Outstanding Court-Appointed Lawyer – Felony Theft Case Dismissed!

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service I received from my court-appointed lawyer, Kurt. When I was facing a felony 3 theft charge, I was unsure about the process and how things would turn out. From the start, Kurt impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to my case.... Despite being a court-appointed attorney, Kurt treated my case as if it were his top priority. He took the time to explain every step of the legal process, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my options. Kurt’s expertise and dedication were evident, and he went above and beyond to build a strong defense. Thanks to his hard work and strategic approach, my felony charge was ultimately dismissed, something I never thought possible when I first walked into the courtroom. Kurt's efforts completely changed the course of my life, and I am incredibly grateful for everything he did. If you’re in need of a skilled, trustworthy, and diligent lawyer, I highly recommend Kurt. He proved that even as a court-appointed attorney, he could achieve incredible results. Thank you, Kurt, for everything!

Biased county, but still fought hard

Contacting and communicating with Mr. Hopke was easy since he returned calls and texts. Going over the discovery and case strategy was challenging since he travels a lot. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to get along well with other attorneys, judges, and clerks. We took our case to trial and los...t, regardless Mr. Hopke really fought hard. And when it was futile, he planned out and set up strategies for future arguments during an appeal. He was always well groomed and he never sugar coated anything, to that I appreciated greatly!! He was honest and fair. Negative marks- some tardiness, but was always in communication with courts. Seemed preparation for trial was last minute, and it is understood he has a large work load since he is court appointed. At any rate Kurt Hopke is a great man and really put in effort, care, and really listened to all aspects of the case. I would recommend him.

Mr. Kurt was hired as my court appointed attorney while I was In custody at Katy fort bend county. He answered every call while I was in custody and kept in touch with me. He was so so great in court very professional and will fight for you. I felt safe to have him represent me. He went above and bey...ond for me and got my case dismissed! I thank god for him! He answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything that was going on in my case. You will not be disappointed hiring him to represent you. Thank you Mr. Kurt for everything

One of the best lawyers you could ask for

I was lucky and blessed to receive mr. Hopke as my court appointed attorney and I couldn't be any happier. Being i was not from the area and from another city not only did he show interest in my case for the area which is right outside of Houston in Katy but also showed interest and asking how I was... doing when it came to other cases I was facing in my own City of San Antonio telling me what ways and tactics I should look into when it came to being represented in my cases so that I can get them either dismissed or to somehow get a happy result. He always seemed to have my best interest at hand. He always answered my calls returned my messages and never had me questioning if he had my back. I am someone who has had a lot of problems with the law and have had my share of lawyers and from my experience most lawyers should be called Liars but in this case was totally different and would highly recommend anybody who is looking for a great lawyer who will have your back to the fullest to get a hold of Kurt Hopke. The end result of my case was dismissed and again I couldn't be more thankful .

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."
