Matthew Thomas Hovey

I hired Mr. Hovey when a former employer unfairly refused to pay wages that he owed me. For 14 months, Mr. Hovey walked me through each step of the process of my lawsuit. He always put me at ease and used layman's terminology when speaking to me , although his correspondence to the defendant's lawy...er was always highly professional wording. He had an incredible knowledge about my particular issue, and kept me focused on the task at hand. He honestly and quickly answered any questions I had and offered suggestions when I didn't even know what questions to ask. He was more interested in justice being served than in trying to get "big bucks" from my former boss. The case went all the way to Federal court , and I am happy and relieved that he won the case for me. He fought an honest and fair fight and didn't try to gouge the defendant. Mr. Hovey and I both walked away from court today with our heads held high, recouping all his lawyer's fees as well as the salary owed to me from a few years ago. Thank you, my friend!

Matt was there for me throughout my case. Not only was he there to answer my questions, but any questions that my family had about the custody. At every step of my case, I felt like he was not only watching out for me, but my kids as well. He saw me through a bad situation, and thanks to him I got... my kids back. I would recommend him to anyone who is not just looking for a good lawyer, but someone who will treat your case with the professionalism and care it deserves.

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Attorney Matthew Hovey. I had a matter that I would rather keep private, but I needed an attorney. From the moment I contacted Attorney Hovey, I felt at ease. I had been looking for an Attorney for quite some time, but I was tired of finding the same old arrogant..., impersonal individuals who clearly had a chip on their shoulder and didn’t really care about me or my needs, but were more concerned with their own egos and reputations. When I first met with Attorney Hovey, I saw something different in him. He was a person who truly cared. He wasn’t arrogant, but knowledgeable. He didn’t need to use fancy words or loud speech to prove he was capable. I am a highly educated woman who has been around long enough to be able to see through those who are fake and deceiving. I loved the fact that I could, with confidence, say that I 100% trusted my lawyer, and had no doubt he would fight for me. My father was an attorney, so I understand the profession, and the amount of work and demand that is placed on lawyers. Attorney Hovey still, no matter how busy he was, made time for me, always returning my calls or emails. If you are fed up with the stereotypical lawyer, and want someone different, someone better, I highly recommend Attorney Matthew Hovey.

Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when it involves children, but thanks to Mr. Hovey, I have been able to make it through this transition with ease. Hovey is an amazingly talented man, who has extensive knowledge and passion for what he does. I have given him plenty of obstacles,... which he has been able to handle brilliantly. More importantly, I was able to trust him and I felt comfortable knowing that my children had a voice. Just like pediatricians, I interviewed several attorneys before I found Mr. Hovey and I couldn't be happier that I found him. If you are looking for an attorney, I highly recommend him. He is trustworthy, available and accessible, well prepared, loyal, knowledgeable and very personable. I am not just a client, I am an individual. He does not tell you what you want to hear, he tells you the facts. Hovey is committed in every fashion and has proven to me time and time again that he was the right choice for me. Hopefully, I will not need his services again, but if I did, I know where to go!
