This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Accident

Attorney Hoen is very professional and easy to deal with. He worked hard on our cases and was successful in winning for us. I highly recommend him.

Posted by Amanda | February 2, 2015

Wonderful Lawyer

I have used Mr. Hoen's services on two occasions, and on both occasions his services were superb! He was able anytime I needed, and always eager to answer any questions I had. He also was very compassionate towards my situation, and always made sure I was doing well before/after my case.

Posted by Nina | October 8, 2014

Justice Is Served...

After months and months of frustration attempting to handle the logistics of my husband's workers compensation case we sought legal counsel from Mr Hoen's firm. It was such a relief to have someone with such professionalism and knowledge take the lead and offer his expertise in navigating this diffi...cult situation. He and his staff have been the epitome of professionalism and taken every measure within the limits of the law to ensure that we received a fair and just outcome.

Posted by Harry | September 29, 2014

Thank you

Mr. Hoen and his staff has always shown the proper concern and professionalism with every aspect of my case. He has even gone as far as to communicate with me while he was at home or out on holiday. If I ever need an attorney again, he is the one u would call. I would recommend Mr. Hoen to anyone who... is need of an atturney.

Posted by Dr. Kevin | August 31, 2012

An attorney that is easy to talk to.

Although I have hired Mr. Hoen to handle a legal matter for me personally in the past, I most often work with him through my patients. I have had many opportunities to see how he handled issue that arise for my patients when they have been involved in motor vehicle accidents. And, although he is alwa...ys professional and by many measures an excellent litigator, I feel one of his greatest strengths is in his communication to his clients. Mr. Hoen will not talk down to his clients, barrage them with legal-eze, or leave them without a good understanding of their position. Should a patient or I ever need to get a hold of him, and that is rare, it is never a problem. I can recommend him without hesitation.

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.
