I retained Mr. Hoover at a very stressful time in my life. I was charged with shoplifting when I inadvertently failed to scan some of my items at a self check out line. Mr. Hoover listened intently to my story when I met with him and took many notes. He keenly listened to me as he asked many questions and calmed my fears. I was so frightened and his reassurance that he would do the very best he could for me eased my worries. He told me to go home and do something for myself, as caring for others had gotten me into my agitated stressed out persona to begin with. He assured me that worrying about this situation wouldn’t change the outcome so to put my worries aside and let him get to work on it. When my court date came, we were hoping for a pretrial diversion, where I would remain on probation for a year and then have my record expunged. Never did I expect that he would be able to get my charge completely retired and I didn’t even have to appear before the Judge to plead! No charges on record! I was fighting back tears of joy! Mr. Hoover’s attention and empathy to me as a client was what made this happen. I highly recommend Mr Hoover as an advocate on your side in a criminal case. I can now put this behind me and move forward, and I owe it all to him.

I contacted Mr. Hoover when I was faced with domestic assault charges. He was referred to me by a friend of mine who also had an amazing experience. Never in a million years would I have thought something like this would happen to me. When I met with Mr. Hoover the first time and explained what had happened, he was not only confident but prepared me for what was to come. He guided me throughout every step and the end result was my case being DISMISSED. He proceeded to file a motion for it to be expunged. I cannot thank him and his wonderful team enough for being so kind and answering all of my questions and mostly making me feel more at ease the entire process.

Had a very good experience with Mr.Hoover and paralegal Miss Blackwell, very accurate and timely communications from the very beginning all the way until the end of the general sessions hearing via phone email and regular mail. Very pleased with Mr.Hoover as he was able to reduce my DUI first offence in Williamson County TN to Reckless Endangerment. I am not a resident of the state of TN but a resident in the State of FL so this was a very satisfactory outcome for me. Mr.Hoover was also successfully able to reschedule my initial hearing twice when I had personal problems traveling to the state of TN on the originally scheduled dates. I will with full confidence recommend Mr.Hoovers law firm to anyone looking for assistance with legal matters in TN and or Williamson Country. Mr.Hoovers brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table specially being that he was previously general sessions court judge and the the fact that his practice has been around for many years.

Mr. Hoover went above and beyond for me and my case! I was charged with a DUI, and I unfortunately had an incredibly high BAC. We were facing an uphill battle, and I would have had a much harsher penalty had Mr. Hoover not been on my side. He made sure I understood all of the options we could take, and with his expertise and advice, we received a STUNNING victory with the DA. He was always available to answer my questions, he made me feel like I wasn't alone, and he offered a payment plan to retain his services. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!! I am so grateful for him and his expert advise! Lisa, his Paralegal, was such a pleasure to work with as well! She knows her stuff inside and out, and she was even there for me when I called her crying. They are such an incredible duo!!

Lonnie helped me with a first offense DUI case that was incredibly challenging for me and my family. He explained things carefully and took the time to answer every question we had, as we had them. I didn’t feel alone or uncertain in a process that I had previously little to no experience in, which meant I could prepare affectively and proactively for my court hearing. His previous experience as a judge lent a deeper understanding to the way we should proceed with my case, and he was ultimately able to achieve our best case scenario in court, which I and my family will forever be grateful for. I highly recommend Lonnie Hoover as a criminal defense attorney.

I have been charged with DUI First Offense, Move Over Law and Failure of Financial Responsibility. In the process of hiring an attorney I first contacted Lonnie Ray Hoover and had a brief conversation for an hour. Based on that conversation I decided to hire him and never consulted another attorney trying to decide between attorneys. The key reasons for me to make that decision are he is crystal clear on explaining the next steps and also he is on vacation but took his time on the call and never in rush to explain or complete the call. Once he is back , I visited him in person at his office he once again reviewed and explained everything that will happen from that point forward. Over all the time in the conversations we had, he never gave me false hope and at the same time never denied the positive outcome. He kept me to the reality of the situation. I cannot just put it in one word of few sentences of what he is capable of, On the court day his experience spoke volumes. I was so relieved with the positive outcome. It’s like a huge burden taken off me. Reduced to Reckless driving and all other charges dismissed. I took a right decision hiring Lonnie Ray Hoover and never looked back. Thank You!

Mr. Hoover was outstanding in representing my son. Kind, compassionate, non-judge mental, and clearly an astute expert in law. He was very thorough in explaining to us our options and potential outcomes and gathering all of the documentation to help win our case. The charges against my son were completely dismissed and expunged. Thank you Mr. Hoover!

When our family faced turmoil after a relapse earlier this year, we were all feeling cautious and afraid, but knew that it had to be possible to have some of the charges reduced and/or dismissed. Looking at four Class: A Misdemeanors, one Class: C Misdemeanor and a Class: B Felony, as a range 2 offender, is terrifying! We knew we had to find the right attorney and find him (or her) quickly. Having grown up in Williamson County, I was familiar with a few of the names of local attorneys I found online, and began calling to inquire about Consultations. Mr. Hoover’s office was the easiest to get on the phone and had the first availability for a Consult that week. After meeting with Mr. Hoover and discussing our situation, honestly, I felt even more confused and anxious on how best to proceed in hiring an attorney. Mr. Hoover knew that I was in a rough place and needed some direction. He made many suggestions on how to most likely receive the best results in court, including rehabilitation options prior to that court date, considering the drug court program, and/or even working for the police, among other things. At first, this was startling to me and I did not think that Mr. Hoover understood me or my situation. However, i continued to talk to friends and family and Mr. Hoover became very highly recommended, with his local history as a judge for many years prior to his current practice. It was still with hesitation when we decided to hire and retain Mr. Hoover to represent my case but we knew he was the best choice if we wanted any chance of forgiveness and leniency- and he sure was, the very best choice! At our court date, my anxiety was through the roof. Just thinking about my daughters and family having to be without me because I messed up and had a temporary lapse of judgement was eating me up inside. When he spotted me in the court room, he began to make his way over to us. As he got closer, his smile continued to grow, until he was beaming in front of us. We held our breaths, knowing the news from his talk with the DA’s office had to be either really good or really bad.. Mr. Hoover delivered even better news than we had imagined! Due to his insight and knowledge on Williamson County laws and court system, he had provided the best recommendations, which not only allowed me to receive the help and treatment I desperately needed, but also helped keep our family together, strong and supportive. We are truly amazed and blessed by the work of Mr. Hoover and his ability to have my charges changed, to plead guilty to only two Class: A Misdemeanors. My family and I cannot be more proud of what Mr. Hoover was able to accomplish, and we definitely highly recommend him for anyone needing the best Criminal Defense Attorney in our area!
