He has some difficulty recalling previous discussions with his client
I had a disappointing experience with Travis Hawkins. Based on my personal experience, after six months under contract and $17,000 in fees, Mr. Hawkins informed me that he did not have any outline or summary for appealing my case to the appellate court. He also appeared to have difficulty recalling p...

I am very pleased with the service
I am very impressed with the service that Mr Hawkins provided for my son. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns. I never once felt like I didn’t know what was going on with my son’s case. As a court appointed attorney for my son, he showed a deep understanding of my son’s situat...

George Travis Hawkins's Lawyer Endorsements
"Travis has mastered the art of trial advocacy. His years of experience as a criminal defense attorney, in both the state and federal courts, inform every aspect of his sage advice. Travis understands the pulse of the courtroom, the language of procedure, and the power of jury trials. He cares deeply about his client's problems, and is acutely aware of the risk of loss that they face. Travis approaches his work with compassion, and will deliver his client's message without fear or hesitation. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"Travis is very experienced in criminal defense. At a seminar, and with just a few minutes of preparation, I watched him destroy a governments witnesses testimony. That only comes from lots of experience. Travis has tried several criminal jury trials; one lasting several months. If you have a complex criminal matter, this is the lawyer you want."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is an extraordinary advocate. He never loses sight of what’s best for his client."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Travis is a thorough and diligent criminal defense attorney. I would not hesitate to have him represent if I should find myself in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Travis for more than 20 years. He is an experienced trial attorney and gets great results for his clients. Recently, he obtained a "not guilty" verdict in what appeared to be a near hopeless federal matter. He works tirelessly for his clients and the results show it."
"Travis is diligent, intelligent, and zealous advocate for his clients. His years of experience provide him with the tools to pursue the best results for his clients and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an advocate in the law."
"Travis Hawkins excels in the areas of Probate and Estate Planning. He is very professional and conscientious of his clients' needs."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Travis on cases with mutual clients. I respect his professionalism and dedication to his clients. He is an expert in his field and I always know if I have a client with federal criminal charges, I can refer to Travis without hesitation."
"Although I am endorsing Travis for his criminal defense work he excels in other areas as well. He is a skilled civil and criminal litigator. Don't let his toughness as a litigator fool you because he is very approachable and considerate. Anyone looking for legal help would be fortunate to have Travis as their lawyer."
