Katie Hawkins is a former educator, having taught children of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds in Guatemala, Hong Kong, and rural South Louisiana.
Ms. Hawkins grew up in Central Illinois and attended high school and college in North Louisiana. Ms. Hawkins graduated summa cum laude from Louisiana Tech University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in English and Creative Writing. After watching several of her students struggle amid various legal battles, Ms. Hawkins began her legal education.

Ms. Hawkins began her legal career immersed in family law. In an effort to serve families of Texas better, she used her immigration experience from her internship at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid in Laredo, Texas, and her experience communicating with and representing whole families to begin her career in immigration. Ms. Hawkins now enjoys representing clients on a wide range of immigration matters.
Ms. Hawkins has experience writing and handling various legal claims, appeals, and litigation. As immigration is a field of law which changes often and holds many opportunities for improvement, Ms. Hawkins is excited to challenge unfairness, seek justice, and advocate for her clients.
Ms. Hawkins lives in Grandview, Texas, with her husband and son. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, reading, writing poetry, playing jazz clarinet, and exploring the zoos and museums in DFW with her family.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
