Divorce

Attorney Hooper did the paperwork for my divorce. She was knowledgable about my rights and what I should ask for in property. Her rates were reasonable. She was not only helpful in legal matters but she also listened to my struggles with this legal issue. I would recommend highly recommend her!!!

Divorce/Child Custody

My lawyer has been the best thing that has happened to me. Mrs. Hooper filed for my divorce and it was done in 35 days. She did everything in her power to ensure it went as quick as possible. She and her staff kept me informed on everything going on and took my calls whenever I wanted to know somethi...ng. She is a no bull crap type of person. She will tell you the truth up front. No matter how much she has on her plate she will make the time to talk to me. I would recommend her to anyone. She also works with you on timelines. As long as it is reasonable she will make it happen. She is not a 9 to 5 worker. She works until the job is done no matter how late it is. She is great and I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer.

Best Attorney in Pulaski County

Attorney Hooper is very professional and extremely helpful when it comes to legal matters. I had never hired a lawyer before and was beyond impress with the results. She is honest and upfront about everything never promising anything she can't deliver. If it wasn't for Attorney Hooper I wouldn'...t of had the success I did, and my children wouldn't be as protected as they are now. Divorce is never fun, and Attorney Hooper made the process bearable and easy to handle. Herself as well as her staff are extremely friendly, courteous, and always kept in constant communication. I highly recommend Mrs. Hooper for any legal matters in the Pulaski County area.

Defending Those Who Defende America......

Attorney Deborah Hooper is a trusted professional to emulate. I’m a member of the United States Armed Forces. I was stationed in Germany April 2011 and received a summons to appear in court from my ex husband’s attorney. While stationed in Germany, I received orders to attend the Senior Leaders Cou...rse (Ft Leonard Wood, MO.) Attorney Hooper contacted me in reference to the Soldiers Sailors Relief Act. During my absence in the divorce proceedings she represented me in court. Leading up to my court date, she contacted me daily no matter what time of day or night. I completely trusted her with all of my personal affairs. Without a doubt, I will recommend Attorney Hooper to every military member that needs legal assistance!
