WHAT IT MEANS BY CONCURRENT TWO CASES

I HAD ASK A QUESTION ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND AND WHAT IT MEANT ABOUT CONCURRENT TWO CASES TOGETHER AND I HAD RECIEVE A VERY GOOD REPORT BY STUART HAWKINS IT WAS VERY HELPFUL AND I HAD GOTTEN MORE UNDERSTANDING

Great Attorney!

Stuart has 2 cases for me. In 2009, he handled my car accident case, and kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case. If I was unsure about anything he was talking about, he took the time to explain all the terms that I was unclear about. I never felt like he forgot about my case or... that I wasn't getting the attention I needed. He was right there any time there was a new development in the case, I and was immediately informed. He gave me great advice on what was coming, and what to expect. He settled the case and I was very happy with the results! In 2011, he also handled my child custody case. He fought for everything that I wanted, and made sure that I was happy with the outcome. When I told him I wanted the child support portion to go through the state Child Support Enforcement Division, he was very clear, and expressed to the judge all of the facts that supported that portion of my case. I would recommend Stuart to anyone, for both Motor Vehicle accidents, and family court issues!

Awesome attorney

Attorney Hawkins handled my car accident case in 2010. He kept me up to date on all aspects of the claim and answered many questions I had. The process of litigation can take very long and can be dragged out but with Attorney Hawkins keeping me updated on the case it seemed to go by quickly. In th...e end, I did settle my case for over 6 figures because Attorney Hawkins would not take less!

Posted by anonymous | February 20, 2015 | Foreclosure

Saved My Home !!

While foreclosure or modification of an existing mortgage can be so taboo and completely daunting, Attorney Hawkins listened to my concerns, worked with me, my Lender and opposing counsel throughout the process. Although it could have gone either way, Attorney Hawkins fought for me and my family and... we were able to stay in our home with a more affordable payment. Foreclosure is never easy but, Attorney Hawkins got us through it with current knowledge, honesty as to what my options were and there was always open communication. We appreciate his help and that of his wonderful staff!! I have recommended him to my family and friends.
