Vigilant and No-Nonsense Representation

Gary, Michael, & DeAnna, Due to the unexpected death of my beloved mother and running two Covid-19 units I wanted to express a belated Thank you that’s long overdue. Each of you deserve a “shout out” and much gratitude in your roles and participation while working on my case over the years. Your... team effort approach is vigilant, knowledgeable and offers no-nonsense representation. Not only is this concept refreshing but your practice offers a full menu of legal services that craft a legal strategy response to maximize personal attention to each client’s unique needs and circumstances. The quality of your services is reflective in your quality outcomes. You set the bar high and become the benchmark of Lake County as evidenced by your community driven service, reputation, and return clientele. To each of you……thank you for protecting my biggest assets…my children. Words can’t express how truly grateful I am. I appreciate each of you and time spent while working on my case.

So happy to find such a great lawyer!

I hired Deanna Hoyt in my child placement case. She was very respectful honest and caring! In such a hard time she was so understanding in my situation even being in a different state. Deanna responded so promptly with every email or phone call, I always knew exactly what was going on in my case she’...s very knowledgeable and doesn’t mess around on getting things accomplished. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with child placement. I will be going back to her if I need any help in the future!

Great Attorney!

I would highly recommend Deanna Hoyt. I hired her and Michael Strauss part-way through my divorce process due to dissatisfaction with my first attorney. As soon as they were hired they learned my case and got it back on track. Deanna is very knowledgeable and she responded in a timely manner with que...stions I had related to the documents we were working on and the overall divorce process. I felt confident in her ability to litigate, on my behalf, against opposing counsel. My case was complex and high conflict due to opposing party but she knew how to navigate through those difficult waters. Quite frankly, I believe she continued getting better and better throughout the entire divorce process and I believe she will continue to be a fantastic attorney a great asset to Michael's team. If you're in need of legal representation I would highly recommend Deanna Hoyt.

Truly an amazing lawyer

Deanna came into my case half way through my divorce. She did an amazing job in the firm catching up with my ugly divorce. She is very knowledgeable of the laws and can file an amazing petition when my ex took away my parent time. Within days of her filling the contempt i got my girls back. She fough...t like hell and helped me finalize my nasty divorce. She answered every email quickly and addressed all my questions and needs. I highly recommend her and her law firm Schlesinger and strauss.
