There's Lawyers and then there's Hope

They're lawyers and then there's Hope Lefeber. She is someone who not only understands the law but is well versed in representing her clients, utilizing her knowledge and experience with the law. Hope is straightforward and will give you the defense you need. She takes her time explaining the ...process and is very thorough in her preparation for your defense. She helped our family tremendously and did her part with integrity. In many cases the stress can be extremely high and sensitive, Hope understands that and operates from a place of empathy and doesn't discount the pain of her client or their family. She has a high regard for respect and she will give you the utmost respect and her time. Many times lawyers will often lie or give you a version of what they will do to get you as a client, however Hope will not be that lawyer, hence they're lawyers and then there's Hope. Her name represents her very well, she will not just give you hope but fight for you and renew your hope for your defense whatever it may be you're facing legally. She is realistic and will defend your case without smoke and mirrors, she is someone that you can rely on. In closing I will say this I always got a prompt response from her and she always explained things in detail as to never be confused. She also always was empathetic towards me and our family and gave not only her legal expertise but her care towards us, I am thankful for her and all she has done for our family. I highly recommend her and no pun intended I hope you have the same experience with Hope Lefeber.

The Best Attorney, Person, Individual, to Hire for your Defense

Ms. Hope Lefeber is an extremely caring, compassionate, understanding, and very well versed attorney. She puts her clients first and makes you feel at easy even through trying times. She not only works with the client, but with the family as well in keeping you abreast of what is happening and expe...ctations. She is always available to talk and does not just push you aside. Her calming voice, detailed answers, and just her overall spirit tells you right away she is on your side and willing to fight for you, especially if the government is trying to accuse you of something you know that you are completely innocent. When our family first met Ms. Lefeber she immediately listened and was able to fully understand what was happening as our son is facing federal charges. Ms. Lefeber explores the facts and gives you her honest feedback even though it is hard to comprehend at first. She breaks down everything in detail and is able to put your mind at easy just knowing she is on your side. I know what impressed our family the most was the way she stepped up after we had a horrible attorney who was not there for our sons benefit. She immediately started taking action with no hesitation and making contact with the proper individuals. If you want an Attorney who’s going to fight for you and not make you feel like you are guilty before being proven innocent you need to Hire Ms. Hope Lefeber she is an extraordinary attorney, individual, and overall person. “She’s not just in it for the money, but to win, for you the client”.

Very calming presence

After recently being confronted by federal agents, I was intimidated and confused. Hope cleared up all the confusion. She was looking out for me 100% and didn’t let me feel bullied or pressured any longer. She was empathetic and very responsive. She erased all my worries. I would recommend her withou...t hesitation to friends, family, or anyone who needs someone who knows what they’re doing.

She IS her NAME!!.... HOPE

When you are in a desperate situation you need to speak with an attorney RIGHT THEN & NOW. I had called SEVERAL lawyers and all I got was a paralegal asking me a bunch of stupid questions, saying " I will pass your message on and somebody will contact you." NO, NO, NO...that doesn't work for me as I ...need to speak with an attorney NOW, not someone who will call me back at THEIR convenience. I then prayed and said, " Lord please direct me to an attorney who will HELP me." Afterwards, I saw the name...HOPE and I KNEW it was DIVINE intervention. I dialed her number so quickly and an assistant answered, "hello." I said, " Please, I NEED to speak with Hope about my son's case NOW." WITHOUT NO dumb questions, WITHOUT NO taking a message, WITHOUT saying someone will get back to me...the assistant said," Sure, please hold." Then when I heard HOPE say, " Hello, how may I help you?" I said to myself, " Thank you Jesus, I got the RIGHT ONE NOW!" I explained to Hope the situation and I wanted to discuss the money aspect of things, Hope WASN'T EVEN CONCERNED about $$$ UNLIKE MOST attorneys. Don't get me wrong, attorneys have bills to pay also, but Hope was concerned about my son and his case, NOT MONEY!! It was like talking to FAMILY. Hope is ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT YOU. Hope was "ALL OVER IT" & got results for us.. GOOD RESULTS!! She UNDERSTANDS & understands how law enforcement treats "US". She gets it. Hope is CONCERNED, COMPASSIONATE and KNOWS THE LAW!! This lady ain't no joke when it comes to the law. I'm just sooo thankful & grateful that God lead me to her. I even have her PERSONAL CELL phone number. I can call Hope ANYTIME. Hope is my attorney for Life. So when unforeseen circumstances come your way...... RELAX, KEEP CALM, & CALL HOPE. With HOPE on ya side.....you CAN'T GO WRONG! She IS IN FACT HER NAME.....HOPE!!!!!!

Sincere, professional and highly recommended

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.
