Edward Hopkins
Defamation and Civil Rights Attorney in Colorado
I am Ed Hopkins, a trial lawyer and appellate litigator with a focus on civil rights, constitutional law, defamation, and invasion of privacy law. My commitment to preserving free speech rights and voting rights for American citizens is the reason I practice law. I firmly believe that no American should suffer abuse or death at the hands of police officers who are meant to serve and protect them, and I advocate for my clients who have been victims of these injustices.
My relationship with Raymond Bryant, the founding attorney of our firm, began during our law school days when we were teammates in mock trial competitions. We have successfully litigated high-stakes cases together while working at separate firms. Our shared beliefs in the vital role of dedicated civil rights lawyers and our commitment to excellent trial advocacy form the foundation of our partnership. These principles drive our firm's mission to practice civil rights law with courage, integrity, and skill.
