Testimonials
“Mr. Hooper, my mom and I would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication involved in her legal matters. You are a great person and will never be forgotten!!
Sonia and Maria
“Rob Hooper was so good that I would never use any other lawyer ever again. At the initial consultation he made me feel very comfortable and understood – I didn’t feel like I was talking to a lawyer in a suit. I could write you a full page on him, he’s awesome. I’ve actually referred him to a lot of other people too”.
Edie Willigar
“Rob was extremely helpful and definitely went the extra mile to help me out. Rob and his staff were very compassionate towards my situation and took the load off my shoulders. He helped me get through the whole case – it was my first mediation and with Rob it was really easy. The whole process from beginning to end was very smooth and very stress-free. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you, Rob!”

“Rob was fantastic and very approachable. He kept me well informed and moved things along quickly. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to other people. He did a good job standing up for my rights. It made me feel good knowing I could go to him any time”.
Lynda Van Fleet
“Rob was great. I initially had another lawyer who was totally unavailable and left me floundering. I fired that lawyer and met with Rob, and the difference was incredible. In the years that he handled my case, I couldn’t believe the availability – he came to my home in Dunnville if that was more convenient for me, he was really accommodating and sympathetic to my situation.
I was so impressed with him that my girlfriend fired her lawyer and came to Rob too. She had a brain injury, so it was great to know she was safe and in good hands when I couldn’t be there.
It’s rare to find a lawyer with that kind of honesty and integrity. He’s a good guy and he’ll fight for you all the way. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Choosing the right lawyer is the most important decision you can make. If you don’t like your lawyer, you have the right to switch – and you’ll never regret choosing Rob Hooper.”
Sherri Fredericks
“He’s the greatest guy I’ve ever met. When Rob was working with me he fought for me, literally. He was very thorough in everything he did. He made me feel comfortable and I would recommend him to my friends. Overall he was a very, very nice man.”
Bogdan Przednowek
"When I went to Rob to help me out with my car accident, he became more of a friend. I was frustrated with therapy and on the verge of depression, and he totally made me feel comfortable. He made me feel really important, like I was top priority.
Going through mediation he was very well prepared. I had complete confidence in him, and he made me feel confident in myself too. Above all, having had experiences with lawyers, I had a really good sense of his integrity. He’s very approachable with a good sense of humour. I’ve recommended him to my friends and family.”
Thomas Zimmer
“Rob took care of all my problems very quickly and was great in all my dealings with him. I felt like I could come to him if anything went wrong – he’s very down to earth, very approachable and friendly. I felt good about the way my case turned out and have recommended Rob to my friends.”
Vicki Tournay
“Rob was exceptional. When we spoke with him, he really made us feel number one. Any time we came to see him he made us feel so welcome. He understood all of our needs and he worked so hard on our case it was unbelievable. He was able to settle our case pretty fast. If we knew someone else who needed a lawyer, he would be the first guy we’d recommend.”
Jim and Dawn
East Hamilton
“Good Morning Rob, I received the money yesterday for the settlement. I want to thank you for your help in getting it settled. I appreciate it very much. Mr. Farant just wanted to drop it cause he said he couldn't get them to come to a settlement. I am so glad David directed us to you. You have been amazing. Thanks again.”
TB
From a thank you letter sent to Rob Hooper
“I would like to convey a heartfelt thank-you to you and your staff. Both Sandra and I appreciated your guidance and support over the last four years. I knew we were in good hands since our first meeting in May 2003.”
