This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank YOU

Kenny Hooks helped me when no one else would even talk to me. He told me its not going to be an over night matter just be patient, so I sat still and I trusted him. Kenny and his firm was there for me as more than just my attorney, they treated me like family. They did a lot of leg work, and got t...he job done right. They were firm and they were not backing down. They fought for me. When I am in need of an attorney Kenny Hooks is who I am going to call. Thank you Kenny and your entire firm and staff for winning my case and for helping me and my family.

Exceptional

Mr. Hooks spent many hours discussing every aspect of my very difficult case. He is very insightful, sincere and compassionate. He communicated his opinions, (positives and negatives) so that I was able to make appropriate decisions going forth. I have many friends who are attorneys (several in m...y family), they all recommended him for my particular situation with a contract. As a professional myself, I could not be more pleased with his representation and professionalism. He paid attention to every minute detail and was able to display the deception and coercion of the other party and their attorney during the hearings. I am pleased to "highly recommend" him and his team when asked for a referral.

Client review

Kenny is a great lawyer. I feel that he truly cares about the clients that he represents. He is friendly, but also very professional. My case went to trial and I felt that Kenny prepared me well. Kenny worked many hours with me reviewing my case and helping me to know what to expect at trial. Kenny a...nd Price were both very knowledgeable at trial and I believe that they represented me well.

Outstanding Attorney

We have worked closely with Mr. Hooks on numerous legal matters for more than 8 years. Mr. Hooks is an outstanding lawyer who possesses extensive knowledge of the law. He has sound judgment and exceptionally strong negotiation skills. Mr. Hooks is always approachable, patient and always atten...tive. He is friendly while very professional and very generous with his time. We will continue to rely on Mr. Hooks' sound legal advice in all future legal needs.

Great Guy/Team Matter Fact!

I was please with the outcome of my case. However I'm thinking maybe it would've been better if we went to trail but its always risks in taking that route, so I stood by faith and his "Hook'em Hooks" works. I mean, I never had a set number that I wanted to settle for. Just wanted it to be fair and in... my eyes it was fair. Hooks said it was fair and a good deal and like I said earlier I trusted Kenny works and he said I did great. Kenny is not only a great attorney but an awesome individual. I would never forget that guy and I wish him the best in every other case he's on. Hooks had so much information on my case and knew everything about my case. It was unbelievable to me how much he knew and researched. So if you every pick up this guy as your attorney you have a fighter. Thanks Hook'em Hooks...Its hot N hea!...lol
