Exceptionally good law firm. As a business owner, I rarely get to be the client and am tough to please. I recommend them to anyone needing legal services.
Remember be Brave and Just Do It. You will be so excited with your new improved life .
Now the real....she is not cheap and you will pay... but like everything else in life...you get EXACTLY what you pay for. I spent over 40k with this firm and never went to.court....because this team, through experience and preperation, slammed EVERY door my ex tried to open and exploit - best paralegals in the business (Lindsay). I hope to never be in the position to need representation again, but if I do, this team will be my ONLY Choi e.
UPDATE:
Just got an email from Michelle Hopkins threatening to sue if I don’t remove this review... lol what a joke they are... freedom of speech gotta love it... I guess this reallly hit home;) Again please please please find another law firm or you will get ripped off and bullied!!! Also I forgot to state that they will throw secret fees in and try to sneek it in! And if you catch them they say ooops sorry our fault... HIGHWAY ROBBERY and than if you don’t pay they use a frivolous attorney to try to sue you and illegally jack up costs from let’s say 8k to 12k... They are now under investigation this is all I can say thanks to our great Virginia bar and federal system.
She can also throw down in a court room! Don’t let her sweet looks fool you!
It’s never enough to simply “get things done”. Michelle and the team at The Hopkins Law Firm raise the standard and deliver so much more than that which is required. Regardless of who takes your call or greets you upon arrival, you are cared for. With a moral compass that points due north and a team poised to help you succeed, Michelle Hopkins and the Hopkins Law Firm help you make sense of the things which seem impossibly out of your control. Rest assured the work on your case is being executed effectively and efficiently. You will not regret making the call to her office to seek help.
I have had attorneys in the past take a case and try to figure their way through it. This was not the case here. It was obvious that this firm cares more about the client than the money. I will definitely be back soon for my estate planning.
Michelle and her staff kept me informed throughout the process, quickly responding to any actions that I needed.
Michelle and her staff were always timely with all documents unlike the opposing attorney/ex who were content with dragging this out at every turn and taking forever to do anything.
Michelle was very knowledgeable about military Divorce procedures. I would highly recommend this law firm to friends , family and anyone needing excellent legal representation.
If in the future I need any legal advice I will contact this law firm first.
The entire staff at The Hopkins Law Firm is pleasant and professional. They have helped us through our difficulties with divorce & subsequently custody. They maintained their professionalism even in the face of my ex's rude and disrespectful behavior: Michelle and her associate attorneys are great at listening and are truly invested in your case. I appreciate the honesty and advice they give and recommend them very highly!
If you're looking for an excellent family lawyer, go with Hopkins - it will be a great decision!
I spent over 9 months with another Law Firm with little to show for, except a debt of almost $40K.
Ms. Hopkins brought order to a very chaotic, emotional, trying case that had no end in site.
Ms.Hopkins picked up the pieces of my case, set a court date right away, worked with me to develop of strategy and ultimately finalized a settlement within 5 months, without me accumulating another large debt for lawyers fees. Opposing counsel's client was difficult to work with, at best. Ms. Hopkins was able to strategically motivate the OC and his client to keep the case moving forward and move toward a favorable settlement.
The Hopkins Law Firm is professional, efficient, and compassionate. My correspondance were answered timely and thoroughly, Michael and his staff were efficient with billing, answered and explained all questions or concerns quickly. Ms. Hopkins worked after hours to accomodate my work schedule, she kept me grounded when needed, explained everything in terms I was able to understand, and faught for me to get a settlement that will allow me to properly provide for my children, that if left up to the Virginia Court System and Virginia Divorce Laws, I would most likely not have received otherwise.
Words can not express the amount of gratitude my family and I have for Ms. Hopkins and her staff.
Michelle did a great job in representing me both effectively and professionally. In our first meeting , Michelle spelled out our strategy and executed it perfectly. I would recommend the Hopkins firm for any legal situation where you want a fair legal outcome!
Michelle's communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which makes it easy and efficient to do business with her. She was encouraging with her advice while still being respectful of my wishes. I couldn't afford to have outrageous legal bills because my ex decided to stop paying me child support and alimony. The Hopkins firm was successful with getting me all of the money owed to me plus interest and legal fees paid back to me.
For billing, Michelle's staff kept me up to date with detailed bills so I always knew where I stood. If I need to go back and revisit my case and she will definitely be the person I go to.
Throughout the case, her focus was on truly understanding what my overall objectives were. She listened intently to my concerns, was always patient and supportive, and answered my hundreds of questions along the way. She consistently presented the facts with objectivity. She was fair and always had the best interests of my children in mind.
Ms. Hopkins brought a calm confidence to what was a very emotional, costly, and trying case. The outcome was absolutely in the best interests of the children and I cannot thank Ms. Hopkins and her team enough for the added support and high level of concern they all showed me and my family.
- My wife is an adulterer - so I had cause for divorce - yet I'm the defendant because Hopkins never filed, opposing counsel filed instead.
- Asked Hopkins in April 2015 to get a court date so I could finish the case. She promised in May that it would be a day or two - but didn't file for a date. Opposing counsel ended up filing for a date in July (for Feb 2016).
- Opposing counsel sent a settlement offer (not a good one) in May 2015 but I didn't receive it until July 2015.
- She regularly left my questions unanswered, which makes me think she didn't even bother to read my communications to her.
- It seems her sole purpose is to milk her clients. I told Hopkins I couldn't keep sending her checks for simply shuttling demands from opposing counsel to me and my answers back. Instead of a talk about what I needed/didn't need from her, she promptly resigned as my attorney.
Believe me, you are better off skipping this office.
