Zealous Advocate

A zealous advocate, that's what my friend told me I should look for, and needed, in a lawyer to represent me in my legal endeavor against my previous lawyer, who had obviously mishandled my case. The case was a difficult one; one that I knew would take a special kind of lawyer to handle. It would ...take someone who was thorough, tenacious, insightful, persevering, meticulous, trustworthy, truthful and patient, above all, patient. I interviewed several recommended lawyers in the area, each of which had excellent reputations, however, none of which was the right fit for me. When one has been through a very difficult and lengthy legal battle, as I had experienced, it is imperative to have the perfect council, one you completely trust, wielding the final sword in your defense. Chris Hoge was that person and I knew that on the first meeting. He was humble and kind, and a person I could put my entire trust in, and so I did. I was never sorry. He was truly a zealous advocate, fair with his time, his knowledge, and also beyond fair with his billing. He was relentless in defending and advising of me as his client, and also he and his team became my friends and support system. My case was on their books for years. This was not their doing, as they were ever prepared, but just due to the situation of the case. At any rate, they were available to me at any moment to keep me always informed and confident. You can't do better than that. When you are in need of excellent council, one cannot do better than Chris Hoge.

Chris Hoge: an exceptional class of charactor and legal representation

I was fortunate to have been referred and to have engaged the Chris Hoge team to represent my interests in a recent malpractice case. Hiring an attorney (for me) means applying all legal remedies, highly skilled negotiation tactics and their excellent reputation to get me, the client, results. Mr. ...Hoge's calculating and quick wit at the deposition phase was intellectually entertaining (the opposition either didn't know or how defend what would hit them) but more importantly we achieved the desired results without having to go to court. Hiring and meeting Mr. Hoge was a very favorable experience and I have the utmost respect for him and his team. For a malpractice case, I would NOT go nor would I recommend my friends/family to go elsewhere and be confident and proud that I did. Thank you.

The Best

Chris Hoge helped me when no one else would. I am thankful everyday for meeting him. He is absolutely one of the best lawyer I have worked with. I totally trust him to help me make the best decisions possible. He spends time with me make sure I understand what is at hand and what is needed to move fo...rward. He is helpful in explaining the law and case study to me, so I can better understand what I am getting into and what to expect. I also appreciate that he talks to me as an equal and explains things so I can understand them. In any case Chris would be the lawyer I would hope to work with.

Excellent Legal Services Rendered by Mr. Christopher Hoge

I hired Christopher Hoge to address my company's Malpractice case against another Law Firm (whom I had hired to represent my company on Anti-dumping & International Trade Law litigation) and hiring was a good decision. As he is was very capable and did his homework on the case and was also very good ...at keeping my staff and I informed and up to the minute in what was going on in the case. Due to the nature of the case and the fact that it involved US DOC & Trade Laws it was very complicated. But Chris was up for the challenge and represented my company skilfully and the case was resolved to my satisfaction.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is thoughtful, strategic and extremely cool, calm and collected under presssure. He assessed a case involving a fraudulent transaction in a matrimonial matter. He quickly filed the appropriate pleading, served discovery and applied the perfect amount of pressure on the other side to get them to the negotiating table. Once at the table, he was firm but approachable thus facilitating a very favorable result for the client. When in need, Chris should be on the top of your list of Attorneys in DC and surrounding areas in Maryland to consult and get guidance.
