Experienced, determined, professional attorney

Bill Hopkins is an attorney I hired due to a complaint filed against me by a client. Because of this complaint, I was facing possible disciplinary action against me and my professional license. Having never experienced anything like this before, there was a great amount of anxiety around the complexi...ties of this process including the response to the complaint, the investigation of the complaint, and the time waiting for a resolution. Bill Hopkins helped me understand each step of this process and what to expect as well as what not to expect along the way. Bill's knowledge of the licensing board and understanding of the process allowed me to feel more confident of his ability to represent me and defend my license. From early on, I knew based on his attention to detail, that he was going to be thorough in his approach and look at all possible scenarios involved in a formal complaint. Mr. Hopkins communicated with me in a very clear, honest manner, never leading me to believe a certain outcome was going to be a given, but rather, prepared and informed me at each phase. I appreciated this approach as well as the insight and awareness that was offered from the beginning to the end. Mr. Hopkins was very determined and persistent in representing me. There were moments, due to sheer fatigue and exhaustion that I was ready to give up. He was able to encourage me to keep going and ultimately it paid off. In the end, the board decided to give me a warning letter versus any type of disciplinary action against me and my license. I am forever grateful for his determination, wisdom, guidance and professionalism. I could not have done this without his assistance. For anyone who has to go through this process, it is a daunting task. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone who is looking for an approachable attorney who will explain, educate, advocate, and be there for you. Thank you Bill for all you do.

A Godsend

This attorney is excellent! His answer was very thorough, specific, detailed and directly on point yet very easy to follow. He gave me exactly what I asked for, which was an idea of which specific laws relate to my issue so i can read them myself. Plus, he highlighted relevant points and brought them... to my attention. I am so happy he was the one who answered my question. Ive used free advice websites before and my experience has been ok, but they were all a little vague and broadstroaked answers; answers that probably didnt take much time to write. Mr. Hopkins was so thoughtful it gave me the feeling he spent time on my question and really cares about my situation and giving the best possible advice. He is a complete professional who sets the bar very high. I couldnt be more pleased! Ps. I consulted with him both on and off the Avvo site. He even gave me permission to call him at his office. He and I have messaged back and forth several times and I couldnt be more pleased with him. Stacey
