Bankruptcy Issues

The current state of the economy reveals that many families are over extended and overwhelmed with debt.

Mr. Hopson can discuss the various methods of debt relief available through bankruptcy. Most bankruptcy filings (over one million in 1997) are Chapter 7 liquidation cases. A Chapter 7 case allows you to legally avoid the repayment of most or all of your consumer debt. Chapter 13 allows you to repay your obligations through a court approved plan that utilizes a payment amount determined by you and not your creditors.

Some bankruptcy cases are filed in bad faith, solely to deter or defraud creditors and landlords. Mr. Hopson is an experienced creditor's rights and landlord attorney. His firm offers full service to landlords in pre or post eviction bankruptcies and to general creditors.

Criminal Issues

Mr. Hopson is an experienced criminal attorney, representing people in juvenile, misdemeanors and felony cases. On most misdemeanors, we can usually arrange the case so that the defendant never even has to appear in court.

Personal Injury

From dog bites to auto accidents, Mr. Hopson is skilled at representing plaintiffs who have suffered through personal injury and the loss or destruction of property. Many injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, allowing the client to retain their attorney without paying a large retainer.
