All around great attorney!!!

Jeff is a amazing attorney. He is knowledgable, understanding, confident just well rounded. I was up against a large cooperation in a employment matter via the EEOC. He was with me every step of the way. From intial consult, to awaiting a mediation date, follow up calls and emails and sitting face to... face with the company at the EEOC and reaching a settlement . Very honest on the possible outcomes, followed up promptly with my questions and concerns, and was very empathic with me. He was able to resolve my matter to the best of his ability and quickly, despite the fact I lived 2 hours away didn't stop the satisfactory outcome. I highly recomend Jeff, he knows the law, is aggressive, easy to talk to and prompt. Going up against a big cooperation was scary but Jeff was there and left no stone unturned, keeping me up dated and most of all he cared and had my best interest in thought . Thank you so much! I'll forsure use him/ the law firm in any matter I may face in the future! All around great attorney!!!

Recommendation for Jeffrey Hord

If you are looking for an attorney who is trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend Jeffrey Hord. Jeff helped me respond to an inaccurate copyright infringement accusation by a major corporation. I felt overwhelmed as a small business owner, yet he clearly informed me of ...my rights and was able to help me avoid significant costs in unfair damages.

Completely satisfied Client. Jeff Hord is an excellent ERISA Attorney.

Jeff Hord is an excellent attorney on all counts in my experience with him. His manner is purely professional. He is courteous, not at all overbearing to client and simply a pleasure to work with. On the other hand he was professionally firm and aggressive with the opposing side. His analysis of m...y case and of our opposition was thorough at every step. Jeff would research regulations and case histories relevant to my case and then he would “re-research” them as we moved forward. He would then formulate or adjust his strategy and detailed tactics for my case based generally on his cumulative experience, specifically on my case details and refined by his research. He was thorough and attentive to detail. Jeff kept me well informed and well advised with respect to unfolding situations and likely outcomes. He provided me well articulated summaries of the underlying reasons for his determinations and actions. As a result I not only knew what he would be doing in my behalf, but he enabled me to understand his logic and rationale along the way. I never felt I did not know where I stood legally or what my risks were. His advice and guidance was always on point and credible to me as the case unfolded. As it turned out in my case, it was also clearly correct. This was unambiguously manifest in the final results and outcome of my case. Jeff talks straight and in simple to understand terms. Jeff does not mince words nor does he obfuscate. His clearly written communications were smartly and well crafted. Jeff is an excellent, knowledgeable and well-informed attorney in his field of expertise. In my case it was for an ERISA related dispute. I was totally satisfied with his performance in my behalf. I feel fortunate to have found him to represent me.

Excellent Attorney!

I recently found myself in the scary & stressful situation of being a defendant in a civil matter, and Mr. Hord was incredibly helpful and supportive. He was prompt and attentive in all of his responses to my questions, and his communications with me were always very informative. Mr. Hord was great a...t making sure that I fully understood each aspect of my situation (including all the possible consequences), and that I had all the facts before making any decisions. I highly recommend him!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
