Great service=GREAT Lawyer

I used Mr. Hopson twice with in a year.. Both case did take some time but not at Mr. Hopsons fault. There was a lot of information to collect and agree on he handled himself very professionally. He would call us back when needed, with direct answers. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Ray Hopson.... THANK Y...OU for your patience and help.... If i need a lawyer again someday i will call again, but sorry Ray i hope i dont....

excellent lawyer

Mr. Hopson was an excellent lawyer for my needs. He answered all my questions and walked me through every step of my case from beginning to end. I will be using him for any of the legal needs in the future.

Avoid at all Costs

Limited communication between him and his staff. I have requested information based on what is needed to go forward with my bankruptcy. I have given all of the information requested. One of his coworkers will call at 5p on Thursday as she is leaving the office to only be gone Friday, Saturday, and Su...nday. (must be nice) She calls when I am at work when I can not answer and I have requested on multiple times for communication through email. Keep better records that way. His law office has received full payment of services for over 5 months with the same questions being asked over and over again. I do know that I have given him an ultimatum with no response. I am on the verge and should have been a long time of go of changing lawyers. If you do not mind low communication and taking half a year or more to even file for bankruptcy then this is the lawyer for you. If not avoid at all costs.

Replied last February 03, 2014

Sometimes clients come in and want to pay for the attorney's services in monthly installments. Some cases cannot be filed until the fees have been paid in full. Sounds like this is the situation here. I have contacted Mr. Hopson's office many times on Friday and either he has answered or his secretary has answered. Many times the client does not get all of the information required to the attorney for several weeks. He handled me in a timely and professional manner and I have and would recommend him to my best friend.
