Great Honest Attorney

I was recommended to Jon by a friend. I was apprehensive about dealing with another attorney after 3 others had left me with no faith in the system or anything to do with the law. Jon took on my criminal case after another lawyer took my money and did nothing to help my situation. Jon assessed my pro...blem, figured out a course of action, explained the good and the bad points of the system to me, and then guided me through each step as we executed his plan. He came through with exactly what he told me should happen. This is one of the good guys. I highly recommend him for any legal situation that he can handle.

Helped a Father gain majority time sharing with Daughter

A few years ago today, my child's mother threatened to abandon state with our toddler. I filed the necessary paperwork in the courthouse pro se. Eventually, she did leave the state with child without my permission. I hired a local attorney who represented me during several meditations to reestablish ...my relationship with daughter. The mother eventually decided to not mediate further and my attorney was a bit sluggish to react. I decided to fire her and consult with other attorneys. Mr. Hackworth was 1 out of 4 local attorneys. Each attorney offered trial representation at an expensive rate. Some attorneys did not speak with me and requested consultation fees. Mr. Hackworth contacted me and offered pre-trial and trial representation at a very affordable rate. To be honest, the low rate caused skepticism and hesitation at first. After further online research, I could not find anything negative. I am glad I decided to hire attorney Hackworth. He is personable, he does not make you feel rushed, he conducts business using his own cell phone which is extraordinary and that is not all, Mr. Hackworth assisted me in winning majority custody of my daughter. As a father, most people doubted the possibility of this outcome for the last two years of my life. Attorney Hackworth made this possible. Do not hesitate to hire him, he is affordable, caring and very knowledgeable.

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!
