Personal injury attorney Johnny L. Hawkins is a native of Southeastern Michigan, and has spent most of his life in the area. Growing up in Pontiac, as the eldest child, he made it a point to always look out for his family and closest friends; as a young man in the U.S. Army, he continued his commitment to protecting and serving others as a platoon leader.
After completing his military service, Johnny knew that he wanted to continue doing what he had always done: standing up for the rights of others and speaking up for those who needed a voice. After a college professor encouraged him to make a difference in the world, Johnny completed his bachelor’s degree and went on to law school at Detroit College of Law, graduating in 1996. Shortly thereafter, he established J.L. Hawkins Law to represent victims of serious injuries.
Becoming a personal injury attorney was a natural fit for Johnny’s nature as a helper and protector, and the skills he developed in the military have served him and his clients well. In the military, preparation can be the difference between life and death; in a legal matter, it is often the difference between victory and defeat. Injury victims often depend on a settlement or judgment for their future financial security. Knowing what’s at stake for his clients, Johnny refuses to be outworked by opposing counsel. His preparation makes him an effective negotiator, and when necessary, a fierce advocate at trial.
Johnny’s tenacity has earned him the nickname of “the Warrior Lawyer.” He goes to battle for his clients because he knows and genuinely cares about them. Unlike personal injury attorneys and firms that take on a lot of clients but devote only a little time to each, Johnny is selective. He accepts fewer clients, so that he can take as much time as necessary to listen to them, put them at ease, and answer their questions.
It’s important to Johnny that clients feel comfortable and know what to expect as their case unfolds. He develops each case fully, to achieve the best outcome and greatest security for his client. As Johnny observes, “When you put people first, results follow.” He has the track record to back that philosophy up.
At the end of the day, there is no greater satisfaction for Johnny Hawkins than seeing the relief on a client’s face when they realize their claim was successful and they will have the resources they need to rebuild their life after an injury.
