Excellent

I suffered a total left knee quadricep rupture while using an amenity in my neighborhood. Stairs that had not been maintained by new management were extremely slippery and pitched down with no handrail available. The pitch of these stairs accelerated a slip and without a railing to grab I was unabl...e to save myself from a devastating injury which required surgery and months of therapy. There will likely be lifelong lingering issues with this knee. I did not have a fighting chance, the downward pitch, the slipperiness and the lack of handrail took that away. This matched other areas in my neighborhood which had suffered neglect while under new management. Fortunately, I was referred to Attorney Rob Hoekstra, Hoekstra Law Firm, Orlando, Florida. Rob explained my various options and was willing to take my case. Rob became my fighting chance. Rob’s experience in these cases was obvious from my first conversation with him. Rob explained my options and always gave me time to make decisions on how I would like to proceed. Over the course of this case, we conversed via phone, email, text and even a facetime call. I have been kept apprised of everything. I have had options every step of the way, Rob helped explain each of these steps, how they would likely play out and how we as a team would handle things. When things were confusing, Rob explained what was happening and why they were happening. Rob negotiated a settlement in the tune of 3 times the original offer from the insurance company. Rob had my full trust throughout this case and I feel fortunate to have found an attorney who knows the system well and how to fight for me. I am very satisfied with the outstanding representation Attorney Rob Hoekstra provided me.

Dedicated Until the End!

Robert and the entire Hoekstra Law Firm staff were dedicated to my case until it was resolved. I was involved in a hit-and-run accident and Robert remained compassionate and understanding throughout the entire process. He worked with me for almost 9 months and did not once give any indication that he... had quit or "loss interest" in representing me. He remained professional and maintained his integrity. My case was settled and I am pleased with the results. Thank you again for all your help! I would highly recommend working with him and his firm.

Robert's legal leadership and knowledge is excellent, but more importantly, his profession and personal charter are second to none.

Best Lawyer In Orlando

What can I say about the Hoekstra Law, well nothing but a good thing? I could have gone to a big law fire like Dan or Morgan. No, I wanted someone that would work my case like if I was part of his family. They did just that and in the end, I was able to get 6 figures. rob and his office staff were al...ways nice and easy to talk to, they made me feel at ease knowing that they were handling my case. So if you ask me again I would say that the Hoekstra law firm especially Rob Hoekstra is one if not the best attorney for personal and worker comp cases. I would recommend him to anyone that I know that needs or will never need a lawyer.
