Hoover Krepelka, LLP - San Jose, CA

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Jim Hoover as my family law attorney. I was in an incredibly difficult situation when I first retained him — I had lost custody of my child with a permanent order in place, despite having worked with over a dozen other attorneys and spending well over a quarter of a million dollars trying to fix things. My custody situation seemed impossible, and I felt like I was running out of options. I learned about Jim from a retired judge.Jim is trusted and respected by judges and experts alike, and has a great reputation for getting results. I had heard so many positive things about him, so I decided to give him a try. Jim is a natural and he commands the courtroom. He has a unique balance of being reasonable and diplomatic, but when the situation calls for it, he can be as aggressive as necessary. He listened carefully to my concerns, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that my case was treated with the seriousness it deserved. The outcome of working with Jim was more than what I expected. After everything I’d been through, Jim got me a huge win — I was granted almost 50% of the timeshare with my child. This was a dramatic improvement from where I was when I first came to him, and it completely changed my life. Jim is still my family law attorney and will continue to be my attorney till my child turns 18. If you’re looking for an attorney who is respected, effective, and deeply committed to achieving the best possible outcome for you, I can’t recommend Jim from HK enough. His approach is a perfect balance of professionalism, diplomacy, and fierce advocacy when needed. He truly changed my life, and I’m forever grateful for his dedication and support.

I am very happy that we chose to work with Hoover Krepelka for our mediation. Everyone on staff that we interacted with was professional, courteous, and responsive. Our attorney Elizabeth Voorhees and paralegal Phaedra Lopez were stellar, always quick to move the process along smoothly and answer all our questions. It was a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend Hoover Krepalka for anyone seeking top-notch legal assistance in family law.

I was looking for a legal counselor to help with my divorce case and enlisted Travis’ services through a recommendation, I am so glad that I made this decision! Going through the divorce process and navigating the legal process can be so overwhelming and stressful in the Bay Area, but having Travis as my lawyer truly put me at ease, he is very competent, provided thoughtful advice and practical solution for a full range of real life issues and Family Law matters. He and his team had fought tirelessly for my case. It was an emotionally exhausting case with many complexities involved but their strategic thinking and compassionate advocacy helped me achieve a favorable outcome. Travis and his experienced and compassionate team at Hoover Krepelka helped me successfully navigate the stressful legal process. He was very patient, was there for every step and small detail along the way, and promptly answered all of my questions. I would wholeheartedly recommend his exceptional legal services, and I would definitely go back to him for any future legal service.

My ex began an extra-marital affaire with her colleague and filed for divorce, luckily I was referred to Hoover Krepelka, and retained Travis Krepelka. I have a deep appreciation to the high professionalism along with deep empathy of Hoover Krepelka, especially in CA where such legal system can be quite hard to comprehend for us laymen who are forced to deal with this overwhelming meat grinding machine; on top of that, my ex has a vindictive and aggressive character, after 5 rounds of subpoena from her, and ignoring my 7 global settlement offers, her attorney (who is also a partner of local firm) still pushed to the trial, in which Travis was side by side with me to cope with this ordeal. We had a land slide win in this civil trial!
