Hired Law Firm

Choosing a good family law attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. That is why I chose Hoover Krepelka. I was fortunate to be assigned to Monica Nemec to assist me with a custody issue. Her performance completely met and exceeded my expectations. Monica is an extremely knowledgeable and competent attorney. She was attentive, responsive, and compassionate during the entire process, which eased the anxiety I had about my case. When it came to our conversation, Monica was forthright and honest. She guided me through the various choices I had and crafted an offer that, in the end, was satisfactory to both parties. Throughout my experience, from the initial phone call through the signing of our custody agreement, I felt well taken care of and I was confident that the best interests of my son were always at the forefront of the case. Monica Nemec and the Hoover Krepelka team are the best family law lawyers I know, and I highly recommend them.

I worked with Jim on my high conflict divorce case. Jim is a very sharp, professional, ethical, honest and caring attorney. He doesn't get intimidated by the opposing counsel/counsels and always has his evidence organized and well presented to the judge. He won many issues on my case and brought back the peace I lost for a few years. I highly recommend this firm.

 
Restraining Orders

Mr. Hoover was referred to me to help my daughter that was in a city over 450 miles away (San Diego). My Daughter, with local help, tried to serve a person that was stalking and had stolen from her. As soon as I contacted Hoover's office, I had a quick, reassuring conversation on what their plan was to serve and pursue charges in court. The person was successfully served almost immediately and all paperwork correctly processed ...without any work from me. Very satisfied.

I have been a practicing litigator for over 20 years. I used Jim Hoover and the Krepelka law firm in connection with my divorce. Jim and his staff’s knowledge of family law is unequalled, and the quality of their paperwork, client management, and oral advocacy are stellar. Jim is practical, knowledgeable, creative, and aggressive when necessary. My case included the gamut of family law issues and they were all expertly handled.

Julia was an expert guide through my mediated divorce. I always felt heard and empowered to self-advocate after our conversations. When my ex and I came to an impasse, Julia was able to reach agreements when negotiations had stalled. Julia was extremely responsive, available, and knowledgeable; she asked thoughtful questions to understand my situation and offered advice informed by her litigation experience and expertise to keep me out of court. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Julia was recommended by one of my friend. Choosing her was the best thing I did for my divorce. Julia has a great work ethic, and great personality. She was very proactive during my 2- year divorce. she always answered my email/concerns very quickly. She advise me on what to do when I was stuck. She is concise and explain well everything you need to know. She is a great negotiator and because of that the resolution of my divorce was good even though my situation (a prenuptial agreement) did not favor a good outcome for me.

 
Domestic Violence

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from James Hoover on the domestic violence restraining order defense. It's a very challenge case, since the other party was well-prepared and got two aggressive attorneys behind her. James is extremely professional, very knowledgeable in the family laws and also very caring. He used his incredible expertise and best-organized evidences to win the case and get the DVTRO request denied by the court. He saved my life and got my children back. I highly recommend James Hoover to you.

 
Child Support

I have received consultation services from James Hoover a few times over the last several years. My son's mother likes to rattle the cage from time to time and not let a functional Marriage Settlement Agreement stand for too long. James, and his knowledge of the law and what I can and cannot expect with regards to outcomes moving forward, has been an indispensable resource in these times. Whether or not I am happy with the result of the information provided I am always left with a clear path forward. To boot, if in consultation he doesn't feel anything can be added by hiring him he actually recommends against it. Always working in the favor of the client. Thank you Jim!

I hired Jim for my divorce and it was the best choice I could have possibly made. He is truly a genuine, honest, and good person and that is evident in every aspect of his work. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything that was going on and that I was satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a good attorney.

I was extremely satisfied by Jim's services. He was easy to deal with, punctual, very knowledgeable and ultimately able to deliver on each issue we addressed. He knows the law and had the decency to walk me through it, carefully ensuring I knew what was going on each step of the way. I will absolutely go back to Jim in the future and I recommend him fully.
