She fought for me when I was facing the possibility of losing my home and helped me achieve the outcome I was hoping for, the ability to remain in my home. Maria was knowledgeable, professional, and committed to protecting my rights every step of the way. She took the time to understand my situation, guided me through a stressful and difficult process, and made sure my voice was heard. Thanks to her representation and determination, we won my case. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about her clients and is willing to fight for them.

As you get to know me you will discover that my practice is intentionally small to allow a certain level of intimacy with my clients and their families. I value that relationship and truly feel that my work is as much about the counseling that occurs during the process as it is about the documents that are created. I attempt to approach each matter with the goal of first understanding my client's true objectives before suggesting any solutions. I want my client's to not only be satisfied with the product that they receive but to also be happy about the service that is being provided to them along the way so that they can have peace of mind that their important affairs are being taken care of and are in good order. For that reason I fully expect to see and hear from them and to stay in touch with them on a regular basis

If you want an advocate who represents you like they've walked in your shoes, who responds with compassion, has stellar negotiation skills, attention to detail and gets results, go directly (yes, right now!) to The Hopkins Law Firm.

Her whole staff is compassionate and attentive. I recommend her to anyone and everyone that I can.

I would NOT recommend this law firm. Long story, short. Their associate I initially "interviewed"…read moreknew all the right things to say to convince me she was an ideal attorney and how I should not have to put up with my abusive husband physically, sexually, verbally, and financially. He also gave their associate and paralegal a hard time regarding a zip file of all his financials and challenged her about their internet security. He is the mastermind of network security, and the associate ended up apologizing to my lying husband! And then she had to tell my spouse to not harass the paralegal Keep in mind he is a classic narcissist and told me repeatedly that's she was a piece of $hit and how I should fire her. I shared this info with her and she reassure me that he was just angry. She charged me for every single email she reviewed about my concerns and her email responses, calls I made crying to her. Nothing she said or did had any effect on my spouse. She was aware of all the trauma I endured, pretending to care about the abuse, having me send all pictures of the abuse to my face and video footage that my daughter took of him, and still charging me for looking at every single evidence making me believe she was building my case to present in court that she never ended up using. Invoices had more "reviewed" this and scrub through that, many which she couldn't keep track nor remember. Double charges. we did an informal discovery, too. Tried to establish a fair PSA, which my spouses attorney drew up, and anything I didn't agree with just costed more money to make minor changes that did NOT appear in the final document. Again, thousands of dollars of providing her all the evidence she needed to prepare to file with the court, only she had no intention of ever using them, but she sure as hell charged me. I even wrote to the spouse of Hopkins Law firm complaining about everything this associate has been doing and that it shouldn't take over 11/12k for for a damn PSA she really didn't fight for me on. Guess what happened? That email ended up right back into the hands of my associate attorney!!! And she was not happy. She argued how she had been there for me during the whole process. On numerous occasions I warned her that I was nearly becoming low on funds to keep up with replenishing my account for her work. She kept telling me that it would only cost another $1,000.00 to finish it up and lone it turned into nearly an additional 3k. Guess what happened? Her whole demeanor changed toward the end and she became mean and frustrated with me and she finally turned on me telling me I did not contribute anything to the marriage, and that then PSA was fair. My spouse use to give me 3k a month allowance to buy groceries, upkeep of our daughter both personal stuff and medical, then he kept reducing the amount to the point he threatened to not give me anymore money at all for me or my daughter. So she had to place a $1,500.00 stipend, which did not nearly cover most bills. Also, I had been on social security disability for years! I have taken care of my daughter for years while she was under psychiatric care from witnessing the abuse. I have contributed in qvarious ways! The associate was cold and rude. All that money and not a leg to stand on. Even my spouse's attorney said she was bleeding me dry with nothing to show. She couldn't believe how much I paid her and I soon became the laughing stalk with the Opposing counsel. The Owners husband did absolutely nothing. And when I demanded to have Mrs. Hopkins to take over my case, I was told that I would have to pay her fees of 350 per hour!!! Oh!! There were charges on my invoice that did not belong to me. They argued that two transactions on my invoice were indeed mine, and I had argue that I never had a young son who went to school and email correspondence on that same day. They said they would research it and get back to me. While waiting for them to make the corrections and get back to me, next thing I knew I was being sent to collections for none payment for services that were never done. I even asked them if the particular charges regarding the young child and correspondence were removed, the woman said the child was but I was still responsible for the correspondence that same day. I argued that no such emails were sent to me on that services rendered day. So now I wondered how many errors could have been on all my invoices. But any issues you may have with Hopkins Associates, its your word against Hopkins Law Firm. And get this! I recently learned that the associate is no longer with Hopkins! But boy were they were still after me for final charges that were a bit over $1,200.00 and still have nothing to show!!! Stay far away from this firm! They will bleed you dry financially. They are not interested in fighting for your rights, legally.
