This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Appellate Attorney

Cedric is a great attorney with an in-depth knowledge of the legal system. He is especially proficient in the appellate system and helped me with a response to an appeal filed against my case. He is able to interface with the right people to get the job done the best way possible, with all points co...nsidered. In my case, the appeal response was successful.

Posted by Robert Andrew | January 24, 2017 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Respectfully, distinguished with concern for personal well being.

I consulted with Mr Hopkins, in an effort to figure out the options I had, to help my troubled nephew. Cedric took my situation to heart, going out of his way to be sure I completely understood mine and my nephews rights, during this tragic time in our lives. I am proud to share with you, that becaus...e of his knowledge of the justice system, as well as personal attention to my nephew's legal and personal well being, I was able to get my nephew the legal help he needed and into a narcotics rehab program. I know this would not have been possible if Cedric had not advised me, in regards to proceedings and handling of such a sensitive and tragic situation.

"Cedric Hopkins is a colleague whom I have known for approximately four years. I have worked with him in Dependency and Severance matters at Pima County Juvenile Court and he has advised me on Appeal matters for which I represented clients. He is thorough, and has impeccable knowledgeable of the law. He cares deeply about the people he represents and has a strong sense of justice and advocacy. Mr. Hopkins is thorough and detail oriented in his research and advocates forcefully for his clients in the areas of Dependency, Criminal Defense and Appeals. He is also the consummate professional and is respectful and kind to colleagues and the public in general. I would hire and recommend him to any friend or family member."

"Cedric is a brilliant legal mind. He is fantastic in court, effective at writing persuasive briefs and motions and is one of the few attorneys I would hire to represent me or a family member in a criminal, divorce, or juvenile case. He has changed the legal landscape in many courtroom and jurisdictions and I recommend him with the highest regard."
