Former client

Aaron and all his office workers made themselves available to me throughout the divorce. I would highly recommend him as he was professional, while guiding me thru the process.

Divorce and Custody Case

I could not have asked for a more supportive, thorough and professional experience during a very difficult divorce and custody battle. If you are searching for a family law attorney, Aaron is undoubtedly the best in Southern Illinois. Throughout my experience from initial phone call through the final... day in court, I felt well taken care of and I was confident the best interest of my children was always at the forefront of the case. I am eternally grateful for not only the legal expertise, but the care of my family and always being available for me when needed. Aaron is not only an experienced attorney but is an experienced father and understands the struggles his clients are facing on both sides of the courtroom. I got sole custody of my children and will forever be grateful for his professionalism and expertise.

Divorce/Custody

Aaron and all of his staff was easy to get along with. He answered all of my questions pretty quick. He got my divorce finalized and full custody of my child. I highly recommend him if you ever need a lawyer. Overall he is a great guy to work with.

DIVORCE ATTORNEY

iMr. Hopkins is a great divorce attorney. I would recommend him to anyone who is filing for divorce. He is very easy to talk to and makes sure you are that you get what is rightfully yours.

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.
