Lydia is wonderful to work with. She walked me through what was happening every step of the way and ensured I understood. I appreciated how easy she was to talk to, her compassionate demeanor, and how knowledgeable she is. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. She was quick, helpful, and professional.

I was recommended to Foster Hsu after spending months with another law firm attempting mediation for my divorce. I'm very glad I called them. I'm very happy with the very personal level of care and consideration my case was given. Lydia was as very strong advocate for me, and was very realistic when presenting different scenarios when I had hard decisions to make. Lillian, the Office Manager/Legal Assistant, was always very helpful and attentive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this Firm based on the level of professionalism, and care they provide for their clients.

I was going through a painful and confusing divorce and had several prior attorneys who I did not feel understood my situation. Once I met with Lydia, I knew I found the right attorney for me. Lydia provided knowledge and attention to my case and developed a case strategy that ultimately resolve my matter without the need for spending unnecessary attorney fees. If you are looking for a strong and compassionate advocate, I highly recommend Lydia.

I’ve used the legal services of Hoover Krepelka, LLP (HK) twice…once for a divorce in the mid-2000s and once, this year, to enforce the stipulation responsibilities of the divorcee. Both times, HK’s service was extremely professional, timely, caring, and fair; I was completely satisfied and pleased with each outcome. Jim Hoover represented me in the divorce; Jim and Lydia Hsu were my representatives in the stipulation enforcement. Both are exceptional attorneys—compassionate, careful listeners; experts in family law; respectful of clients (both plaintiffs and defendants); respected by their peers and the judicial community (…I observed such while attending a court hearing with Jim…); and very persistent (…Lydia ensured, by phone, email, and written communication, that the unrepresented defendant satisfied her promises and responsibilities as quickly as possible…). They are complemented by a highly competent team of office members who kept me apprised of meetings and finances and who answered all my logistical questions. If I need family law-related services in the future, I will seek HK’s guidance without question.

This review is intended to be useful not spiteful and to serve a cautionary experience for those who are in a vulnerable position due to dissolution. Lydia was assigned to my case (2 years) and never could take the necessary time to reply to my questions. She was always too busy, in trial, or disconnected. When you are new to this arena, your best asset is your attorney who should be there with support and legal advice. Unfortunately, Lydia's personal life was more important and was prioritized over the fiduciary duty to her clients. Her style at first seemed authoritative and professional, but underlying the facade was a demeaning way of communicating. She conducted herself with arrogant authority that actually resulted in poor judgment in two instances and cost me loss of spousal support for several months. Her follow through was abysmal, and I almost missed a critical deadline that would have cost me >$1M in support because she didn't have a strong understanding of all aspects of family law code and the timing of what needed to be filed. Yet she commanded me, literally, to meet unrealistic deadlines (which I never missed) then upon receipt asked opposing counsel for a one-month extension as a "professional courtesy" because she was too busy to process my case. Look elsewhere.

I’ve used the legal services of Hoover Krepelka, LLP (HK) twice…once for a divorce in the mid-2000s and once, this year, to enforce the stipulation responsibilities of the divorcee. Both times, HK’s service was extremely professional, timely, caring, and fair; I was completely satisfied and pleased with each outcome. Jim Hoover represented me in the divorce; Jim and Lydia Hsu were my representatives in the stipulation enforcement. Both are exceptional attorneys—compassionate, careful listeners; experts in family law; respectful of clients (both plaintiffs and defendants); respected by their peers and the judicial community (…I observed such while attending a court hearing with Jim…); and very persistent (…Lydia ensured, by phone, email, and written communication, that the unrepresented defendant satisfied her promises and responsibilities as quickly as possible…). They are complemented by a highly competent team of office members who kept me apprised of meetings and finances and who answered all my logistical questions. If I need family law-related services in the future, I will seek HK’s guidance without question.

