“As professionals in the entertainment industry, we were all set to go on our first tour opening up for Talib Kweli and Nas during the week, and part of Rock The Bells festival on the weekends. The artist that I was representing in a managerial capacity was Jay Electronica. We decided to buy a van and follow Nas' bus along the tour. Only one problem with our van—it needed a new bumper!

I set out to a local junkyard on Schaefer in Detroit to find a bumper to get us all set for our tour. I pull up to the junkyard, and I was immediately attacked by the junkyard dog once I got out of the van. No, I'm not kidding—"The Junkyard Dog," the biggest German Shepherd I had ever seen. Of course I fought him off, but not before I sustained some serious wounds which required a hospital visit and stitches.

This incident couldn't have come at a worse time. Because of the injury sustained, it caused me to miss the first couple weeks of the tour—which meant I would lose some substantial wages. I knew about Johnny Hawkins because of his reputation in the entertainment industry around Detroit, as an executive producer and angel investor. Of course I asked around, and his reputation was stellar.

I knew I had some type of case and decided to give him a call. After consulting with him, I decided to hire him, even though some of the more marketed TV lawyers had reached out to me. I have no idea how they even found me. His honesty, integrity, and knowledge of the law were apparent, so I hired him on our first call. He was victorious in my case and got me PAID properly.

His knowledge and understanding of the law also got my wife PAID, which was amazing, as that was something we never considered was a possibility! My advice for anyone with a problem in his area of expertise is to hire Johnny Hawkins. They don't call him The Warrior Lawyer for nothing. He wins big against the giants!”
