Federal Charge? Hire Jacque Hawk.

I was unfortunate enough to need to hire a criminal defense attorney for a federal charge that my ex-wife alleged during my divorce. Jacque Hawk and his team were there for me every step of the way and truly treated me like family during the most intense and stressful period of my life. Choosing an a...ttorney can be a difficult decision since you are essentially placing your life and freedom in someone's hands. If you're reading this and in a similar situation, I highly encourage you to reach out to The Hawk Firm. Jacque Hawk is an excellent, well-respected attorney with an outstanding track record, and his associate Jeremy Babb and paralegal Melissa Padgett go above and beyond for their clients. At trial, Jacque and his team fought vigorously and achieved an innocent verdict in federal court. I know I made the right decision by hiring The Hawk Firm, and if you're looking for an attorney to fight for you the same way they did for me, I would urge you to contact them.

Super Attorney

We needed an attorney for our son. He was facing 15 yrs in prison and only 28 years old. Never been in trouble but DA wanted to put him away. Judge commended Mr. Hawk in front of the whole court for his excellent presentation and preparation in this case. Son Got 3 yrs probation and first offender. ... You will not be disappointed.

Best Attorney I Ever Met

From the get go Mr. Hawk was everything I was looking for; and more. Easy to talk to, professional, personable. Everything, so far, that he said he would do he has come through; and more. As a retired Paralegal I have met many an attorney but Jacque Hawk gets the Grand Prize. "We Don't Play!"

Hire Jacque D. Hawk if you want True Justice

IN 2007, Mr. Hawk got a phony charged dismissed against me for lack of evidence. I lost my peace of mind and money... until Mr. Hawk stepped in and held the police and district attorney to the standard of proving their allegations. Many people assume that if you are arrested, you are guilty. Mr.... Hawk proved I wasn't guilty and it was not on a technicality. Policemen arrest many poor and minorities people knowing that they don't have money to hire a good attorney. If you are arrested... 90% of the time you are going to be found guilty or they are going to offer you a plea. After several nights in a detention center with bad food, screaming and threatening people... and where they only dim the lights at night, you're ready to sign anything to get youself out of there... and that is coercion. The District Attorney doesn't investigate your case. They take the word of all policemen (as poxy officers of the Court) as being true. They didn't investigate my witnesses or the facts of the charge. They took the Policeman word as true (and many policeman have hidden agendas and biases).... and without investigating, they offer a plea to you. Or if it is serious, they don't offer a plea and take you to Court... to make their record stronger. The Police and District Attorney... and the Magistrates are all paid from the same purse... The District attorney depends on the Police to bring them cases... even if it is a case that shouldn't be tried. You will need someone like Jacque D. Hawk to protect your interest... NO matter what anyone says, this is an attorney with INTEGRITY. I trusted him and so should you.
