Carl Jacob Hoppes

Carl is amazing!!!! I was referred by a previous client of his who said he was his last resort and finally was able to get his kids back. Carl was true to his word and aggressive enough to handle the bull I had been dealing with from the father. There were times when he even called the next moves ...of what the other party was going to do . I was very impressed. He didn’t put up their crap like I did and he was able to help me get more then what I was hoping for in child support. He is very knowledgeable and helped made things right. I can’t thank him enough for all his help. There’s no doubt in my mind that I would use him again and gladly refer him to anyone in need.

Save your money do not hire Carl Hoppes. If you hear these phrases from him your going to regret his actions," Its your day I need to get this filed now. ","don't worry we will just file it late".I was going to call you,but I didnt want to ruin your weekend " with that phrase he made outside conver...sation with the opposing attorney then threw me under the bus in court. If you hear this phrase from him in court "your honor we have a strange request " this phrase cost me $3000. in pro-visitation monitor,made me look worse to the court, and left me with 12 hrs a week for 6 months visits with my kids, over lies from ex-wife. As soon as we walked out of court session when he claimed he was late and took off as fast as he could, when I question him about his actions in court, he went right to " If you don't have confidence in me find a different attorney " I did hire new attorney immediately and when asked for refund of partial pay because he did not do what he was paid for he waited ten days then produced some outrageous amount that he just made up.. When I first interviewed with Carl , he demeaned the opposing Lawyer calling him a " FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL " and went on a self promoting,lengthy, bragging rant, about how great he is,as it turned out that Flaming homosexual made Carl look like a fool in court. I can not stress the fact enough that Carl Hoppes is self serving, and the time he spends bragging you pay for. Also he was very technically challenged when he was emailing statements and cover letters , I would on receive the cover letters and not the statements,this probably has something to do with how dis-organized his La Mesa office appears. My goal with this review is to save prospective clients their money and heartache do not hire Carl Hoppes or you will learn to regret it as I did

I am glad to say Carl Hoppes (lawyer) and Kelly Molina (paralegal) are the best team I ever had that nervous day in court. Not only was all the paper work on time and ready, but when court time played out in Ms.Katherine Bacal's court room, Carl Hoppes was flawless. He was stern, direct, and showed n...o mercy . To say the least I was awarded joint legal and joint physical custody of my 11 year old daughter. I would strongly recommend Carl Hoppes & Associates to anyone who thinks a lawyer doesnt make a diffrence ...or who is tired of not being able to say what you really want to say... if you've gone this far one more step couldn't hurt.... Just sit back and watch the fireworks unfold.. thank you C. Hoppes & Associates you do make a diffrence...
