Deceptive RV resort developer

Mr. Hooley and his assistant, Diane, won our class action law suit against a California developer who charged a 3% rate over the 6% for the realtor. It was against Florida law and Mr. Hooley stood for us and never gave up. A heart of gratitude to their professionalism, unending dedication to our caus...e. God bless you always. Forever grateful, Kathy and Herb

Successful Case

I hired Mr. Hooley to represent me in a civil court case. He advised mediation and was successful in negotiating very favorable terms on my behalf. A walking giant of intelligence, expertise and legal experience and I'm glad he was on MY side of the table. Highly recommend, YES!

Great lawyer

Mr. Hooley was a wonderful lawyer visiting me in rehab to start the process. He was on top of everything from reviewing police records to finding the truck drivers alternative insurances. He would always make time for questions and was warm and compassionate. With the many injuries I had, he always s...aid you worry about getting better - I'll worry about the rest.

Excellant Attorney

John Hooley has been my attorney for over three years, working on a long, difficult case. I found him to be a skillful, diligent, professional attorney - at all times honest and forthright. I would recommend him without hesitation.

A class act

John Hooley defended me in a vexatious law suit. Throughout the proceedings he displayed his qualities of integrity, intelligence, knowledge, and a determination to fight for justice. He kept me informed and provided moral support during the inevitable set-backs. Towards the end, when the going wa...s really tough, he went the extra mile and I shall forever be grateful to him for it. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of a first class litigator.
