Unethical, Unprofessional, Do Not Hire

I hired Popkins after a traffic incident in Onslow Co. while stationed at Camp Lejeune. At first he seemed eager and very easy to work with. I paid him in full to handle the case. Prior to our actual trial date I received military orders to Iraq. I spoke with him about my deployment and my case mult...iple times and was told I would not have to appear in court that he would have it all handled. After completing my deployment I found out years later that nothing had been handled and I had a registration block. I've tried contacting him multiple times over this and am ignored. However, because he took my money and assigned himself to the case it can not move forward without him. He should be disbarred and incarcerated.

This attorney took care of my ticket even before the court date.

I took my ticket to his office and he told me exactly what he could do and quoted me what I felt like was a fair fee for his service. He con't my case one time so I could finish paying and then took care of the case before the next court date. Upon finishing my case I recieved I letter from him telli...ng me the outcome. Mr Popkin has a large yellow ribben on his door that says " I support our troops". I believe he does. I would recommend this attorney to all my fellow Marines.

Gets over on Military

I hired Mr. Popkins after receiving a felony speeding/eluding charge in Onslow Co. while stationed at Camp Lejeune. At first he seemed eager and very easy to work with and even set me up on a payment plan which is a great asset in today's economy. Prior to our actual trial date I received military or...ders to Okinawa, Japan for my next duty station. I spoke with him about this transition numerous times and was assured I could carry out my orders and I would not have to appear in court that he would have it all handled. After completing my deployment I returned to find out that nothing had been handled. A warrant was out for my arrest and my licenese suspended. Upon trying to contact him he wouldnt speak with me and now 6 years later I have to travel to NC to turn myself in and try to get all of this behind me.
