Trustworthy Representation

I was worried when I got stuck with a bogus charge. Mr. Hopke,although met with some resistance from the courts was able to get everything dismissed. I am greatful for his service and would highly recommend him.

Dismissed!

Kurt is a very perceptive attorney he looked at every aspect of my case with a fine tooth comb! He basically tore apart the states claims and was ultimately able to dismiss all charges. If you want a attorney that actually cares if you win or lose Kurt's your man. He was willing to fight for me even ...when I was ready to sign! Now I am able to return to my life and for that I thank you Kurt.

Happy to have found him

Such a great attorney. He helped me with. DWI case I was having serious hard time in fighting on my own. I was being charged without having ever received tickets or a court date of any kind. Kurt went in and won this case for me. He was able to find so many discrepancies in my case that I, for obvio...us reason, would not have been able to find on my own. He found that these tickets I supposedly received in January 2013 weren't even filed until may 2013. That's just one of the many mistakes that were made. All in all I'm very happy and recommend him to anyone that might, for unfortunate reasons, need a great criminal defense attorney.

Excellent representation

Mr. Hopke represented me on a felony case, and proved to be excellent at what he does. He saw me the day after I contacted him, and anticipated the likely verdict. He had a plan, instructed me on what I needed to do, and knew the right people that could help. He sent me for a psyche evaluation, which... revealed that I'm autistic. (I had no idea, having lived all my life undiagnosed!) Mr. Hopke also knew someone that specialized in that field - the best in Texas - and sent me to that person to be evaluated. With that completed, it was a matter of waiting for the DA to be ready to hear the case. Throughout the time that my case was pending, Mr. Hopke made clear that he was more than just a legal counselor, that he was always available to answer any questions I had. He knew all the possible outcomes and had a plan ready for each of them. I always felt better after I left the courtroom. I eventually got deferred adjudication, just as he said. I don't know if I would ever find out that I'm autistic had I gone with another attorney, if any of them would be willing to go the distance or the financial costs of these psychological evaluations. But Mr. Hopke did, I now know what I have, and am able to look for the right course of actions. I cannot thank him enough.

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."
