I would not recommend

I retained this law firm and regret it. They are not very responsive, the office staff generally unhelpful. There was a lack in strategy and communication which drew things out and would up my bill. There was a lack of follow through. 7,000 later I ended up hiring a different lawyer and my case was ...resolved within two weeks for less than 1,000. I am really disappointed in my experience and I hope no one else ever has to experience this. I do not recommend. This was for straightforward change after a divorce judgement.

Greg Gardner Review of M. Southwick

I have known Michelle since 2008 and rely completely on her advice and counsel; she has never steered me wrong. My situation was a divorce and property settlement and Michelle was simply superb. She handled the situation with intelligence and sensitivity and brought the case to a completely satisfa...ctory conclusion. I recommend Michelle wholeheartedly; she is terrific.

Family lawyer | Feb 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently spent over a year and a half litigating the other side of a case with Michelle Hopkins. I can attest that she puts up a significant fight for her client. Throughout the arduous process associated with family law cases, Ms. Hopkins and her office staff could not have been more professional, patient and courteous to me. I can only imagine they are the same way with their clients. Despite her success against my client, I look forward to the next time we spar."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
