Reviews

I'm not the type of person to leave reviews. I mean, I'f I'm disappointed with my service in any aspect of life I typically just don't frequent that establishment in food service cases or just never spend money with that company again. I don't feel negative reviews do justice to the injustice that you received....anyways....I feel the need to basically let any parent male or female know...if you're involved in ANY TYPE of custody or divorce situation you SERIOUSLY NEED TO CONSIDER THIS AMAZING WOMAN. From Day 1 Lynn represented me as if I were her own brother, like seriously....she's a Thurgood Marshall Scholar for Christ's sake! Look her up, she's more than legit. She knows her stuff inside and out and in the courtroom SHE EMBARRASSES opposing attorneys!!! I'm not kidding, she is not cheap, however I find you get what you pay for in most aspects of life and in this circumstance Lynn more than produced! She didn't nickel and dime me for our correspondence via email or phone convo. She's an honest fair woman, mother of her own children and fighter for yours! I couldn't afford Lynn but used every penny of savings I had to retain and keep her for as long as I could! Literally, the law clerk of our trial ran after us outside after our custody trial to tell her she was the most amazing attorney she HAD EVER SEEN!!!! IM NOT KIDDING....I totally agreed! She works for pretty much the longest established/most reputable firm in Virginia (PERIOD). I'm an honest non biased individual.....Lynn is pretty much capable of walking on water....not joking. She is so skillful and knowledgeable it makes you feel calm and assured as soon as you speak with her and realize she means business. If you believe in reviews as do I, please contact this woman to at least meet with and consult with at the very least. My life is better now that I've had the pleasure of working with Lynn. And years afterwards, I'll text her with occasional questions etc. As I can no longer afford her amazing services and she is always very helpful, honest and punctual. Lynn saved my life pretty much and I'm in debted to her and want any prospective client to know ....Lynn is a robot Superhero! Not from this world...

I met with Lynn Hawkins for a consultation immediately after my separation. I was in a vulnerable spot, and she was cruel to me. I was traumatized and had to revisit that consultation every time I walked by her office (which was in my neighborhood), at least for a while. I didn't want to split the assets 50/50 because I was the sole contributor to the family (no children), and because roughly half of the assets in question were earned before the marriage. When I expressed to Lynn that I didn't want to split the assets 50/50, she said, in a sarcastic tone, "well, how do you want it to be split?" I said, "in accordance to our contributions to the marriage." Lynn retorted, "well, the court doesn't care about your contributions to the marriage." Lynn is wrong. The court cares. It's the first item in the VA statute on how to split assets. In fact, my case went to trial, and the court split the marital assets 70/30 in my favor, and granted me essentially all of the assets I entered the marriage with, well, what was left of it. Ultimately, I got about 90% of the assets in question. But what traumatized me the most was when Lynn said, "don't worry about losing your retirement assets, you have another 30 years to work." The dismissive and glib tone she said that in was awful. I'm 40. How can you condemn someone to a late retirement like that, someone who is literally crying in your office? Of course, I selected a different lawyer. One that won my case and knows the statute.

Ms, Hawkins was introduced to me as part of the law team helping me with my divorce. She is a fierce defender of the rights of her clients. She is sharp and witty. She was an associate of Mr. Korman, my main attorney. He certainly doesn't choose slackers to work under him. At first I was worried when so portions of my case were handed to her, but I was soon proven so woefully wrong. She was a perfect complement to Mr. Korman and represented him, the law firm, and herself, exhibiting respect, integrity, honestly and true grit. As a woman, she could empathize with me and the struggles I was going through. As a mother, she understood my motherly fears for my child in this horrific divorce. As an attorney, she and Korman were my Roman Legions fighting for me. I would not hesitate to seek her assistance again.

I was referred to Ms. Hawkins by another non family law attorney. I came to her with no knowledge of any marital finnaces or income of my ex as I was in an abusive relationship. I was also very scared of taking any steps that may emotionally harm me more. With Ms. Hawkin's smart negotiating skills and sound knowledege of family law, I was able to get the right documents from opposition and come to a settlement. When things were not moving, I followed her advice even when past intimidations were scaring me and what she said came through. She always available, answers every email, call, listens, is not pushy and very ethical. Her assistants are equally warm, kind and easy to work with. The location of the office is perfect, right near the court house and very accessible. Knowing that she knew the Arlington court system where my case would end up if not resolved through negotiation, it was very reasurring feeling of confidence.
