Pros

Attentive and detail-oriented with an incredible memory, able to effectively represent clients

“Tina is extremely bright, loyal, trustworthy and diligent to do everything possible to fight for the best for me and my kids. She is attentive and very detail-oriented (with an incredible memory- how does she do that with a hundred cases?).”

Highly knowledgeable in family law, works hard to achieve favorable outcomes for clients

“She is very knowledgeable when it comes to family law and worked hard to get me what I wanted. Highly recommend!”

Honest and upfront, does not make unrealistic promises

“Tina WILL be realistic and won't promise you something she cannot provide- she will be honest with me and not getting my hopes up.”

Cons

Lack of responsiveness and communication, fails to keep clients informed

“She avoided ALL of my emails with questions regarding legal representation & how to proceed with our Court matter. I was only able to get basic responses and interaction with her staff member, Ann.”

Unprepared for court appearances, leading to poor performance

“Ms. Hawthorne repeatedly dropped the ball when it came to being prepared for court dates. I would ask a simple task be handled, & she arrived at court telling me she didn't have the information needed to pursue.”

Unethical practices, including lying to client and failing to refund unused retainer fees

“I filed an attorney grievance for her unethical standards pursuant to the Attorney Code of Conduct. Ms. Hawthorne lied in that case & claimed she WAS representing me.”
