HARRISBURG, PA (Nov. 13, 2015) – McNees attorney Anthony Hoover assisted in preparing free CLE materials for a pro bono video project produced by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI) in partnership with the PBA and PLAN.  Hoover took part in presenting the “ABC’s of Handling a Child or Spousal Support Case” segment of the videos.

The 10 one-hour free CLE videos offer practical and reliable training for lawyers taking a pro bono case from any legal aid, county bar or other poverty law organization. These videos allow pro bono volunteers to gain valuable insight into a variety of common pro bono matters. The programs focus on areas of practice needed by many pro bono counsel and include the following:

  • Nuts And Bolts Of Handling Your Pro Bono Case
  • Unique Domestic Relations Issues With A Party In The Armed Forces
  • Utility Shut-Off Cases
  • Effectively Handling Your Immigration Client
  • Representing A Party In A Protection From Abuse Case
  • Helping A Client Expunge A Criminal Record
  • Representing The Tenant In Landlord Disputes
  • How To Handle A Custody And Visitation Case
  • Representing A Client With Consumer Credit Problems
  • ABC’s Of Handling A Child Or Spousal Support Case

The videos, along with extensive written materials, are available now at www.pbi.org. They represent the three foundations of any successful pro bono effort – the hard work and expertise of legal aid professionals, support of the organized Bar and the volunteer efforts of practicing lawyers.

Hoover presented with Susan E. Good, Esquire and Rhodia D. Thomas, Esquire. The video will provide valuable information on how to calculate income, deductions, earning capacity, and how to use the Guidelines, as well as offering tips on enforcement of support orders.

Hoover is an associate attorney in the Family Law Practice Group at McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, and practices in the area of divorce, support, child custody, property distribution, and alimony.  Anthony is active in the Central Pennsylvania legal community. He has presented on Family Law issues to the Dauphin County Bar Association and was a Law Day presenter with the Cumberland County Bar Association and the Family Law Section of the Pennsylvania Bar Association.

Hoover received his J.D. from Widener University School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Georgia Institute of Technology.  He is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and before the United States District Courts for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
