Profile of Gregory Scott Hoover
Mr. Hoover was born in Santa Monica, California in 1970. Being raised by the family of a
very well respected police officer and police chief in Whittier, California, Mr. Hoover was
exposed at an early age to the legal system in the United States. Mr. Hoover chose at the
early age of 16 that he wanted to be an attorney. In 1989, beginning with his studies of
English and History at the University of California, Mr. Hoover was trained in how to use
the English language to effectively persuade others to his point of view. After graduating
from the University of California in 1993, Mr. Hoover was admitted to study law at the
University of Detroit Mercy, in Detroit Michigan. There, under a strict Jesuit studying
regime, is where Mr. Hoover began to tailor his talents in persuasion and effective personal
skills in the practice of law. In the last semester of his third year of law school, Mr.
Hoover was privileged to be invited to study in the university’s London Law Program at the
Maria Assumpta Educational Centre in London, England. In this program, Mr. Hoover was exposed
to international cultures and studied international and comparative law. It was an experience,
as he says, "that forever changed my perspective on people and introduced me to the beauty
of diversity that exists in our world today." After graduating from law school in 1996, Mr.
Hoover made the move to the Pacific Northwest where he then opened up his law firm in 1998.
In 2006, Mr. Hoover graduated, yet again, from the University Of Washington School Of Law
with the legume mastare (LL.M. or Master’s of Law) degree in taxation. As he is often known
for saying, "The LL.M. degree in taxation was the most practical and useful legal education
I ever received." In 2008, Mr. Hoover became a licensed solicitor in England and Wales. With
this extensive background and education, Mr. Hoover, through his firm of Gregory Scott Hoover
P.L.L.C., is still successfully representing people in the Pacific Northwest in litigation
matters and other business transactions. Mr. Hoover is also asked to speak at seminars from
time to time on his experiences in the practice of law and on the areas in which he practices.
He is a member of numerous bar associations including the American Bar Association, the
Washington State Association of Justice, the Latino Bar Association of Washington, the Asian
Bar Association of Washington, NAPABA, the U.S. Tax Court, all federal courts in both states,
the Ninth Circuit and the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court. Mr. Hoover was also the 2010 candidate
for the Democratic Party for State Representative in the 5th Legislative District. Mr. Hoover
currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.
