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.

Grateful for Hope

The Department of Justice is a force not to be reckoned with! You need a seasoned expert in your corner to navigate you through the many twists and turns that your case will take. Hope Lefeber's extensive experience with the criminal Justice system and her established relationships with the people ...that want to hold you accountable allow her to telegraph you effectively through the long, hazardous and emotional wrenching process. Hope’s network of professional resources as well as her ability and willingness to consult with other legal professionals is an invaluable resource during your time of legal jeopardy. From the time I was contacted by the Department of Justice until I pled guilty for a tax offense and subsequently had to face a judge at sentencing there were many complex decisions that had to be made in order to manage to the best outcome. Thankfully, the punishment was a probationary sentence for which I am most grateful. My freedom was at stake and Hope’s insight into the process allowed for this type of outcome to present itself as an option when in the beginning stages there was no clear path to it. If you find yourself as a target of an investigation, contact Hope, thankfully I did.

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!!!!!!

When you need hope...call Hope !

Our story is very long but I'll sum it up, weI desperately needed an attorney and we needed one the night before Thanksgiving. I believe it was close to 9pm and I had already resigned myself to the fact that this was a longshot that someone would answer a call hours before the holiday . I found Hop...e Lefeber online and tried the number! Much to my delight she answered personally ! I told her I liked her name and Hope was what we needed ! We needed her in court first thing Friday morning, the day after Thanksgiving and she said "I'll be there " and she was and has been through a very trying time in our lives. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough and is still helping us through the twists and turns . We highly recommend her !! Thank you Hope !!
