Mr. Hawkes handled my civil appeal, and his knowledge of appellate procedure was evident. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Appellate Practice gave me confidence. He drafted a solid brief that addressed the core legal arguments from the trial court. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. There were periods of several days where I received no updates, requiring me to follow up. While the final work product was professionally done, I sometimes felt out of the loop on strategy. For straightforward appellate matters, he is a capable attorney, but be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding client communication.
