David Martin Hopkins

in 2016 I fell into some trouble in Nashville, TN. I am from Portland, Oregon and was stationed at Fort Campbell KY as a 19D Cavalry Scout back in the good ole days. Due to unforeseen drug problems that stemmed from various injuries in the service, I fell head first deep into a black hole that I ne...ver thought would EVER happen to someone like me. I now know, that legal trouble can happen to ANYONE. I met David Hopkins with Middle Tennessee Law in 2016 at the Warren County Detention Center in KY. My charges stemmed from federal theft, to 924(c) (Discharge of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime). I was facing a possible life sentence, to include a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison. David was kind, and thoroughly explained EVERYTHING to me that mattered. In something like this, generally you are scared to death for your life and David was really the only person I had that looked out for me in more than one way. Not only did he answer his calls 95% of the time, which let me tell you from experience is RARE. Most attorneys will see you when they NEED to see you, however with David if I called and needed to see him, he would come see me immediately. Not only did he treat me like a human being, he treated me fairly whether I had money or not. THAT was and is refreshing in an attorney. David Hopkins was the type of attorney that truly cares for his defendants. Matter in fact, he was appointed to me the first time, and when a new indictment came out regarding a 924(C) he actually volunteered to take my case. I fought my cases in detention centers around the country for over 7 years with David Hopkins as my attorney. He is not only my attorney, he is also a deer friend to me for having my back for literally 10 years. If you need a serious, experience HEAVY hitter criminal trial attorney, David Hopkins is your man. I would not choose ANYONE else. -KTH

David was excellent from the start. He informed me of the best and worst case scenarios and gave me his expert advice on how he thought we should approach my case with the best results. I ended up getting the best results in my case and I owe it all to David Hopkin's expert advise and knowledge. H...e listened to my concerns and I am more than pleased with his representation of me and my case and would more than strongly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.

Trouble came knocking on a Saturday afternoon. I was scared and needed advice. But it was Saturday. I used Avvo to locate a lawyer in my area. I selected David based on his breadth of practice and sent a contact request. I figured it would be Tuesday before I received a response, since Monday was the... MLK holiday. My mind was racing and I was preparing to take action on my own. David returned my contact request on a Sunday in the middle of a holiday weekend. We consulted and he put my mind at rest. I now had an expert opinion as to the severity of the issue and what action I needed to take. I am now planning to discuss our entire family's legal needs with David.
