Posted by Alex | July 08, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Mr. Hoover was Excellent

I was a passenger in a car that got rear ended in 2018, this accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury that drastically changed my life. I hired Mr. Hoover to represent me shortly after getting out of the hospital, and it was one of the smartest choices I have made in my life. Mr. Hoover went abo...ve and beyond the scope of traditional Personal Injury lawyer throughout my recovery. Due to his professional relationship with the top neurologists and treating medical professionals in Colorado, I was able get the help I needed to restart my life. Mr. Hoover never treated me as "just another case", he spent countless hours getting to know me and my issues, all while acting with empathy and persistence to get me the recovery I deserved. He took the time to explain every step in my case, what my realistic possibilities were, as well as explained all of the legal jargon I had no context for. Not once throughout the 3+ years of my case did I have trouble getting into contact with Mr. Hoover. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Mr. Hoover as my attorney, he helped me get the medical attention I needed rather than sending me to "experts" that look good on paper, and got me the recovery I deserved. If you want a lawyer who will treat you with respect and dignity while fighting tooth and nail for you, Hire Mr. Hoover!

Mr. Hoover is a Top-Notch Lawyer

I sought legal help from Robert Hoover after sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Hoover was compassionate, responsive, communicative, and thorough. He took time to answer all of my questions, in a comprehensible manner, without ever making me feel rush...ed or judged. Moreover, Mr. Hoover handled my case in a timely manner and ensured I received proper compensation. Mr. Hoover made the best out of a bad situation and I would seek his help, without hesitation, in the future.

Excellent Legal Help for my Accident

The entire time I worked with Mr. Hoover, he kept me informed and comforted with all possibilities regarding my case. He provided me with information to make sure I was taken care of and more than exceeded my expectations as a legal firm and with the results of my accident. I'm very impressed and w...ould not hesitate to go to him again if needed.

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.
