Will and Trust Lawyer

Mr. Hawkins is patient and organized. He is helping us with wills and a trust, and has been much more attentive and upfront than any other legal professional we have worked with. Very good lawyer.

Estate Planning

Karl helped plan our estate, creating wills and advanced directives for my wife and me. It was a wonderful experience. He was well organized and explained everything we needed to know at each step in the process. He and his staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend him.

Excellent service

Mr. Hawkins helped my wife and I develop our will as well as form a joint revocable trust. He was thorough, helped us understand all steps in the process and provided clear instructions for how we should handle modifications or additions to each document in the future. We were pleased with all aspect...s of our experience.

Marvin Karl Hawkins, Jr.

Mr. Hawkins, Jr. was our estate planner and wrote our will. He and his staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. During the process, if we had questions after leaving a meeting with Mr. Harkins, we called or e-mailed our concerns and they were prompt in returning the information we needed.

Great know-how and caring service

I went to Karl Hawkins for help in rewriting a previous will. Due to his targeted insights and thorough knowledge of probate law, he not only answered my questions and concerns with honesty and intelligence, but he also guided me in filling some gaps that the earlier document had not addressed. His... dedication to my needs was sincere and earnest, making me feel that this document was as important to him as it was to me. I can now rest more easily knowing that my final wishes will be carried out the way in which I intend. Mr. Hawkins is truly a "legal eagle."

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.
