A Helping Hand
Attorney Leah Hopkins has been with the VanMeveren Law Group for about a year now and has successfully litigated for many of our clients. She loves helping people, which is one of the many reasons she pursued a career in law — and specifically, personal injury law. “Insurance companies tend take advantage of people without attorneys. I’m there to intervene,” she says. After an accident, it can be tough to navigate those next steps, and having an experienced attorney can make a difference — a difference Leah loves to make. “I believe in fighting hard for clients and that’s easier when you work with a firm with a lot of integrity. That’s VanMeveren Law Group. It’s a great group, with great people, and a great boss.”
Originally from California, Leah moved to the Fort Collins area to take advantage of the region’s many amazing amenities. She loves to hike and camp, and she tries to get up to Horsetooth Reservoir for some boating when she can. But more than that, Leah loves the community, which was perfect for her daughter. “We live in a safe community. The schools are wonderful, which is really awesome.” You won’t necessarily find Leah hiking or boating every weekend. She spends a lot of her time outside of the office mentoring at-risk girls and young women. She helps them get back on their feet and offers a little stability where there might not otherwise be any.
