The "Kurt Hopke" special

I will be forever indebted to Kurt for what he has done for me. I was initial charges were PCS 1-4g, theft of a motor vehicle, and a 2nd degree felony fraud charge. I bonded out and then caught a 1st degree felony PCS charge along with a 1st degree fraud case. It's truly a miracle I'm able to write t...his review considering the severity of my charges. But once you have Kurt by your side, you start calling miracles "the Kurt Hopke special" in this case, that was an 8 years deferred sentence on the 2 fraud charges only. The 3 other charges were dismissed. The best thing about having Kurt as your lawyer is knowing that you have someone that will do what's in your best interest. I can't tell you how important that is when you find yourself in jail and no way to help yourself. Oh, and if you are incarcerated while fighting your cases, Kurt visits his clients more so than some family members do. Be prepared to have many jealous cell mates. What makes Kurt so good at his job is the fact that he loves his job. This dude is a geek when it comes to the law. He gets so into it that mere mortals like me can't understand a word he is saying when he discovers something that could help you. I trust Kurt more so than anyone that I know, including family. To have that big of an impact on people's lives by just doing your job shows how good he is and why you should stop searching for an attorney and hire Kurt.

Best lawyer ever

Kurt took our case which was a probation violation. He had two felony cases and one felony prior. After writing writs to the court of criminal appeals, two of the three felonies went away. The states first offer was 25 years and he ended up getting him reinstated on probation!!! He is a wizard and I ...highly suggest everyone to hire him!

DWI probation violation

I was facing jail time after violating my probation. This was my second issue with law enforcement the I had no idea what questions to ask or what much of the lingo meant and the attorney I used for my DWI did not give me much help. The DWI took almost a year to resolve, my violation took 3 months, a...nd in that 3 months I got more help, and much better advice than the entire year that I spent with the other attorney. I would highly recommend Kurt for legal representation.

Best attorney in Houston

I went to Kurt over a possession case in Harris county. He was always responsive and kept me informed. He got my case dismissed and didn't charge me an arm and a leg like most attorneys in the Houston area. I highly recommend him to anybody in need of an attorney.

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."
