Overview
Abigail Hoover is an Ohio trial lawyer who brings a deep commitment to client advocacy and a passion for justice to her practice at Spangenberg Shibley & Liber LLP. Her approach is rooted in understanding each client’s unique situation and tailoring strategies to meet their individual needs.
Driven early in life by her passion for advocacy, Abigail pursued an intentional and accelerated path to the legal profession. She earned her associate degree while still in high school, which allowed her to complete her bachelor’s through The University of Akron’s BA/JD program a year and a half later—all while simultaneously completing her first year of law school.
“I’ve seen firsthand the impact of advocating for people in their most vulnerable moments, and I was fortunate enough to build a path that allowed me to pursue that purpose early on. That same focus and commitment continue to guide my practice every day.”
Prior to joining Spangenberg in August 2024, Abigail gained valuable experience at Lazzaro Luka Law Offices, LLC and at the Clerk of Courts for the Stow Municipal Court. Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, she was proud to return to the Cleveland area after law school to serve the community she calls home.
Abigail has worked on a wide range of complex personal injury cases, including those involving motor vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, dog bites, nursing home neglect, and medical negligence. She remains a steadfast advocate for individuals and families who have been injured or wronged.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to stand with our clients during their most difficult moments and pursue justice on their behalf.”
