Effective Mediator

I found Frank to be a very fair and impartial mediator. He is capable of seeing the case from different perspectives and helping each side assess the strength and weaknesses of their case to arrive at resolution that makes sense for everyone.

Great Mediator!

Frank has mediated a number of personal injury cases for me. He does a great job getting the most money for the plaintiffs that he can, while being honest with both sides about the pluses and minuses of their cases. Frank is always the top of my list of potential mediators.

Reliable & Trustworthy Lawyer

Frank Hoover is a reliable and trustworthy attorney. He acted as a mediator for a car accident I was involved in. This mediation was extremely important to me because my injuries will be with me indefinitely and I wanted to be compensated accordingly. I feel Frank Hoover is an excellent lawyer.... He exemplified a non-biased opinion and reported to each side promptly and without persuasion. I initially worried I would not be happy with the outcome of the deposition and wanted to go to trial but was surprisingly satisfied with the job Frank Hoover did presenting my case to the opposition. He never showed he was impartial to one side rather neutral and fair-minded. I appreciated his dimeanor throughout the deposition because it represented his characteristics- strong qualities as an attorney. I would recommend Frank Hoover to anyone needing legal representation. Knowing someone is honest and reliable is so important when you are trusting them with your personal and sensitive legal issues. Frank Hoover successfully allowed me to have closure to a legal battle lasting several years. I am forever grateful to Frank Hoover for being my voice when I could not speak for myself.
