Jonathan is what I refer to as a lawyer’s lawyer. He helps with law firm and lawyer related issues. I have used his exceptional guidance and work twice when I wanted to create an agreement between my firm and another lawyer/firm and have been completely pleased. He is the only lawyer I would go to for this type of advice and legal work.

Jonathan was recommended to me as "the lawyer's lawyer." Since that first interaction, he's exceeded expectations each time I've called. He's guided me and my firm through several unique situations, successfully resolved a split, and been solid and consistent general counsel. Jonathan is someone that I would recommend without hesitation. As a wise man said, "He's the lawyer's lawyer."

The firm, and Jonathan in particular, have been extremely helpful with my law firm and its periodic legal needs. LFGCs advice is always reasoned, focused and based on a current and well-researched understanding of the law and we rely upon this legal counsel to make our decisions. In short, when we have a legal question, the law firm we look to for counsel is LFGC - and we could not be more satisfied! I give Jonathan and his team an enthusiastic recommendation and regularly advise other attorneys to consult with LFGC on their own legal matters.

I highly recommend Jonathan Hawkins and his firm, Law Firm GC. I am one of the owners of a small law firm (8 attorneys). I have hired Jonathan's firm to handle several matters for our firm (operating agreement revision, contract and engagement letter reviews, employment contracts, and others). Jonathan did a great job each time, and I would hire him again in the future if the need arose. I also frequently refer clients and colleagues to his firm.
