Hard Working, Honest and Accessible!

I rarely give a complete A+ review on any kind of product or service, but in this case quite frankly I can't think of anything bad or disappointing about my experience hiring attorney Matthew Hoff of Vancouver, WA. I had a marginal DUI case (.08) with a shaky police report but the DUI laws in Washing...ton are complex involving separate actions from the Department of Licensing that have no link to your court case. I would not recommend trying to navigate this on your own. Matt is friendly, honest and lays it all your options. He explains everything clearly and I never waited more than half a day for a return call or e-mail. I've had a few experiences with attorneys for work and family stuff and get frustrated sometimes because of their lack of response to my questions and calls. Matt was always accessible and if he didn't know the answer to my question, he found out quickly and let me know. One more thing I liked about working with Matt was he followed up with me. I'm new to town and had no clue where to go to handle all the paperwork but Matt walked with me to the places I needed to go and made sure I knew where to go to wrap up my paperwork. If you need a lawyer fast who you can trust and feel comfortable with, I'd strongly say to hire Matt Hoff.
