Best lawyer around!

Mr. Hosford was a referral through a trusted friend and I couldn't thank them enough. Even before I had hired Mr. Hosford he was committed to my case. He was patient with me and let me give him way more details than he needed. He listened, and that's what I needed at the time. Unlike the other lawyer...s I interviewed. He became someone I could trust early on. He opened up communication directly for my time sensitive and emotional case. He was always prompt to court, and quick to respond to me. Not only did I have so much respect for Mr. Hosford but the entire legal department did. Walking into the court room it seemed everyone had a great relationship with this bow tie adorned attorney. Talk about a stress relief. To this day Mr. Hosford has taken care of all of my legal work as well as pointing me in other directions when needed. I have referred countless friends to him and each an everyone one has booked with him. On top of just booking they were always pleased with the outcome. At the end of the day Mr. Hosford knows his stuff! He will not lead you astray and will be upfront from the beginning. Mr. Hosford treats even his smallaest cases as professionally as he does his Superior Court cases.

Excellent lawyer, and nice guy too

Mr. Hosford did an excellent job with my case. I had a misdemeanor criminal driving charge while I was in college, and some friends who had used him in the past refered me to him. During the consultation he listened to my issue and gave me a few options of how to approach my case. We ended up continu...ing the case for awhile to get me time to get my affairs in order, then we eventually decided the best course of action for my case was to plead guilty to the least severe charge available. I never felt pressured to take the plea though, he was willing to try the case if I wanted, but I ultimately decided a plea was the right move for me. Overall, I am very satisfied with his work and advice. Hopefully I never need his services again, but if something ever happens, he's my guy. I keep his business card in my wallet, it has a pretty cool statement on the back that invokes all your Constitutional rights if you give/read it to a police officer. It's a nice touch. A+ lawyer!

Dismissal or not guilty

I've been dealing with Mr. Hosford for a long time he's never left me misunderstood. Dismissal or not guilty is the rules he play by. I needed him one time in the wee hours in the morning and he was there for me Jeff Hosford is my lawyer The Best of the Best
