The Hopping Law Firm Difference focuses exclusively on two things:
(1) obtaining dismissals of criminal charges and claims in the early stages of a criminal case or investigation and
(2) winning cases at trial. This defense model differs from many law firms because the Hopping Law Group, PC accepts a select number of cases each year and dedicates to each of them a cohesive team of lawyers, investigators and outside experts. The team is led by the firm’s principal and managing partner, John Hopping, who founded the firm with the goal of attaining excellence in the field of criminal defense.

Winning Criminal Cases Requires a Winning Trial Strategy.
When it comes to criminal defense, the best defense truly is a strong offense. While many criminal cases are resolved before trial, in either a dismissal or favorable plea settlement, it is fundamental that every case be treated from the outset as a case that will go to trial. Rather than negotiate plea deals with prosecutors, attorneys at the Hopping Law Group, PC have found that diligent and aggressive preparation for trial means a higher probability of securing dismissals or plea deals that do not require prison time.
