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!

Highly Recommend!

Aaron did an amazing job handling my case. He was very professional. He kept me notified of a changes, and gave me frequent updates. He and his office staff answered any questions I had, and I am thrilled with the outcome.

Excellent Attorney!

Mr. Hopkins was very professional when he helped us. He is very knowledgeable, empathetic, responded to any questions, anxieties or insecurities we had about the court processes and what to expect. We were confident in all of our dealings with him. We appreciate all that he's done for us and gladly... refer anyone that needs assistance to him.

Hands down the best Lawyer and staff in southern Illinois

Aaron Hopkins was a beacon of hope to my family and I at a time when our options appeared extremely limited and the likelihood of a positive resolution seemed almost impossible. Not only was he able to win my case his calm, professional, and supportive demeanor In one of the hardest times of our live...s was of the most reassurance. His staff were excellent at answering my question and always calling or texting back in a very timely manner. Forever thankful to him and his staff for all their help, I would recommend Mr. Hopkins to anyone seeing legal counsel.

A great attourney that you can count on

Hopkins Law is a fantastic group. I had never contacted an attorney before I called Mr. Hopkins' office and setup my first appointment. His staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable. Mr. Hopkins (Aaron) was very easy to get to know and after the first phone call with him I felt extremely comfortable ...and in great hands. He and his staff explained everything in a manner easily understood and kept me on track doing what I needed to do to help get things done. There was never any wasted time or unnecessary phone calls or meetings. He and his staff used their time very wisely on my case. When I needed to contact Aaron or his staff, they were there every time. If you ever need the services of an attorney, I highly recommend you contact Hopkins Law!

  • 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.
