Thank You

Attorney Hopkins and his staff are definitely a dream team! Due to my circumstances of not being from the area and other prejudices involved. Mr. Hopkins defended me to his best ability. Through Aaron’s phenomenal defense attorney skills. I was able to get a bond and get multiple felonies down to a ...misdemeanor. If you are looking for an attorney whom is attentive, professional, assertive and knowledgeable. This is the man with the plan.

I am so glad Mr. Aaron Hopkins was my sons defense attorney

As a mother who found her son needing legal representation, I called Mr. Aaron Hopkins office, and he personally called me right back and answered every question I had. Not only did he have my son's information pulled up and was already knowledgeable about what was going on, he answered my questions... confidently. I retained him and his staff late in the day and within 24 hours, he had done more for my son then the court appointed lawyer he had done in 8 days! Mr. Hopkins came to court, found me and my daughter in law, took us to a room and thoroughly explained everything to us. Everything worked out great! While no one wants to find themselves needing representation, IF you ever do, do yourself a favor and hire Mr. Hopkins, our system is very broken, and you cannot count on justice by yourself.

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.

Spectacular lawyer

Aaron was so easy to work with. He guided me every step of the way, answering all of my questions and easing all of my worries and fears. It was clear he had many years of experience as he handled my case with ease. He understands his clients and their needs along with the hard work and dedication th...at is required for each of his cases. I was very successful in my case and Mr. Hopkins got me everything I wanted and everything that benefited my son. I hope to never have to revisit this entire situation again, but my mind is at ease knowing I have Mr. Aaron Hopkins in my corner. Aaron always answered my calls or called me back whether it was on weekends or anything. I could not have asked for a better legal advisor than Aaron Hopkins and I would absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone, hands down.

One of the Best in Southern Illinois

After 30 plus years of Law Enforcement under my belt I can tell Aaron focuses on the fundamentals of what our country was founded on BEING THE TRUTH. Our case pitted my wife and I against our Lying, jealous neighbors. Aaron established the total truth Case Dismissed.
