Bankruptcy

I hired Mr Hoyt for a bankruptcy case. He made it very simple and explained everything to me very clearly and answered my questions. Every time I called he answered or got right back with me. I would definitely recommend Howard Hoyt.

Amazing Service!!

Mr. Hoyt helped me through my entire divorce. During the first consultation he explained to me the entire process. He made it understandable. Once I got him the required documents everything went super quick. It was uncontested so I was able to get my ex to sign the papers without an trouble. He was extremely well priced for the level of service I received. I am currently working with him on my finances and he is amazing. Highly recommended!!

ExcellentService

Mr. Hoyt is very personable, he persoanlly answered the phone when I callled. He was very attentive and handled my traffic tickets in a very prompt and efficient manner, he appeared on my behalf and I did not have to go to court. I could not be happier with the service I received, I hope I never require the services of an attorney again but if I do i will definitely be calling upon Mr. Hoyt.

Thorough knowledge of personal bancruptcy

We had need of Howard Hoyt's professional services on two occasions. He provided all the knowledge and assistance we could have hoped for, and we considered his fees very reasonable for all the time and effort he expended on our behalf. We were very satisfied with his efforts both times.

Gets the Job Done!

I found Howard through a recommendation from a friend when I had some sticky, personal, legal issues surrounding a contract dispute. I was not sure where to turn and the big firm in the city I used last time for my business was expensive and not responsive. Howard took up the challenge. After an initial consultation he came up with a course of action and started on it the same day. He called every couple of days to let me know what the progress was and feedback from the parties involved. Legal entanglements often drag on forever. Howard was able to stay on the case until it was resolved just 3 weeks later. And for a very reasonable fee. I liked working with Mr Hoyt. His many years of experience put him way ahead of the younger lawyers in the biggish firms and he was easy to communicate with. He always answered the phone and kept me in the loop.
