Pat B

I am SO GLAD that i ended up with Aaron as my lawyer. I contacted several other attorneys and they never responded to my calls. I did speak with one other attorney who was retiring at the time and he referred me to Aaron...what a LUCKY day for me! Aaron has done a fantastic job for me. Ginger at ...the office always returns my calls promptly and ALWAYS has the answers to my questions. It has been a true delight to work with Aaron and Ginger who have both been very professional.

Custody and Adoption

We hired Mr. Hopkins during our consultation. He instantly took away the level of fear that we as grandparents was living with. Our granddaughter had been with us a year. We left his office with custody and order of protection being drawn up that day. He is very straight forward, compassionate, and ...the right dose of calm you will need when severe family differences are involved. Half way through custody changed to adoption with success being the outcome Everything he said he did and it turned out like he said it would. Forever grateful to Mr. Hopkins and his staff.

Family Law

We hired Mr.. Hopkins for a family case. He was very professional and caring about our situation and was able to bring a legal and absolute end to a family law issue well before previously predicted dates, and in a manner that benefited all parties. We will be forever grateful for his expe...rtise.

Great law firm

Aaron helped us and our son be able to get his visitation rights expanded with his daughter and us to be able to see her also. His ex was withholding his visitation and always had an excuse for the missed visits. Aaron was always easy to contact and to return calls.

The Mariano Rivera of Attorney’s

Aaron came in half way through my family case. He utilized the important pieces of the case to bring it to a successful finale. Afterwards, Aaron continued to answer questions and provide support for me. He is allways available when you get into a bind.

  • 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.
