The absolute best!

Mr. Hopkins went above and beyond for my DUI case. From the very first meeting he was very helpful, informative and thorough about what each and every possible outcome could be as well as thoroughly explaining every option I could take. He kept in touch the entirety of my case, always keeping me upda...ted on what’s going on and letting me know immediately of any changes. After months of working with Mr. Hopkins, dealing with my multiple charges, I received the BEST possible outcome for my entire case and I am beyond happy with my results. In addition to Mr. Hopkins being nothing short of amazing, his secretary, Sue, deserve as mention as well because she is the sweetest and most helpful woman who has had to deal with my obnoxious amount of phone calls throughout the course of my case and was always such a joy to speak with. If you’re ever in legal trouble, Mr. Hopkins is the man to call! Best decision i’ve ever made. Thank you again for what you’ve done for me! I will recommend you everytime!

Great Attorney

Mike repersented me twice. He was great, he came to the jail and spoke to me three times in like nine days the first time. There were people in there for months that haven't heard from there attorneys since they paid them. I was always the first one called to speak to my attorney when most people's d...idn't even show. Mike took his time explained everything to me nice and slow then actually listened to my questions and concerns.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
