Office is very disorganized

Over the course of a year ms Hawkins missed two court dates (as in she didn't bother to show up). Nobody is ever in office to answer the phone. Multiple voice mails were never returned. Questions asked directly to her secretary where often never answered. Several letters that she was asked to write... were never written. When directly asked to do something she never followed though and did it. The One time she finally got around to arguing before the judge she was totally unprepared. It sounded like a teenager trying to give a speech: " and a, um" totally embarrassing! Totally unprofessional!

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.
