A Jacksonville practice that treats you like a neighbor

Hawthorne & Reed is a small Jacksonville practice built on doing right by the people who walk through our door. Most folks come to us during a stressful time, so our job is to make it simpler, explain things in plain language, and handle the hard parts for you.

We take on fewer clients on purpose, so the person you meet is the person who handles your matter. You'll always know where things stand, and you can reach a real person when you have a question.

We're proud to serve Jacksonville and the surrounding First Coast communities. Whatever you're facing, the first conversation is free, and there's no pressure to decide anything that day.

How soon can I get help?
Call and you'll usually reach a real person the same day, and we aim to get you in within 24 to 48 hours. If your matter is time-sensitive, tell us — we'll do our best to fit you in sooner.
What should I bring or have ready?
Bring any paperwork tied to your matter — a contract, court notice, or accident report — plus a photo ID. Don't have everything handy? Come anyway, and we'll tell you what we still need.
Do you handle a range of needs?
Yes. We handle family law, estate planning, personal injury, real estate, and small-business matters. If your situation falls outside what we do, we'll point you to someone we trust who can help.
