James works really hard to get to know his clients individual story. He cares about what brought someone to his front door and works hard to advocate for his clients to be seen and heard.
James was my attorney for a complete trial in Larimer County. He went above and beyond what was needed and expected. I was a state pay client, which means I was unable to pay him. The state was responsible to pay his fee, and the State is cheap. They were full of dirty tricks, and even attempted to refuse to provide me with the ability to have counsel. James knew this was not right and knew I was innocent and being railroaded. Because of this he actually had a risk of representing me without just and earned payment. He still did it, and he did it with his full effort and professionalism. We went to and completed trial, and through a combination of true innocence and zealous defense I had a full and complete exoneration and not guilty verdict on all counts. I appreciate James Hopkins legal expertise and his human decency as well. I recommend his services completely.