This review is intended to be useful not spiteful and to serve a cautionary experience for those who are in a vulnerable position due to dissolution. Lydia was assigned to my case (2 years) and never could take the necessary time to reply to my questions. She was always too busy, in trial, or disconnected. When you are new to this arena, your best asset is your attorney who should be there with support and legal advice. Unfortunately, Lydia's personal life was more important and was prioritized over the fiduciary duty to her clients. Her style at first seemed authoritative and professional, but underlying the facade was a demeaning way of communicating. She conducted herself with arrogant authority that actually resulted in poor judgment in two instances and cost me loss of spousal support for several months. Her follow through was abysmal, and I almost missed a critical deadline that would have cost me >$1M in support because she didn't have a strong understanding of all aspects of family law code and the timing of what needed to be filed. Yet she commanded me, literally, to meet unrealistic deadlines (which I never missed) then upon receipt asked opposing counsel for a one-month extension as a "professional courtesy" because she was too busy to process my case. Look elsewhere.

Lydia is wonderful to work with. She walked me through what was happening every step of the way and ensured I understood. I appreciated how easy she was to talk to, her compassionate demeanor, and how knowledgeable she is. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. She was quick, helpful, and professional.

I was recommended to Foster Hsu after spending months with another law firm attempting mediation for my divorce. I'm very glad I called them. I'm very happy with the very personal level of care and consideration my case was given. Lydia was as very strong advocate for me, and was very realistic when presenting different scenarios when I had hard decisions to make. Lillian, the Office Manager/Legal Assistant, was always very helpful and attentive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this Firm based on the level of professionalism, and care they provide for their clients.

I was going through a painful and confusing divorce and had several prior attorneys who I did not feel understood my situation. Once I met with Lydia, I knew I found the right attorney for me. Lydia provided knowledge and attention to my case and developed a case strategy that ultimately resolve my matter without the need for spending unnecessary attorney fees. If you are looking for a strong and compassionate advocate, I highly recommend Lydia.

She conducted herself with arrogant authority that actually resulted in poor judgment in two instances and cost me loss of spousal support for several months. Her follow through was abysmal, and I almost missed a critical deadline that would have cost me >$1M in support because she didn't have a strong understanding of all aspects of family law code and the timing of what needed to be filed. Yet she commanded me, literally, to meet unrealistic deadlines (which I never missed) then upon receipt asked opposing counsel for a one-month extension as a "professional courtesy" because she was too busy to process my case. Look elsewhere.

Lydia is wonderful to work with. She walked me through what was happening every step of the way and ensured I understood. I appreciated how easy she was to talk to, her compassionate demeanor, and how knowledgeable she is. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney. She was quick, helpful, and professional.

I was recommended to Foster Hsu after spending months with another law firm attempting mediation for my divorce. I'm very glad I called them. I'm very happy with the very personal level of care and consideration my case was given. Lydia was as very strong advocate for me, and was very realistic when presenting different scenarios when I had hard decisions to make. Lillian, the Office Manager/Legal Assistant, was always very helpful and attentive to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this Firm based on the level of professionalism, and care they provide for their clients.

I was going through a painful and confusing divorce and had several prior attorneys who I did not feel understood my situation. Once I met with Lydia, I knew I found the right attorney for me. Lydia provided knowledge and attention to my case and developed a case strategy that ultimately resolve my matter without the need for spending unnecessary attorney fees. If you are looking for a strong and compassionate advocate, I highly recommend Lydia.

I’ve used the legal services of Hoover Krepelka, LLP (HK) twice…once for a divorce in the mid-2000s and once, this year, to enforce the stipulation responsibilities of the divorcee. Both times, HK’s service was extremely professional, timely, caring, and fair; I was completely satisfied and pleased with each outcome. Jim Hoover represented me in the divorce; Jim and Lydia Hsu were my representatives in the stipulation enforcement. Both are exceptional attorneys—compassionate, careful listeners; experts in family law; respectful of clients (both plaintiffs and defendants); respected by their peers and the judicial community (…I observed such while attending a court hearing with Jim…); and very persistent (…Lydia ensured, by phone, email, and written communication, that the unrepresented defendant satisfied her promises and responsibilities as quickly as possible…). They are complemented by a highly competent team of office members who kept me apprised of meetings and finances and who answered all my logistical questions. If I need family law-related services in the future, I will seek HK’s guidance without question.

This review is intended to be useful not spiteful and to serve a cautionary experience for those who are in a vulnerable position due to dissolution. Lydia was assigned to my case (2 years) and never could take the necessary time to reply to my questions. She was always too busy, in trial, or disconnected. When you are new to this arena, your best asset is your attorney who should be there with support and legal advice.
