuana on school property. I went in for a consultation before my son's expulsion meeting and hired Mr. Hoover. He went through the whole process with me before hand and assured me that it should go rather smoothly since my son did not have that much pot on him. He was right. Mr. Hoover knew everyone at the meeting and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He spoke up for my son and stood up for his right to a free and appropriate public education. He got my son back in school within the next day with a mere slap on the wrist and no suspension. He also went to the intake conference with us at the Department of Juvenile Services and got the intake officer to keep it from going to court. Overall, Mr. Hoover was an excellent attorney. He knew exactly what to say and I felt completely at ease knowing he was defending my son. He got my son back in school and kept him from having to go through the juvenile court system. I couldn't ask for a better attorney.
