About Brigid M.
Brigid M. Hopkins studied at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale before earning her law degree at Southern Illinois University School of Law. She spent her formative academic years in southern Illinois, where classroom study and local legal clinics shaped her early interest in courtroom work and regulatory issues. Her legal education combined doctrinal courses with practical exercises that prepared her for both litigation and administrative practice.
Her early career included time in prosecution. In 2017 she worked at the Williamson County State's Lawyer's Office, where she handled matters that required courtroom preparation and direct interactions with witnesses and victims. That prosecutorial experience gave her a practical sense of evidence, procedure, and the pressures of trial calendars. It also provided a foundation for handling disputed factual and legal questions under time-sensitive conditions.
After her time in public service she moved into private practice. Records list her current office as Pennington Law, PLLC. At that firm she has combined her courtroom background with work that touches on insurance and regulatory topics. She also holds a Life Insurance & Health license issued by the Arizona Department of Insurance, a credential that allows her to navigate state insurance rules and compliance matters.
Hopkins maintains current membership in professional associations. Those memberships keep her connected to peers and provide access to continuing education and policy discussions. She has used those channels to stay current on changes in state insurance regulation and on litigation trends that affect both consumers and insurers.
Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic. She tends to break complex problems into manageable parts, and keep clients informed about realistic outcomes. In hearings and administrative settings she draws on her trial experience to present evidence and argument clearly. In transactional or regulatory matters she applies the same attention to detail to paperwork, deadlines, and statutory interpretation.
She is licensed to practice in Arizona and holds the Arizona Department of Insurance license for life and health insurance matters. That combination of courtroom experience and insurance licensure positions her to assist clients whose cases touch both regulatory compliance and contested claims.
Her current practice centers on insurance regulatory matters and litigation at Pennington Law, PLLC.
