Case Dismissed!!

My case took so long I thought it would nver be over but that wasn't Mr. Hopke's fault. The court was slow. Mr. Hopke was patient and always answered all my questions. He was smarter than the prosecutors and got my case dismissed. He worked really hard on everything.

Best defense attorney in Houston!

I was arrested and charged with stealing a car (BIG MISUNDERSTANDING) and a friend referred me to Kurt after he got his charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. I wanted an experienced attorney. I met with a lot of lawyers that didn't know what they were talking about. Kurt worked in the D.A.'...s Office and explained to me everything I was dealing with. He always drove out to me, which was great. I never had to drive out to his office. He arranged a payment plan for me that I could handle. My case dragged on forever because it kept being reset. Kurt was always on top of everything. He worked real hard. He got my case dismissed! I'm so glad I chose him.

Fee for Free

This lawyer failed to give a contract and a reciept. A sum of money was given to this lawyer to get started on our case. There was not even a phone call made on our behalf. When we informed him that we were hiring another lawyer (I finally got a contract three days later that I never signed) I asked... about a refund. He stated that he earned that money but would never answer on what he did to earn it.

This client was given both a receipt and a contract. A significant amount of work was done on this case and correspondence was sent to this client explaining this. Attorneys do not issue refunds under these circumstances. This is an industry standard. Our practice has never encountered any complaints or dissatisfaction aside from this disparaging and deceptive post. It is advisable that one not enter into an agreement if they do not intend on honoring the terms therein. We regret that this client chose to prematurely end their agreement with us. Our practice has been able to consistently have charges dismissed or substantially reduced for the vast majority of our clients.

Honest and Hardworking

I was facing serious charges and had lost all hope until I met Kurt. I had gone through two lawyers before him, both of which let me down. Kurt was professional and very knowledgeable. I just found out today that my case has been dismissed. Kurt worked very hard to make it happen and I am very gratef...ul. I was shocked to see someone wrote something negative about him. I was given a contract and receipt at our first meeting. He was recommended to me by a friend who also was very happy with his work. If you talk to him, you'll know that he is honest and knows what he's doing.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"If there is one word I can use to describe Kurt, it would be "fighter". Kurt works extremely hard for his clients, appointed or retained. He doesn't give in to the prosecutor's BS and he's not afraid to go to trial. We tried a DWI case together in Fort Bend county about a year ago. Stakes were high - client's felony probation would get revoked and he would go to prison if we lost. Fortunately for the client, he had Kurt as a lawyer and we were able to secure the "Not Guilty!" and give the client his life back. I endorse this lawyer."
