Brigid Hopkins and Virginia Henson are both skilled and experienced in their professions - they stayed in touch and clearly explained everything throughout the process of resolving my family's trust, keeping us informed of our progress through the legal system, preparing us for the hearing, and being transparent about the costs from Day One. Brigid was able to explain the law and its requirements in plain English, giving us confidence that we were doing everything that needed to be done, but nothing that would only add to the costs. I highly recommend Hopkins Law to anyone looking for professional and ethical help with estates, trusts, wills, and probate.
