Hoover Krepelka, LLP is taking time to extend our gratitude to our team and to applaud some key, local organizations that serve the community with supplemental assistance for domestic violence related matters.

On October 15th, we returned to Arata’s Pumpkin Farm for our annual HK pumpkin patch outing! A fun HK tradition, we gathered the whole team on a party bus and headed to Half Moon Bay. From picking and carving pumpkins to racing through the Hay Bale Maze, a great time was had by all. This team not only works hard, but they also play hard. As most of us have been working remotely, gatherings like this trip give our team the opportunity to reconnect with each other. We even managed to slip in a surprise birthday celebration for Jim Hoover – Happy Birthday Jim! Thank you to the organizers, Michelle Casillas and Gabby Benitez, for making it another great day at HK!

Have you met Wenjia Ma?

She expanded her expertise at a civil litigation firm as well as legal departments within the medical field, and later earned her admissions in California and Maryland. As an HK Associate Attorney, Wenjia has already made a positive impact on the team, and she has been instrumental in bringing in several new complex cases to the firm. In addition to connecting with clients in Mandarin, her broad legal experience and willingness to work hard make her a fierce and compassionate advocate.
