EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
James C. Hopkins III has accumulated a wealth of experience after more than twenty years as a criminal defense attorney. He has diligently represented clients on matters ranging from the most serious felonies like murder, kidnapping, narcotics sales, fraud and conspiracies, to less serious misdemeanor charges such as driving while intoxicated or petit larceny.
Mr. Hopkins is a former Assistant District Attorney for Onondaga County, and he brings to his clients the knowledge and perspective he gained as a prosecutor. Tenacious in defense of his clients, he also tries to illuminate issues that might not be readily apparent to less experienced practitioners. Mr. Hopkins personally oversaw thousands of prosecutions as a member of the District Attorney's Felony Trial Unit, the Narcotics Unit, and the DWI/Vehicular Homicide Unit. The insight he gained over many years of practice on both sides of the courtroom is invaluable to clients who must deal with a criminal prosecution.
When it is you or a loved one facing a criminal charge, there is no such thing as a minor offense. We strive to represent all our clients diligently, and with compassion.
Our office is located in downtown Syracuse and there is plentiful parking adjacent to our office. We look forward to discussing your case, and explaining your options.
