In April of 2017 my son was involved in an argument with his girlfriend. While they were arguing, she stepped away and tripped. My son tried to break her fall and landed on top of her. She didn’t press charges, but based on the statements of witnesses, the police did charge my son with assault. We met with Peter Hoare who immediately took action on behalf of our son, who was unaware that he was to appear in court the following day. Peter laid out all of the options so that our son could make an informed decision. We found Peter to be action oriented, thorough, efficient, and realistic with an honest sense of humour. Peter is also an excellent communicator. He considers the clients input and keeps you informed as the process unfolds. He is also easily accessible to discuss issues as they arise. Peter was able to find a creative solution, which involved short term private counselling, and resulted in the charges being withdrawn. By year end, just over 6 months later the police file regarding the incident had been cleared of any reference to the matter. ….. We could not have anticipated a better outcome. Peter’s fees were reasonable given the work that was required on his part.. We would not hesitate to recommend Peter Hoare as legal counsel for any matters such as this.

 I highly recommend Peter Hoare of Hoare Claxton. He is an excellent lawyer. As a first time accused, I couldn't appreciate more about his well versed communication. From my initial interaction with Peter, he displayed genuine interest in helping with my case. He listened carefully to my questions and comments and he responded clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at my legal issue. His approach was thorough, supported by a substantial research, which complemented his experience when in court. Evidently his passion for his profession and he will help you, be assured he will fight for you because he loves and knows what he does. Ultimately Peter had the file dismissed by the CrownI highly recommend Michael Mines of Mines & Company Lawyers. He is an excellent lawyer. As a first time being accused for an offence I couldn't appreciate more about his well experienced communication skill that's led me to be understood about the case and felt confidence of his dedication. From my initial interaction with Michael, he displayed genuine interest in helping with my case. He listened carefully to my questions and comments and he responded clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. His approach was thorough, supported by a substantial research, which complemented his experience when in court. Expect good outcome from a lawyer who is realistic, and telling you the situation the way it is, who will be there for you when you need him. Evidently has passion for his profession and he will help you, be assured he will fight for you because he loves and knows what he does. Ultimately Peter had the file closed by the Crown. Thank you so much Mr Hoare!

 I cannot say enough positive things about the team at Hoare Claxton. I chose Peter Hoare to represent me and I am beyond pleased that I did so. After working with another lawyer at different firm for several months to get my case resolved, I realized that I had made a mistake in choosing legal representation. After more research, I met with Peter- only one day after my initial inquiry. Right from the start, Peter jumped into action, all the while re-assuring me that he would make sure we received the best result possible. Peter studied my case tirelessly and found several weaknesses in the Crowns case, he then questioned all these missing parts and asked for more evidence, once the Crown was unable to produce additional information, Peter was able to have my case dismissed. I am more than grateful for this outcome and would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for top legal representation in Alberta.

 Very helpful and professional. Peter and Ryan have gone above and beyond what would be expected. I literally owe them my freedom & would highly recommend their services.

 I have dealt with Peter for the last ten years, he's very upfront and to the point and never sugar coats the facts! He's gotten me out of a few sticky situations, I'll just say my life would be a lot different if it wasn't for him. Thanks for everything Peter !
