Best attorney around

I had some medical issues and was in a car accident due to that. He worked very hard on getting my medical records to who they needed to go to. Aaron and his staff were always very helpful when I had any questions. Very good person and attorney all around.

Aggressive in Child Custody Matters

Aaron was successful in winning my family law case both times I retained him. He knows the law and is prepared, professional and articulate in the courtroom. He is able to find the legal weaknesses in the opposing party's case and exploit that weakness in order to uphold the law. I wouldn't hesita...te to hire him again.

Excellent

I used Aaron for my divorce and custody case. Aaron addresses the most important issues related to the case and leaves the drama out of it. Aaron is very professional and is well respected by the community by keeping a level head and calm demeanor. I thought I had all the facts I needed , but Aar...on’s expertise found information that led my opponent to testify with discrepancies. I would recommend Aaron Hopkins to represent them regarding any legal matter. He is not just “one” of the best. He is the best.

good attorney, nice guy

I used Aaron for a child custody matter and I was happy with him. My ex wanted to take our two girls five hours away over state lines and he kept that from happening. I now have primary custody of them. This is what the girls wanted, too. He works hard and seems to have empathy. Doesn't just wan...t your money. I would use him again. He met with me on Sundays when I didn't have to work and I thought that was very nice.

  • 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.
