The Go To Attorney in the City!

What felt like never ending litigation and after several attorneys….I was once again in a position where I was on the search for another attorney….There were several other law firms who did not want to take my case and then there were several attorneys who referred me to Mr. Hoge, as he is obviously ...the go to attorney in the city for the type of attorney I was looking for….and I see why! He is honest and straightforward. No matter whether it was good news or not so good news, he always put realistic expectations on the situation, even if it was hard to take in the news. Mr. Hoge always cut out the extra talk and made sure to stick to the facts of the case and to discuss what actually matters. He was very time and money conscious when billing and put in the hours where needed. Really appreciate Mr. Hoge and very glad he took on my case and took a chance on me!

Outstanding and Highly Recommended

Chris and his team were nothing short of straightforward, diligent, transparent and immensely generous with their time, attention and resources. As quickly as I hired Chris to address a sensitive legal matter, he was able to produce a solution that exceeded expectations and well within the negotiate...d fee. Chris speaks with you...not to you. Chris relays strategy and areas of concern in plain English, and leaves you with the clear understanding that he is your advocate. He is timely with his correspondence, available for discussions, and honest about what to expect from him and his team. I slept well knowing Chris was my attorney and would not hesitate to work with him again, not to mention recommend him unequivocally as a highly competent lawyer and counsel.

Recommend without hesitation

After extensively researching several attorneys to pursue a legal malpractice case, I settled on Chris Hoge because of his reputation in the legal community of being fair but relentless in assisting his clients. His advice and instincts were excellent as the case became increasingly, and frustrating...ly, more complicated and prolonged. Not for one second, over more than two years, did I ever believe that my representation was less than superb. Chris always represented me well, despite the other side having an array of attorneys. Chris was always pleasant to deal with and the eventual resolution of the case was very much to my satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Hoge.

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.

Excellent lawyer, hardworking and knowledgable team

Chris Hoge is an excellent, experienced and ethical lawyer. He and the Crowley, Hoge and Fein team achieved a favorable outcome for me as plaintiff in an exceedingly complicated legal malpractice case. Not only did Hoge's seasoned expertise, sophistication and professionalism benefit me in thi...s case these attributes were crucial ingredients to keeping things on track in other suits being litigated concurrently in other jurisdictions. The Crowley, Hoge and Fein team worked tirelessly in my suit while, also willingly cooperating and coordinating with my other attorneys. Chris Hoge is an attorney of the highest caliber and his firm, Crowley, Hoge and Fein is a rare boutique firm gem that has the confidence to think outside the box, expertise to separate the wheat from the chaff and most importantly has the patience to help the legal underdog. People in need of legal assistance should discuss their matter with this firm. I recommend Chris Hoge and his team without reservation.
