As 2020 has introduced unprecedented challenges for all of us, now is the time to be thankful for all the opportunities we do have. We are truly grateful that Hoover Krepelka, LLP, was able to quickly adapt to this year’s sudden remote and social distanced working conditions while at the same time expanding our roster and resources to accommodate the increased demand for divorces during COVID-19. We have been operating under the mantra, “Tough times don’t last, tough teams do.”

Employee Spotlight

Congratulations to Ben A. House on his promotion to Senior Associate! Ben started his career with HK in 2016 as a Law Clerk when he was President of the Family Law Society at Santa Clara University School of Law. Ben went on to graduate first in his class in 2017 and has been an integral part of our team as a family law attorney ever since. His ability to apply law to the facts at hand and capture his client’s stories in pleadings has been extraordinary. Ben's dedication and professional excellence is noted and celebrated by our entire team. This promotion is well deserved as we applaud not only Ben's intellectual capacity and legal acumen, but also his sense of humor and musical talents! Ben makes it a great day at HK.

On behalf of HK Law Clerk, Diana Han, please be aware that The Vietnamese American Law Students (VALS) along with co-sponsors; Family Law Society, South Asian Law Student Association, Filipino American Law Society, and Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, is holding a fundraiser in collaboration with Asian Women's Home (AWH) for the holidays. AWH serves survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. Due to the pandemic, AWH had to use their reserve for clients who needed extra support to purchase groceries and household items. Unfortunately, that means they no longer have any gift cards to give out to adult clients for the holidays. This fundraiser will help restart AWH funds to provide adult survivors a joyous holiday season this year.
