The Focus is on Your Success in the Court System

Respect in the court system stems not just from success in the courts but also from a known compassion for the individuals who are facing criminal charges. Attorney Peter Hopkins ensures that clients and their families always have access to clear communication so they know what’s happening at each stage of the defense process. 

In fact, it’s essential that clients understand their case, which is why Peter offers full access to open lines of communication at all times during his clients’ cases. Clients will never needlessly wonder what’s happening or what happens next.
