PASSION AND INTEGRITY
God sent Mr. Hobbs to me like an angel in a very confusing difficult time. I did not truly understand what I was being charged with and why. Mr. Hobbs is not only passionate about his career he has a passion for bringing justice back to those who get mixed up in the confusing legal processes. His professionalism is more than STELLAR!!!!

REPRESENTED MY WIFE
My wife received a citation for a traffic accident that wasn't her fault. I remembered what I had always been taught, not to argue at the scene. Let my lawyer do the talking. Nicholas Hobbs was eloquent in the court room and dealing with the police officer so we were able to have the case dismissed. This guy knows what he is doing.

Very Satisfied Former Client
Mr. Nick Hobbs provided me great peace of mind during a very difficult time. Consistently available and prompt, he was extremely professional. He responded quickly to all of my calls or e-mails. He went above and beyond in many ways, including networking and making contacts out of the immediate area on behalf of my family. He exhibited extreme patience as he listened to concerns relating to the case from various family members even when that meant, at times answering the same questions again and again until all parties understood completely. He made my family feel that we were his only clients. He was knowledgeable about all the circumstances of our case and he made sure that we all understood as well. I felt completely informed on how our case would unfold. I truly believe that the outcome of our case went extremely well because of the professionalism and expertise of Mr. Hobbs.
