"I would recommend Attorney Hawkins publicly, he doesn’t feel like a traditional attorney. He is someone who cares about doing the right thing for his clients. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have been able to get through a lot of life situations. I now have him helping me with all legal matters. — Darius J."
