Absolute Pro

Erik has an exhaustive knowledge of Divorce law. I had unique situation that several other attorneys struggled with. I spoke to Erik, and from the first meeting it was clear that he knew the law, and he could think creatively and strategically in applying it.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Smart, tough, and compassionate.

Few of us really look forward to deal with a family law situation. When I began to look for a lawyer, I knew that I wanted someone who would understand the importance of my relationship with my son, and could feel some emotional connection to my case. From my first meeting with Erik, my confidence re...garding my tricky custody case grew enormously. I began to believe that there was light at the end of the tunnel, and this belief turned out to be factually accurate. Erik has a deep knowledge of the law, and of human nature generally. Erik is a lawyer who is doing this work for the right reasons, and truly cares about making sure that his clients and their children get the most fair and best possible outcome from the court. I highly recommend Erik D Hawkins, Attorney at Law, and am extremely pleased with the work that he has done on my case so far.

Fantastic Advice

I met with Erik Hawkins on three occasions to discuss an issue I was having with an acquaintance. The situation was complex and he gathered the information, made me feel very comfortable and returned with sound advice. I appreciate the fact that he was very thorough and clearly spent time researchin...g my issues and gave clear advice afterward.

Excellent estate planning

I was nervous about beginning the process of writing a will and estate planning. I found Erik Hawkins and he put my mind at ease. He walked me through every step, helped me understand my options, and made sure I was comfortable with all the decisions I was making. He was very patient and very thoroug...h. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for help with estate planning.

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.
