HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Mr. Hochwalt was very knowledgeable in the area of family law with expertise in custody and military divorce. He answered all questions relating to the needs and best interest of children with disabilities in a divorce situation. He was compassionate, interested and respectful. I found his docto...rate in counseling a bonus in addition to his vast knowledge of the law. He went after my best interests financially where high dollar assets were involved. He was always prepared whether going to Court or an office meeting. He tries to reach amicable resolutions for the best interest of the parties and children and of course to save on legal fees, but was not afraid to take it to trial and fiercely fight for me. Mr. Hochwalt’s advice and ability to read people is flawless. Well worth it!

Client for divorce/custody

He talked about my multimillion dollar assets - my children, and helped me protect them from this process while also going after my best interests financially. Extremely helpful as he has a doctorate in counseling and law and is licensed as both an attorney and therapist. I felt that his background a...s a therapist helped me through a difficult process. I would recommend him to anyone willing. To follow great directions on how to successfully cope and win in the process

Recommend with highest honors

We hired Mr. Hochwalt to handle a custody case, involving medical issues for children, technical expertise in regards to their diagnosis and care, and many personal attack issues. Immediately listened and answered questions, provided great advice and explanations of events that would occur, set us at... ease and even provided help for us personally to get through case and life! I've been through 3 custody battles from a previous marriage and our blended family and he is hands down the best attorney we ever had. In 20 years of in and out of court personally, I wish I would have met him at first and NEVER had anyone else! He's that good! I would have saved thousands and years of misery if I had him the first go around because he tells you exactly what can and can't be done, how the system works and what the truth is. If all lawyers were like him we wouldn't have an ethics problem in the legal system, a government that's a wreck and people fighting over kids like possessions because they would all be honest and straight up! Highly recommend and will never be persuaded otherwise.

Wonderful Lawyer highly recommended

We used Mr Hochwalt for a custody case. He set us at ease right away and was very polite and to the point. He told us step by step cost involved and what was going to happen. He called me back or emailed me with any questions that I had and his office staff was very friendly and caring. I highly re...ccommend him for a lawyer!
