Why Hoover Krepelka, LLP?
If you are facing a divorce in Santa Clara County and there is real money or there are children involved, Hoover Krepelka is one of the strongest options in the region. They are the largest exclusively family-law firm in Silicon Valley, every named partner is a Certified Family Law Specialist, and they have built a real specialty around the issues tech families actually face — RSU and ISO division, founder equity, deferred compensation, and high-asset community property. Family law is one of the most emotionally costly areas of the law to get wrong. This is a firm that will not rush you through it.
Situations They Handle
What You'll Pay
Hoover Krepelka bills hourly, like virtually all California family law firms. Hourly rates depend on the attorney assigned and the complexity of the matter. Most clients pay an initial retainer that the firm draws against; the firm replenishes the retainer as needed. The first consultation is free. The firm provides a written engagement letter before any work begins.

What Clients Say
“Travis handled my divorce when my ex was hiding RSUs. He understood the equity comp better than my financial advisor and got me a settlement that protected the years I had supported the family while my ex was at the company.”
“Julia got us through a high-conflict custody case without ever making it about scoring points against my ex. The result was the best outcome for our daughter and a workable co-parenting plan.”
“James walked us through a prenup that protected my company stock without making my fiancé feel like a stranger at the table. Calm, clear, and worth every dollar.”
