Highly recommend Joseph Hankins!!

Joseph Hankins helped me out with a litigation issue. He was very professional in handling this sensitive and very personal matter. I was pleased with how he stayed on top of all matters. His responses were efficient and prompt. He was honest and presented me with all of my options.

Smart, dedicated attorney

I have used Mr. Hankins for several estate planning issues. He provided great ideas to minimize present and future tax liabilities and maximize my assets. He completed the work efficiently and stayed in constant communication with me throughout the process. He is also very personable and a pleasure t...o work with. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

"Mr. Hankins clearly understands the importance of analyzing each case and the issues presented based on the specific facts and practical needs of his clients. I've reviewed his generous responses on AVVO and found them to be knowledgeable, well-reasoned and just what the person needed to hear to hear to take action. Although I only practice in Washington State, I often research attorneys in other states to provide referrals and obtain information. Mr. Hankins is an attorney I will contact if my clients have Indiana issues."

Family lawyer | May 03

Relationship: Friend

"Joseph and I have been close friends since the beginning of law school and I have had the privilege of witnessing his legal career flourish ever since. Even in a sluggish economy, Joseph was able to quickly obtain an attorney position at the high profile family law firm New & Lowinger, P.C. Joseph hit the ground running there and in no time was able to personally handle all aspects of family law proceedings, including mediation, trials and appeals. Due to his well-rounded legal skills, I would highly recommend Joseph to anyone in the Indianapolis area in need of legal services."

Relationship: Family member

"I have had the opportunity to see Joseph’s legal skills in action on numerous occasions. He has the ability to think through legal problems, and formulate insightful and novel solutions to these problems. He also works efficiently for his clients. This allows him to work effectively for his clients, while also being mindful of the client’s legal fees."

Litigation lawyer | Dec 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"The Commonwealth of Virginia's loss is the state of Indiana's gain! Joseph cut his teeth litigating and representing clients in a variety of complex family law and estate planning matters in Virginia, where he was truly a rising star in the legal profession. He's returned to his roots in the Midwest where he is certain to leave a lasting mark on the community and make a name for himself as a respected, trusted, down to Earth and incredibly talented attorney and counselor. Joseph possesses the four qualities all clients should seek in their legal representative: (1) depth of knowledge/legal acumen, (2) aggressive, yet practical and pragmatic litigation style, (3) gentle "bedside" manners, and (4) affordability. I highly recommend Joseph and endorse him unconditionally."

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
