Testimonial

After meeting with Mike when I was looking for a lawyer to defend my DUI charge, I knew I had to hire him. I was 28, a teacher, and made a very stupid decision to drive after having a couple of drinks. Mike saved my license and he was the only one who spoke with total confidence that he would give me his absolute best effort and support. Any time I had a question, even a seemingly trivial one, he answered quickly and sincerely. Also, his assistant Nicole is wonderful and can answer questions about the case as well. He never made me feel judged or insecure about what I was going through. Mike Hawkins is the best at DUI defense--make no mistakes about it!
