Brilliant Attorney

Aaron Hopkins is a down to earth person who explains things well and is excellent as a lawyer. I highly recommend him. He stood by me till the end. I would highly recomend him. Brilliant.

Best choice I made!

My case was given the best result I could've possibly had given the circumstances. When it's your life and you aren't aware of laws and actions that can affect your future Aaron was always there for me. Even when I became erratic in my own mind and worst case scenarios, they never came true. Trust t...he process and him as your attorney. He is busy because people trust him to do the best job. As of a few hours ago I have my result and feel so relieved to be free of the situation. Thank you Aaron and his team for helping me through this and making it to the other side. It's okay to have meltdowns as it's your life. What matters is whom you have the melt downs with!

Great attorney

I have had Aaron as my lawyer for the past 8 years and he has done amazing! From starting out as a family case all the way to adoption case. He has been there when I've had questions, explains very well, and has been a blessing for my family I highly recommend him!

Reassurance

Aaron and his team are the best! I would highly recommend him to anyone! He assured me from day 1, that everything would be ok, and trust me I was prob the worst client, constantly texting, calling everything just to get that reassurance…..but I always got it! Didn’t matter how many times I texted, ...he always would reassure me things were gonna be ok. He knows his sh**! I would not think twice about hiring him if need be again! I will always owe him for what he done for my family and I. Just trust me and go with the best….AARON HOPKINS!

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.
