Justin Spizman and his team do an incredible job of assessing the challenge and creating a the best strategy to achieve the targeted objectives in each specific situation and case. They were organized, clear in their goals for me - while also detailing best and worse case scenarios,m. I felt my best interests were always at the forefront of their arguments and I had an attorney that truly cared. I would definitely use Justin and his team again!

Hawkins law firm is the best law firm in this country, Justin Spizman ans Mike Hawkins are great attorneys. They always have your best interest with the greatest advices. I’ve delt with Justin for years even referred couple of my friends, they make sure they protect you. I recommend %100000000000.00 infinity percent. FYI: they didn’t ask me to leave a review, they’ve never have.
Disappointed with their service and the outcome. My wife was rear-ended and the vehicle was totaled. From this accident my wife had minor brain injuries. We followed the firm’s instructions throughout the process. At the end of the settlement we still had an outstanding debt of over $4000. I don’t think the case was a priority and there were many instances where we were told one thing to then find out later something completely different. I would not recommend.
*Update This is approximately a week since we received the settlement and closed this case.
My wife got an email saying that I am all of a sudden required to sign a release of liability document otherwise our settlement will become null and void and we will have to pay back the portion of money we received (which is only a 3rd of the total settlement amount) to them. Due to the fact that this was not asked initially and I was not involved in the accident, I told her to let them know I will have to look into it before signing. With that, Justin responded expressing his frustration with my supposed attitude towards the case and the fact that I don’t want to just blindly sign the document. In my research, I found out that sometimes the spouse of the injured party can open their own claim and as a result insurance companies sometimes require both signatures to ensure that the settlement is complete and the injured party has given up their right to any future claim. Now obviously I’m no lawyer, but if this is true, you would think that it would have been something that our legal representation would have suggested so that their client isn’t left in debt after suffering in an accident where they were not at fault. Justin seems to be more concerned about a bad review than ensuring that his client isn’t left in debt after a case of this nature. This outcome could have been better, I am sure.

Justin Spizman & his team were brilliantly easy to work with — they took the time to understand my circumstances and the situation at hand, outlined my options which allowed me to make decisions with clarity, and were punctual on their follow up. He helped me get my violations reduced to next to nothing and I felt comfortable and in good hands throughout the entire process. Highly recommend working with this firm! Thank you!

Don’t look any further if you want the best service and results. Justin has helped me numerous times getting my violations reduced or thrown out altogether. Obviously has a great relationship with the courts / judges, the results speak for themselves. Couldn’t be more pleased and definitely highly recommend this firm.

Want to thank the Hawkins Spizman and Fortas team for the way they handled my case. Justin was in constant communication with me on the status of my case, and could tell how respected he was by the judges in the courtroom. The level of professionalism Justin and his team exudes was like nothing I have ever seen. You won’t find a better attorney team in Atlanta.

TERRIBLE - AMATEUR. I interviewed several attorney and Justin Spizman was the worst. He is smug, arrogant and comes across like a know-it-all. I was warned that he had this reputation but wanted to give benefit of the doubt. All Justin cares about is getting you to sign a contract and sending in a retainer. He doesn't care about your case. Be warned. If you're looking for just an AVERAGE, SUB-PAR attorney, he's your guy. Do yourself a favor and find a real attorney that actually cares about you. Oh, did some research and turns out he failed the bar exam, more than once.

Awesome experience! Got arrested for 2 misdemeanors and after hiring Scott to fight them for me I was very unsure what was going to happen. He fought it for 2 years non stop and never gave up until he got everything dropped and the outcome was amazing! He stuck to his word and demanded what he wanted in that court room! Would definitely recommended him!!

My brother was charged with Voluntary Manslaughter in Paulding County. I had hired another lawyer to represent him and after meeting with my brother for maybe 20 minutes, that lawyer informed me that my brother would likely serve 15-20 years in prison since he gave a "confession." I was absolutely stunned as this was a self-defense case and my brother had been attacked by a person with a long history of abusive behavior and aggression. Through the recommendations of family law attorneys I work with, I found Justin. The first meeting with Justin immediately put my family and I at ease. Justin brought in special counsel in Paulding County so that we would have someone who was familiar with the inner workings of the Paulding County court system. Contemporaneously with hiring Justin, and before releasing our previous attorney, the District Attorney made a bond offer to my brother in exchange for taking the preliminary hearing off. The previous attorney suggested we take it, Justin suggested we have the preliminary hearing. We had the preliminary hearing and obtained crucial information to assist in my brother's defense that we otherwise would not have had. Unfortunately, bond was denied at that hearing, but we were in this for the long haul and to clear my brother's name, not to instantly release him from jail. Thanks to Justin's perseverance and the information we obtained at the preliminary hearing, when the Grand Jury met to indict my brother, he was no billed. The Grand Jury found that my brother acted in self-defense and the charges were dropped. My family and I felt that Justin fought hard for my brother, he listened to him and to us, and even when we had our melt downs and were completely frustrated, he understood. I cannot recommend Justin Spizman enough and am so thankful that we placed our faith in him.

I've never been in any serious trouble in my life outside of a suspended license. I was charged with simple battery in March of 2017. I body slammed a guy on concrete stairs for harassing my niece. It was all caught on camera and I was immediately arrested. He also threatened to shoot my family. I was afraid for my freedom and my family. I'm the sole breadwinner of my family. We could not afford for me to serve any jail time. I have a friend who is an attorney. She referred me to another popular firm. The lead attorney acted as if he was doing me a favor so I decided to search the net after work. I found Justin Spizman through a referral service. The referral service said someone would contact me. Attorney Spizman called/tex me that night. After the conversation, I was able to have peace again and my wife was relieved. He even let me split my fees within 30 days. Four months later my case was dismissed. I only went to court one time. He got me out of the initial court appearance. It seemed he knew everyone in the courthouse. I will never get into trouble again but life is so unpredictable. I had no plans of getting arrested that day. Attorney Spizman was there for me.

From the moment I met the team at Hawkins Spizman and Kilgo, I felt much better about my situation. They were very efficient at hearing my story, gathering the facts, analyzing an effective strategy to deal with the situation, and executing that strategy in order to obtain the best outcome possible that protects my future. I really cannot recommend them any higher. This is the “go to” legal team.

Mr. Spizman is a wonderful lawyer, he is very confident and knows exactly what he is doing. He was amazing during every step of the process. He is always there to answer questions and he is willing to go above and beyond. His advice throughout the process ended up saving me so much money and gave me better results that I could have hoped for. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer during the this horrible crisis I got myself into. I absolutely recommend him, you would be crazy to go anywhere else. He is also very quick and timely with all tasks and makes sure you are aware of everything going on. Great qualities when you are worried about your future and need answers
