Posted by Bonnie | January 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I got the ticket!

Yay Mike! We won! I love this guy. He is easy to talk to, wonderful to work with, and really knows what he's doing. I was involved in a crash and given the ticket. I felt the accident was unavoidable and that I shouldn't had been issued a ticket putting me at fault. Mike handled my case very professi...onally represented me in court, plead not guilty, and won. No need to be nervous with this guy in your corner. I felt very comfortable and that he really cared about doing his very best. You need to meet with Mike Hopkins before you go to court with your ticket. Thanks Bonnie S.

Incredibly well informed

Mike helped me maneuver my way out of a contract that made me feel owned in a way. As a professional boxer, the business is full of sharks ready to chop you down for a dollar. So it was very securing to me that he genuinely had and has my best interests in mind. If I need any sort of legal advice, he...’d be the first to be contacted without question. Very impressed, I’d give ten stars if I could.

An Awesome Mentor

Mike represented me for my first alleged traffic violation, which I get to call “alleged” thanks entirely to Mike’s attention to detail and passion for his work. Throughout my formative years Mike has been a trusted mentor and a friend, who has imprinted upon my mind the value of harnessing BOTH in...tellect and integrity in my personal and professional life.

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.
