Criminal client review

Attorney Donald Hicks is an outstanding attorney. The representation I experienced was excellent. He always returns calls and actually listens to your side of the story. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome with my case. I would recommend him to anybody in... need of good criminal representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the pleasure of sitting second chair to Mr. Hicks on a capital murder case. Working with Don and learning from him showed me a whole new level of lawyering. Not to say he isn't great on the little cases but when someones life is on the line there really is no one better then Don Hicks. I endorse this lawyer."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
