CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I needed a lawyer in a hurry for a family member. Sent an email to Chris around 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night and he responded to me shortly after. It was a total shock to get that quick of a response that late on a Friday night. Chris jumped right on the problem I had that night and took control from there to the end. After months of waiting, Chris was able to have the entire case thrown out of court. The only bad thing was that I didn’t get to see him in action in the courtroom. I am sure he would have torn them apart. I am so glad I had reached out to Chris early on and very thankful for the quick response and end result. I hope I never have to contact a lawyer again, but if I do, I know who I am calling.”

“My personal experience with Christian Hoey was absolutely phenomenal. Christian was aggressive, attentive, honest, easily accessible, and always put his clients first. During my stressful time, Chris made everything very organized, easy and was very supportive during my entire process. If I can give Chris a rating from 1-10, my rating would be 11. I have never had full confidence like I had with Chris and he exceeded my expectations.”
***** Facebook Review- D. DeGrasse
“Chris Hoey has been very professional and direct with our family on this journey that we never thought we would find ourselves on. I believe he generally cares about each client and their families. He produced, through hard work, intelligence, resourcefulness, and research, a very positive outcome. He is top notch. We had 2 disappointing experiences before we found Chris Hoey and we are so very blessed that we found him. Can’t say enough about his skills and personality and ability to get the job done successfully.”
***** Facebook Review- M. Kindt
“Professional, honest, upfront. Chris will tell you what is really going on. When you believe that the prosecutor and detectives are stacking the deck against you, Chris doesn’t care. He speaks to you like an adult that is educated but not with a law degree. I could not recommend him anymore.”

“Best lawyer around. I wouldn’t go to court without him.”
