Philip M Hawes
Attorney & Counselor





When you need an honest, thoughtful and experienced guide

What I Do . . . .

My primary practice is to provide estate planning and administration services which are summarized on the Practice Areas page. This site is intended to serve client introduction as well as education, and as a resource for the public. You will find information on many of your concerns and specific answers to common questions I have been asked over the years. Visit the News & Articles page for issues of current relevance, which I try to keep reasonably current. The Resources & Links page provides access to a variety of articles, both on this site and linked to relevant sites, where you will find intake information for new clients (refer to: Your Initial Consultation and One Lawyer, One Client ) and more comprehensive coverage in the areas of my practice.

Your initial consultation is FREE because the time we spend to get acquainted, discuss your goals and determine the services I need to provide for your specific project is truly a mutual interview!
