Facing criminal charges is a life-altering experience that can have profound implications on your future. At The Hawkins Law Group, we understand the gravity of your situation and are committed to providing the most vigorous defense possible. With over 15 years of experience in criminal law, our lead attorney has worked as a criminal appeals attorney, prosecutor, and defense attorney, giving us a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system. This extensive background allows us to develop tailored defense strategies designed to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.

Understanding Your Case

The first step in your defense is understanding the specifics of your case. Every criminal case is unique, and we treat it as such. We take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and gather all relevant information. Our thorough approach involves investigating the circumstances surrounding your charges, interviewing witnesses, examining evidence, and identifying any potential violations of your rights. This meticulous preparation is crucial for building a strong defense.

Strategic Defense Planning

Once we have a clear understanding of your case, we develop a strategic defense plan. Our extensive experience in criminal law enables us to anticipate the prosecution's tactics and counter them effectively. We explore all possible defenses, from challenging the legality of the evidence against you to questioning the credibility of witnesses. Our goal is to create reasonable doubt and protect you from wrongful conviction.

Navigating the Legal System

Navigating the criminal justice system can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with legal procedures. At The Hawkins Law Group, we guide you through every step of the process, from arraignment to trial. We explain the charges against you, the potential consequences, and your legal options in clear, understandable terms. Our team is always available to answer your questions and address your concerns, ensuring that you feel informed and supported throughout your case.

Plea Bargains and Negotiations

In some cases, negotiating a plea bargain may be in your best interest. A plea bargain can result in reduced charges or a lighter sentence, sparing you the uncertainty of a trial. Our attorney is skilled negotiators who will work to secure the most favorable terms possible. We will advise you on the pros and cons of accepting a plea deal versus going to trial, helping you make an informed decision.

Trial Representation

If your case goes to trial, you need a dedicated and experienced defense team on your side. At The Hawkins Law Group, we are committed to providing aggressive representation in court. We meticulously prepare for trial, crafting compelling arguments, cross-examining witnesses, and presenting evidence in your favor. Our goal is to challenge the prosecution's case at every turn and fight for your acquittal.

Post-Conviction Relief

Even if you have been convicted, your legal battle may not be over. Our firm also handles post-conviction relief, including appeals and motions for a new trial. We review your case for any legal errors that may have occurred during your trial and work to correct these injustices. Our goal is to give you a second chance at justice.
