Have you been charged with an offence?

I felt very warm and welcomed, with absolutely no judgment. Mr. Hawkins got to the bottom of things quickly and made it really easy to reach him. As someone who needed a lawyer for the first time, I was very comfortable throughout the process. He went over everything in great detail and even took the time to learn about my history, even if it wasn’t directly related to the case—he genuinely wanted to know me as a person.

I really appreciated his approach: he was serious when needed, but also had a good laugh here and there, which made me feel at ease. The communication was amazing—if I called the office, I always received a call or email back right away, and I never had to wait on anything.

Absolutely would recommend him to anyone needing help. He gets a million stars from me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

James was very professional and did everything excellently. He went above and beyond, taking the time to go through my case thoroughly and making sure I understood all of my options. Whenever I didn’t understand something, he explained it clearly and made sure I felt confident moving forward.

The communication was also excellent—I always received timely responses. I would absolutely recommend James to others.

To me, it was an exceptional service; I always had great confidence. He was excellent at answering all my questions; I always had confidence in his judgment. I always had a positive experience and always felt reassured. He took the time to explain the legal process and answered each question I had with care. I would 100 percent recommend him to others.

My experience went very smoothly—it was professional, and everyone at the office was so kind. Overall, it was a great experience. When I had the chance to sit down and talk with Mr. Hawkins, he explained all of my options thoroughly, gave me his advice, but ultimately let me make the final decision that I was comfortable with, which I really appreciated.

In the past, I had a different lawyer who wasn’t as friendly, but Mr. Hawkins was the complete opposite. He never shamed me for what happened and was genuinely kind and supportive throughout the process. Communication was also perfect—it was always so easy to get in touch, and I never felt left waiting.

I would 1000 percent recommend him to others!

James did an amazing job and was very thorough. From the very first day to the very last, he guided us through our options and the process with care and clarity. What I appreciated most was that he achieved an excellent outcome for us, and he made the entire experience much easier with how approachable and easy to deal with he was.

Even if I couldn’t reach him right away, he always called back promptly—his communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend James to others.

I received top-notch service from James — he truly went above and beyond for me. He was incredibly personal and thoughtful; he even brought me a tie to court. James was always on the ball and went to the ends of the earth to help with my charges. His communication skills were excellent — if I couldn’t reach him right away, he always got back to me within a day or so. He was detailed, thorough, and consistently provided the best options for my situation. James is admirable in every sense — supportive, respectful, and always aligned with what I wanted. I truly appreciate everything he did for me.

James was incredibly easy to work with and truly understood what I was going through. He listened carefully to everything I said and handled my case with great attention to detail. He was able to have very serious charges reduced to just a few months, which was an outcome I am extremely grateful for.

James is genuinely one of the best lawyers I have ever had. I would choose him above anyone else. Whenever I called the office, someone answered quickly, and they always returned my messages promptly. James was transparent about my options, explained the possible outcomes clearly, and guided me through every step of the process.

I was very happy with the result at trial. Among all the other lawyers I’ve worked with, James stood out for how easy he was to communicate with and how well he explained everything to me. He is truly one of the best lawyers I’ve had the chance to work with.

Even though I had a criminal matter, Mr. Hawkins does not cast judgment on anyone and is very supportive. He is amazing at explaining the process of things and it is interesting how Mr. Hawkins will give legal advice from an objective standpoint. We may think one thing is best for us, but Mr. Hawkins will take the time to make us understand why another option may be better. He is a good advocate for the client’s best interest and what they may need. 

Despite how busy he is, his communication was great. He would be the first lawyer I would recommend to anybody involved in a criminal matter. Fantastic advocate.

I had recently reached out to Hawkins Law to represent me in my legal matter. Mr. Hawkins was very knowledgeable and confident in this field. Throughout the entire process he communicated clearly and advised me in both a professional and personable manner. I would highly recommend Mr. Hawkins to family, friends or anyone who required these services. It was a great relief to have Mr. Hawkins in my corner! Thanks again!

James was introduced to me by another lawyer and I couldn’t be more satisfied with his services. The moment he was introduced to me I knew I was in good hands. He is very professional, responsive and reassuring. Even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and having court dates pushed back, I thought my case was going to take even longer. But the moment James was able to get back to attacking my case he did and was able to deliver me with my amazing news way sooner than I expected! I am very blessed to have had him by my side and would not have had it any other way.

Thank you so much for your support and service for my criminal charges laid against me. You have done such tremendous supportive work, which will help me to refer my friends and colleagues to you with the highest regards.

     During my divorce proceedings, my ex-partner initiated vexatious litigation against me in both family and criminal court. My family lawyer referred me to James Hawkins, explaining that he’s the best criminal defence lawyer in Alberta. James lived up to his reputation. Before the trial began, he obtained a stay of proceedings, the equivalent of a finding of not guilty at law. In doing so, James saved me thousands of dollars and the public embarrassment of a trial. I highly recommend James’ service.
