Edward Hovatter Honored for Excellence in Business and Commercial Law

    CHERRY HILL, NJ, March 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Edward Hovatter, managing partner of Hovatter Friedman Stofman & Levi, P.C., has been recognized for dedication, leadership and excellence in law.

Over 25 years, Mr. Hovatter has built a reputation as a well-rounded, energetic business attorney, helping clients in the Philadelphia region make deals and solve problems. He has had diverse experience in private practice and as corporate counsel for well-known companies on both sides of the Delaware River. Mr. Hovatter specializes in business and commercial transactions, residential, commercial and industrial real estate issues, business disputes, and complex commercial litigation. He is extremely well-networked in the Philadelphia region business community, and excels at connecting his clients with the experts and resources they need. "My job is to solve my client's business problems, whatever it takes," Mr. Hovatter said.

Mr. Hovatter is the quintessential self-made man. He is the first member of his family to become a lawyer. He was raised by a single mother and put himself through college and law school. Mr. Hovatter pursued law in order to make a better life for himself and his family ... and to use his determination and legal expertise to help others succeed.

With a different vision for how he felt law should be practiced, Mr. Hovatter started his own law firm with three other partners who shared the same vision. "Hovatter Friedman Stofman & Levi was built on the premise that in order to do right -- to deliver legal services the way they should be delivered for today's clients --we needed to offer real, definable value ... and look at our clients as partners and not billable hours," Mr. Hovatter said. "We get that our clients have real business needs. We understand the demands and pace of their business. That's why we respond quickly and get to the heart of the problem. That's why we offer market-based fees, and a pre-paid retainer program, that give our clients budget predictability."

Along with its client-centered focus, the firm will kick off a give-back program in 2015, donating a portion of its fees to a number of charities, including the American Heart Association, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Wounded Warrior Project, Inc., and several local charities.

Mr. Hovatter completed a law degree at Temple University Beasley School of Law and was recently inducted into Worldwide Registry. Professionally, he is affiliated with the Burlington County Bar Association, Camden County Bar Association and the Cherry Hill Chamber of Commerce. He has served as member of the board of trustees for Moorestown Friends School for 10 years.

Hovatter Friedman Stofman & Levi was started as a boutique in June 2014, but has already grown by 40 percent. Mr. Hovatter intends to grow the firm into a full-service legal home for entrepreneurs and business clients. "We have big plans," he said, "but we've already made a market impact."
