Hired Attorney Tara B. Hawkins

Working with Tara has been a pleasure. I’ve been facing some pretty serious charges. Ms. Hawkins has been there every step of the way. She’s professional but also, compassionate and caring. She’s done everything she can and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I would hire her again in a New York minute.
