Thank you Travis

My ex began an extra-marital affaire with her colleague and filed for divorce, luckily I was referred to Hoover Krepelka, and retained Travis Krepelka. I have a deep appreciation to the high professionalism along with deep empathy of Hoover Krepelka, especially in CA where such legal system can be... quite hard to comprehend for us laymen who are forced to deal with this overwhelming meat grinding machine; on top of that, my ex has a vindictive and aggressive character, after 5 rounds of subpoena from her, and ignoring my 7 global settlement offers, her attorney (who is also a partner of local firm) still pushed the case to a trial, in which Travis was side by side with me to cope with this ordeal. We had a land slide win in this civil trial!

Great Lawyer

Travis did an excellent job representing me. He is skilled, intelligent and extremely engaged in his work. I always felt he had a great understanding of our situation and all the details of our divorce. Travis is also easy to work with and a pleasure to be around. I could not recommend him more h...ighly.

Sharing my experience.

I think finding a law firm that cares for its client and will fight to get the best deal for you is hard. Based on my experience, the Hoover Krepelka team will do that for you. I feel lucky I chose Hoover Krepelka to represent me. I don't understand much about family law, so I appreciated all the ti...me they spent explaining each part of my contract and all the advice they provided on how to modify it. Travis and the team were able to make several changes to the initial agreement to ensure my interest was protected. Thank you!

I hope you never need to read this, but if you do, this team is the best family trial lawyer. Period.

I sincerely recommend Hoover Krepelka, without reservation. I’ve worked on multi-billion dollar merger transactions in my career where we spent millions of dollars on lawyers and if I closed my eyes I couldn’t tell the difference in terms of capability and professionalism. Beyond that, I really enj...oyed working with Ben and Travis on a personal level. Let’s not pretend this is an enjoyable situation to be dealing with, but I always felt very supported. Here’s my story: I tried to manage this process myself, and made very little progress getting the opposing counsel to take me serious so I decided to hire some help. To identify the right fit I scraped a public site with every lawyer in the state in order to filter for a minimum level of experience and education levels. I had calls with over a dozen qualified lawyers to consider an engagement, and I also asked each of them one last question “who is the most capable trial lawyer that you really wouldn’t want to go against”. Hoover Krepelka came up 1/3rd of the time, so I knew I needed to talk to them. When they came on board the other side changed their posture – the credibility was evident immediately. My case was complicated (including millions of dollars at play and an ex-spouse who was threatening to move the kids to a different state). This team was able to listen, ask questions and make strategic assessments that were very on point. They were very responsive and hardworking even when juggling other cases concurrently. We formulated a dual process for litigation and negotiation, and having the credible firepower to litigate if needed was absolutely necessary to achieve a negotiated outcome. The story ended well and I think both sides were happy (enough) with the results and there is zero chance it would have ended up so well without this team. I cannot thank them enough.

Ethical Family Law Attorney

My friend who is going through a divorce recently asked me about my experience and who I'd recommend. I told her about Travis whom I met with Travis a few years ago for a consultation. He informed me of my rights an gave me some selfless solid advice. He told me that since I was not married, I did n...ot necessarily have to go through the courts if we could work things out between us. Otherwise, it could be costly if we did not agree. So luckily...so far so good. I have been able to work things out with the father of my child and outside of the courts. One of my friend was not so lucky. She had placed a retainer with another attorney. She met with Travis for a consultation and unfortunately "custody" issues keep coming up. She ended up using Travis for these custody issues and so did her new husband with his ex and his children. I'm forever grateful I didn't meet with a greedy attorney. I saved more than money... I truly believe he saved my sanity.
