5 /5 Byron Diel: Few of us really look forward to deal with a family law situation. When I began to look for a lawyer, I knew that I wanted someone who would understand the importance of my relationship with my son, and could feel some emotional connection to my case. From my first meeting with Erik, my confidence regarding my tricky custody case grew enormously. I began to believe that there was light at the end of the tunnel, and this belief turned out to be factually accurate. Erik has a deep knowledge of the law, and of human nature generally. Erik is a lawyer who is doing this work for the right reasons, and truly cares about making sure that his clients and their children get the most fair and best possible outcome from the court. I highly recommend Erik D Hawkins, Attorney at Law, and am extremely pleased with the work that he has done on my case.
