Welcome to the Law Office of Michelle C. Hopkins. Our firm strives to create meaningful access to the family law courts for both low and moderate income families. Many families find themselves stuck between earning too much to qualify for free legal services and not earning enough to afford traditional full service attorney representation. The excessive cost of legal services can often leave families with no choice but to struggle against the legal, financial, and emotional challenges of their case without the benefits of legal advice and guidance. Our office works to break down these financial barriers by offering customized, cost-effective limited scope legal services to the community.

We efficiently cut through confusing family law court processes and procedures, focusing on your concerns and using legal analysis to determine practical solutions. Empowering our clients with knowledge of the law and their various legal options, clients will be able to make confident, informed decisions and more successfully navigate the complexities of the court system. Offering a variety of different legal services, clients can choose from options including case assessment consultations, document preparation and review, ongoing legal coaching, and limited scope court appearances. Reduced hourly rates and flat fees are offered on a case-by-case basis following the initial case assessment, aiming to ensure that clients will only pay for the legal services they need when they need them. Our “pay as you go” business model strives to ensure financial certainty about both attorney fees and court costs.

Please feel free to contact us for a legal consultation. We look forward to providing you with compassionate, expert, and affordable legal services.

We assist with legal analysis and case assessment, document preparation, hearing and trial preparation, and court appearances in divorce, legal separation, nullity, paternity, child support, domestic violence and civil harassment cases. We draft petitions, responses, disclosure declarations, joinders, Request for Orders (RFO), responsive declarations, motions, orders after hearings, settlement proposals, trial briefs, and judgments. We conduct all forms of discovery including interrogatories, demands for production, depositions, and subpoenas.
