About Carl G
Carl G Hawkins opened his own practice in 2017 and has since run a small firm based in Jacksonville. He built the office around a compact set of services and a straightforward approach to client work. He oversees the day-to-day operations and serves as the principal attorney at the Law Office of Carl G. Hawkins, PLLC.
His academic path began at the University of South Florida, where he completed undergraduate studies before moving on to Florida Coastal School of Law for his juris doctor. At Florida Coastal he also earned a Business Certificate, a credential that signals additional coursework in corporate and commercial subjects. That combination of a general legal education and specialized business training informs how he prepares cases and advises clients.
Hawkins is licensed to practice in Florida and in the District of Columbia. He maintains an active association with the Jacksonville Bar Association, where he participates in local professional activities and programming. Peers describe him as methodical in his case preparation and direct in client communications.
He founded the Law Office of Carl G. Hawkins, PLLC to provide focused legal services without the bureaucracy of a large firm. The practice handles matters that arise in both state and federal contexts, reflecting the dual-jurisdiction admissions. Cases range in size and complexity, and Hawkins often works one-on-one with clients to map out practical options and next steps. He prefers a clear, plainspoken approach in meetings and written work.
The Business Certificate he earned at law school plays a practical role in the office’s offerings. It informs transactional review, contract interpretation and the kinds of organizational issues small businesses bring to an attorney. Hawkins balances transactional assignments with other civil matters that require close attention to detail.
Outside client work he remains involved in the local bar and in community legal events. That engagement helps him stay current on procedural developments and on topics affecting small practitioners in Florida. He continues to run his firm and accepts matters in the jurisdictions where he is licensed. He currently focuses his practice on business-related matters and civil legal work across Florida and the District of Columbia.
