Great Lawyer With Fair Payment Options

John Hackworth is an awesome Attorney. From the very beginning he didn't make us feel like another file he took the time to earn our business. John is very knowledgeable and personable as well. He never made us wait on a response and explained things in detail of needed. I would recommend John an...d his firm to anyone looking for a fair, understanding and decent humanbeing. If your looking for an attorney who can relate to being family oriented and understands times can be hard He's the one. He offered a payment plan that fit our budget and didn't hound us if we were late. John made things easy for us and we didn't have to miss work or attend any court dates. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND COOPERATION. YOU TRULY SHOW THE MEANING OF JUSTICE!

Makes you feel at ease

I don't have the complete background that most do on here with him, yet. I chose Avvo to begin searching for a divorce lawyer near Tampa. I've never needed a lawyer for anything (thank God), so I had no idea where to begin. I have done many consultations regarding my case- and he made me feel complet...ely at ease. His fees are reasonable. Even in a tight situation. I am looking forward to retaining him for my upcoming case/journey. If you're looking for a great lawyer, that truly makes your guard drop and feel confidence again- I must say this is your guy! I was Served my divorce paperwork yesterday. I was frantic. I didn't know where to begin. I do now, with Jonathan Hackworth. I intend to follow up with an outcome review once the divorce is finalized. As for now, I'm no longer uneasy- I feel empowered. Thank you Jon!

Thanks for saving my a**

I found Jon on this website, and within an hour of my initial email, he personally called me. To summarize the experience, Jon got me the exact results I wanted, in both my original sentencing and the violation. This was my first (and hopefully last!) experience hiring a criminal defense attorney, I ...was terrified. Jon is a realist, extremely intelligent, and kind minus the bullshit, and that helped me deal during the "waiting game." Great guy, this situation was handled almost perfectly. I say almost because if I had taken his advice and taken 90 days instead of probation, it would have been over a year ago, but it is, over. Thank you again, Jon.

BEST DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TAMPA!

I absolutely would recommend this attorney. I was a battered woman who was suffering at the hands of not only the abuser, but the police as well! They continuously incarcerated myself ONLY for Domestic Violence Battery. He came to see me at the jail and represented me for next to nothing because he t...ruly cares about his clients. He got my charge dismissed and got me out of there in DAYS! Not only did these unjust incarcerations stop, but he gave me the strength I needed to leave my abuser and he didn't even realize how much he truly helped me and my unborn daughter. She is now 8 months old, beautiful and doing very well! If it wasn't for Jonathan, I could have lost my baby completely. Like I previously mentioned, Johnathan truly cares about his clients. Not only did he get the entire case dismissed before I ever even saw a court room....??? But he helped me better my SELF as well!
