About Robert S
Robert S Hoover earned his B.A. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1989 and went on to receive his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School in 1993. His time at John Marshall placed him in a cohort of young lawyers entering practice in the mid-1990s. The combination of a Colorado undergraduate education and a Chicago law degree shaped an early cross-regional perspective on legal practice.
After law school he became involved in professional associations that have guided his practice and professional development. He has been a member of the Illinois Bar Association since 1993 and joined the Colorado Bar Association in 2003. He also belongs to the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association from 2003 onward and is a member of the American Association for Justice. Those memberships reflect sustained engagement with organizations that concentrate on litigation and trial work.
Hoover’s career has included long-term firm affiliation. He works at Sloat, Nicholson & Hoover, P.C., where he has practiced for many years. His role at the firm has involved courtroom work and case preparation. Colleagues describe him as methodical in his file management and steady in litigation settings. His practice rhythm combines client interviews, motion practice and courtroom appearances.
In the courtroom he draws on trial-group networks and state bar resources. Participation in trial lawyer organizations has kept him current on trial techniques, evidence issues and evolving procedural rules. He has practiced in Colorado for years and routinely uses the procedural tools of state civil litigation. He also maintains ties to Midwestern legal circles through his long-standing membership in the Illinois Bar Association.
Clients and opposing counsel alike encounter a lawyer who prefers plain explanations and clear deadlines. He tends to break complex problems into discrete, manageable steps. That approach shapes case strategy, discovery plans and how he prepares witnesses for trial. Outside the courtroom he contributes time to bar committee work and to continuing legal education offerings tied to trial practice.
Robert S Hoover currently practices at Sloat, Nicholson & Hoover, P.C., and concentrates his work on civil trial litigation in Colorado.
