Great lawyer

Mr. Hoeme was an excellent choice in lawyers. I was visiting from out of state and he took care of all our legal issues with great personal attention. He devoted the time required for a great outcome to my case. Being from out of state we were always kept informed of what was going on every step o...f the way. I am very grateful for Jess and his team for helping me keep my life from being derailed. I highly recommend him.

Profesional & Excellent Representation

Mr. Hoeme did an excellent job of representing me this past year. His knowledge and experience proved to be most essential in my case. He not only provided mental support but kept me updated on all aspects of the case including all possible scenarios. Be it good or bad results. He is an excellent t...rial lawyer. His presence in the courtroom was most powerful. He is well spoken and extremely knowledgeable and because of this the results of my case were unanimously in my favor. I recommend him very highly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
