Tenacious, thoughtful, informative

Mr. Hobson handled my divorce. A divorce that should have been simple turned into "the divorce from hell" because my spouse became vindictive and filed new motions, many of them frivolous, at least once a week. Mr. Hobson kept me well informed and helped me to understand each motion, and the opt...ions available. When I was frustrated or upset over developments in the case, he was able to put things in perspective for me. He fought hard for me, and after a long 9 month struggle, the divorce ended with a settlement that I believe was fair to both sides.

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.
