Marvin Karl Hawkins Jr.

Karl has done only a small amount of legal work for me, but my history with him as a businessman goes back many years. He is honest and reliable. He will tell you the straight story, and I trust him implicitly. The legal work he has done for me was done quickly and competently. If he can't handle you...r legal issue, he'll get you to someone who can.

We met with Mr Hawkins based only on a referral thru my employer assist program. Not knowing what to expect, we were extremely happy with all aspects of Mr Hawkins and his staff. Knowing we were leaving town shortly after our final review, Mr Hawkins and his staff went the extra step to get the final... documents to us prior to our departure.

Several years ago, Karl helped me with the Missouri portion of my sister's estate. It was a small estate but it was incredibly complicated because of a few odd financial decisions my sister had made. I was selling a house in MO which my sister, brother and I co-owned and my sister died without puttin...g an addendum on the deed that her children were her beneficiaries. She was dead, so she couldn't sign off on the sale and she hadn't named any beneficiaries.....Ack! You see this is already too complicated to explain and attempting to do so causes the slight tremble in my hands that occurred during this time to reappear. All i can say is that Karl handled this like a pro - he was very calm when speaking to a frantic, inarticulate executor (me) and was able to solve all the problems involved very cleverly and quickly. My mother recently died in Missouri and i immediately went to Karl for help with her estate. It was a very simple estate because my mother didn't make odd financial decisions and Karl did his usual excellent job with it. I would recommend him highly. I have no more family in Missouri that would dare to name me as their executor (thank god), so I won't see Karl again but I will always remember how much he helped me during a very difficult time in my life.
