History

Established in 2011.

Adam Hopler and Christopher Wilms started Hopler & Wilms, LLP in an effort to help people with employment matters and provide assistance with the legal aspects that affect people at the end of life (estate law). They built the practice with a couple of principles: (1) Legal service should be affordable and accessible; and (2) Clients should be treated as partners rather than customers.
