Hope C. Lefeber

There is Hope, literally! I was facing 240 years and with Hope’s representation, I received just one year of home confinement. She is an extraordinary criminal defense attorney. She listens intently to everything you have to say and is eager to learn everything about the case, leaving no stones untur...ned. She took the time to read through my eighteen page indictment while on vacation before I had even hired her. Other attorneys that I had interviewed wouldn’t even take the time to read the indictment without having a retainer in hand first. Hope is extremely compassionate, warm, caring and intelligent and has an unbeatable work ethic. She is always attentive and available. She represented me for over a four year period and each and every time that I contacted her either by email or phone call, she responded to me immediately even if she was out of town. As many times that I contacted her, she contacted me more. Not only was she my defense attorney, but she became my friend and even my therapist at times. She was there for me when I cried and never ever rushed to get off the phone with me, but rather listened and offered comforting words to me. She truly cares. I was one of the rare defendants in a federal case that went to trial up against the government. When Hope enters the court room, she makes a strong impact. Her delivery is captivating. Despite being found guilty by a jury, Hope was able to prove during the lengthy trial the inconsistencies of the Governments allegations against me. The prosecutor in my case wrongly portrayed me as a criminal on paper, but Hope was able to portray me to the judge as the truly good woman and mother that I am. She fought a long battle for my life which ended favorably, rather than tragically. I am writing this review from the comfort of my home, surrounded by my children and my pets. Hope will be a lifelong friend of mine.

Attorney Hope Lefeber defended my husband in a federal trial (white collar) that lasted 6 days. The US attorney pulled out all the stops and the judge seemed biased against my husband, as if everyone coming before him was guilty. Hope Lefeber was extremely thorough, thoughtful and strategic, leavin...g nothing to chance. What impressed my husband and myself most is how much she really cared that the US Attorney's office had not treated my husband fairly...and she did something about it. She won! Instead of my husband getting a sentence of up to 6 years and seeing the inside of a prison, a few weeks after the trial, we traveled to Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower. We owe Attorney Lefeber a lifetime of gratitude, admiration and respect! If you are in need of a superb lawyer who knows the legal system, one who really cares and will FIGHT for you, Hope Lefeber is THE ONE!

I once hired Hope for a friend of mines who had legal troubles. The way that Hope represented and fought for my friend it was a know brainier for me to hire her for myself when I also ran into some legal troubles. I'm always able to get in contact with her directly never a secretary or paralegal. Bes...ides Hope's 30 years of experience and true professionalism what impresses me the most is that she FIGHTS FIGHTS and FIGHTS for you. She was there step for step with me. Also there is nothing like a attorney who has the respect of everyone inside the court room. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Hope to anyone in need of a attorney.

If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who is strategic, effective, diligent, organized, and fearless in greater Philadelphia area and beyond, you must hire Hope. I was her client for defending the charge of wire fraud. She is a true believer of Blackstone’s formulation, i.e. “It is bette...r that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” Before and during my trial, Hope had spent tireless, sleepless, and heroic efforts on preparations of the defendant’s motions and defense. I was greatly impressed by her skills in direct and cross examinations during the trial. In fact, she exhibited her amazing ability of turning every single government witness into the credible and effective defendant’s witness. She was persistent in exploring all the possible options in order to prevent an innocent defendant like myself from being wrongly convicted. She is very knowledgeable in interpreting federal laws and defending clients against white-collar crimes. I regard her as an excellent counsel who is very effective in formulating strategies and developing arguments before, during, and after the trial. She is not only a very effective trial attorney but also a friend who has great understanding of what her client has gone through during such a hard time. She cares about the well-being of her client. Hope is one of the most reputable, talented, and effective criminal defense attorneys.
