Miranda K. Hawkins

Expert guidance through a complex estate settlement

I engaged Miranda Hawkins to assist with my late father's estate, which involved a family trust, a small business interest, and property in two states. From our first meeting, her 26 years of experience were evident. She patiently explained Colorado probate law and the nuances of trust administration in a way that was clear without being condescending. Her recognition in Trusts and Estates by Best Lawyers was well-earned; she navigated a dispute with a beneficiary with a firm but diplomatic approach that kept the process from becoming adversarial. The documents she prepared were meticulous, and her advice on tax implications saved our family a significant amount. My only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times to emails could stretch to two business days, though her assistant was always good about acknowledging receipt. Overall, working with Miranda at Hawkins & Gordon provided immense peace of mind during a stressful time. Her deep knowledge of Denver's legal landscape and her practical, solution-oriented mindset make her an excellent choice for estate planning and probate matters.
