To become a client and obtain legal representation from Hoover Slovacek, you must first communicate with a Hoover Slovacek attorney and then enter into an engagement agreement, if offered by Hoover Slovacek.   Whether you are a new or existing client, Hoover Slovacek cannot represent you on a new matter until it determines that there is no conflict of interest which limits such representation and Hoover Slovacek is willing and able to accept such new engagement in writing with you.
