Christopher Franklin Hobson

This is my opinion but I feel compelled to share my experience with this firm as a cautionary tale to others. My time with them was marked by disappointment and frustration, leaving me deeply dissatisfied. From the beginning, there was a glaring lack of communication and transparency regarding the pr...ogress of my case. This made me feel misled and undervalued, especially given the significant investment I had made. Despite my efforts to seek guidance from both the paralegal and the attorney, I received inadequate responses and minimal support. I often found myself reaching out to customer service, who, while helpful, couldn't provide the clarity I needed. Moreover, I was dismayed to discover that basic inquiries about my case's status resulted in additional charges, even when I hadn't heard from the attorney. I found myself billed for work without any updates, and strategy sessions were conducted without my involvement or explanation of their purpose. The contract I signed gave them alarming freedom to withdraw money from my account without proper explanation, with invoices offering little clarity on the charges incurred. The fees for their services seemed disproportionate to the work being done, indicating a prioritization of profit over client satisfaction. This led to unnecessary stress and dissatisfaction throughout my experience. Overall, I strongly advise others to approach this firm with caution, as my encounter left much to be desired in terms of professionalism and transparency. Additionally, I was forced to seek assistance from another firm, incurring further expenses. Despite this, I received only a small portion of the funds held in escrow back to me.

My Opinion - The Hobson's lacked professional etiquette. I hired this practice for a simple custody case. Upon meeting with the office, I was assigned a great attorney - Ms. Goff - who after months of paperwork, meetings, and hearings - disappeared. Upon her "leaving" my case was shuffled through mu...ltiple attorneys in the office that did not have any knowledge of the case. Each time someone new touched it, I was charged more. When I started asking questions and asked to speak directly to a Hobson about my concerns; they dropped my case stating that I did not trust them. Thousands of dollars simply thrown down the drain. After finding a new attorney, the case was easily settled in a few short months. It seems that my time spent in the hands of Hobson and Hobson was all about playing a game with the opposing attorney and how much money could be made. They took advantage of the situation for financial gain. - Again; in my opinion.

I hired Mr. Hobson, his wife (attorney), and his staff for contempt of visitation & reduction of child support. The staff constantly forgets stuff, misplaces documentation, asks you to upload the same documents you've already uploaded, asks you the same questions repeatedly, & never returns calls as ...promised. I submitted great evidence of ex-wife's income, new business, & he never used the info I provided to reduce my child support other than reduction b/c of daycare not needed anymore. My child support was barely reduced. The worst is that I paid close to 7k and they still wanted more money without legitimately showing how it was spent. The invoices prepared by his wife was very sketchy and showed no detail to what calls were for other than listed as "call", all paperwork showed to be prepared was listed vaguely and seemed to be listed just to use up money. I didn't like that and know I'd list an itemized list when spending someone's money. The whole process didn't seat well in my spirit. I do understand that lawyers cost money, but you have to be professional, accurate, & be a good steward of your client's funds. Especially showing how you spent it.
