Deborah Hawkins runs an incredibly unprofessional office. She's almost never on time, her office is extremely cluttered and she has no idea where any of her client information is half the time. Shes extremely hostile to her employees and doesn't care if she raises her voice while clients are in attendance. In my opinion she really is in this just for the money. She only cares about herself and how she can make another dollar.

My wife and I were very pleased with Deborah Hawkins, atty. We used her services to prepare several important documents. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and we would recommend her highly.

Reluctantly signed with Deborah, she could not remember who I was all 4 times I talked to her, in person or over the phone. When I opted out of her contract the office did not give me back the paperwork I gave them, I requested it again, and still have not received it. ‍♀️

Deborah was informative in the information I needed! She is a very kind person who I feel likes to get the job well done!

This law office was very cluttered and unprofessional. I felt like my case was a low priority. She never returned calls and I had to persistently attempt to contact her. The biggest thing was that she was rude and disrespectful not only me, but her staff. I recall her raising her voice at me, and that was the end of it for me. Zero stars.

Deborah Hawkins is the worst attorney I have ever encountered. Her office is very unorganized and she is not passionate about her clients. It's my perception that Deborah is standoffish to people of color. Everytime I asked her a question for clarity, her demeanor and body language changed as if she was afraid of a black man. She lost my case to a petitioner who didn't even have a lawyer. She started blaming me instead of defending me. I thought lawyers had leverage against someone defending themselves?? Another attorney stated, "that's a lawyers nightmare to lose to someone who isn't represented." When I asked her what went wrong, she acted as if I was bothering her. She got loud with me in the hallway in front of people and walk away. My wife and I were shocked that an attorney who took our money would act this way. This firm will take your money and think nothing of it! Beware.

Debra Hawkins at Hawkins law did a fabulous job for me. I think she is a great attorney. Debra got me custody of my girls and I live out of state. I think she is great at what she does. I would recommend her to any of my friends. She got me great results twice.

This firm does not give any communication unless you repeatedly ask for it. They do not return calls or emails and they have been paid up front months ago but do not treat you with respect. it's unfortunate and i believe thats its the staff not so much the attorney causing their issues.

If 0 stars were an option, that's what this firm would get. I made the poor decision to go back to this place for a 2nd consultation through my workplace legal plan, which I pay good money for. I was clear why I was coming back (I had legal documents that hadn't been formalized the previous visit). I just wanted a VERY brief legal overview/opinion. If I was out of line expecting that from my plan, just tell me. Instead, I was all but thrown out of the office as Deborah repeatedly said, "No. No. I won't do this." She was all false sympathy until she realized I had been in to see her before - in other words, when I looked like dollar signs. She had offered me a retainer quote last time, but went out of her way to say she was doubling it now. Her tone was brutally harsh and exasperated, as if I had done something offensive to her personally. I was already feeling vulnerable - going through a divorce and being out of my element in a legal office. She made me feel utterly worthless. And finally, there are paintings leaning on walls, not even hanging. There are boxes overflowing with papers. The environment is just as unprofessional as the people who work there. And, to backtrack, while I sat in the waiting room, the receptionist repeatedly sighed angrily, huffing and puffing to herself. She clearly bears the brunt of the bad energy there. Save your time and money - go ANYWHERE else.

Debra Hawkins, is a very poor attorney. I put money money up to retain her. I did not think she was the right attorney for me. When she withdrew, she took every penny of the retainer fee. You need to beware, and check around before using her. The retainer fee was several thousand dollars. It cost me about a thousand dollars for each court appearance. And all she did was continue it. Would have been better off with a public defender. This attorney is in it for the money and not for her clients.
