Matthew Thomas Hovey

Matt Hovey is a very excellent lawyer, he was able to successfully get me primary custody of my child after her mother unexpectadly moved to a different state. Mr. Hovey is very knowledgable and always honest. He obviously cares about his cases but at the same time remains objective to be able to giv...e the best advice. His hourly rate may was not the cheapest of the other lawyers I spoke to, but it is comparable. However, this is more than made up for as he is very mindful of my monitary situation. He cut my upfront retaining fee in half and my bills were never as high as I expected them to be. and he has been willing to work with me on payments. As an example of how he is mindful of cost when I was talking to other lawyers to decide which one to hire the other lawyers want to file some writ with courts and force some initial hearing that would have cost me thousands and even after this hearing I would still need to go to court for custody. Mr. Hovey explained that he could file this writ but he recomended sending a letter explaining the law to my ex and we would end up in the exact same place as the writ but for a couple hundred bucks. It was an obvious choice. Being that this is the first time I ever needed a lawyer, he was able to calm my nerves and make me feel very comftorable and he is personable and never made me feel like I was being talked down to. He always made sure that I was kept in the loop and informed me of how and why he did the things he did. Like he explained that even though I would want to he wouldn't attack every point my ex was going to bring up because the burden of proof was on her and it wouldn't help. Turns out he was right. In short I am very pleased that I placed my trust in Matt Hovey and if you find yourself in the need of an attorney he is deffinatly the one to have.

We had issues with a contractor who left our property damaged following his work. After failed attempts to contact him and resolve the issue on our own we sought the assistance of Mr. Hovey. He was able to resolve the issue to our satisfaction in a timely manner and was professional and knowledgeab...le. He addressed our concerns and kept us informed throughout the process. We would definitely seek his assistance in the future if needed again and would strongly recommend him to other potential clients.

God Bless You all. I can honestly say that Matt Hovey became more than just your average lawyer to our family. He truly poured his heart out into our case and fought for us. Although things are not completely over, he continues fighting for my children and my family. Matt not only believed our story ...but joined the fight for justice. He is truly committed to what he does and very knowledgeable on the law. If you are looking for defense, I believe that Matt is the best person to go to. He puts himself in your shoes to feel what you feel and fights until the truth overcomes. Our family continues asking God to bless him for all the time and dedication he has given us. Take Care!
