About

Since passing the NC Bar Exam I have devoted my entire practice to the area of Family Law.  In 2013 I was certified by the NC State Bar Board of Legal Specialization as a "Board Certified Specialist" in the area of Family Law.*   Over my twelve (12+) years of experience in the family law area I have been fortunate to develop a thriving litigation practice spanning a number of NC Judicial Districts. Most importantly, I have made positive impacts on the lives of my clients by zealously pursuing their interests in times of crisis.When clients choose to place trust and confidence in me - I take it as a serious responsbility and a high honor. *For more on NC Board Certified Specialization see link below:https://www.nclawspecialists.gov/for-the-public/the-benefit-of-hiring-a-specialist/e the opportunity to make a difference

Mr. Hawley and his associates are amazing! I was extremely nervous for our case but Lee and his assistant made sure every step of the way we knew what to expect. Mr. Hawley is an extremely through and well respected lawyer. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of our case!

I can not speak highly enough of Lee Hawley. He helped me in a divorce case having come from another attorney prior. He jumped right in my case, handled things in a timely most professional manner. He represented me in another county which I was told attorneys from only that county were favored and that was not the case. Lee was so well respected and handled the case with such knowledge and so professional. I became to know him in my long drawn out case on a somewhat personal level and was quite a up standing family man. He is the best of the best and I can’t say enough good things about him. Exceptional lawyer and highly recommended.

I was referred to Lee Hawley from a friend of my mother. I, not expecting my marriage to end so abruptly, had no idea where to look or who to speak to regarding legal counsel for my separation. Once I was served an intial draft of a separation agreement from my wife, I knew I had to make a decision. I was lucky to find Mr. Hawley. He met with me within 2 days of my initial email, laid out what his role would be if I chose him to represent me, and was completely upfront about what it would cost financially. Once I officially hired him, he worked diligently and communicated quickly and clearly with myself and my wife's legal representation to find agreeable terms that both parties signed off on. From the start I felt confident that Mr. Hawley was not only competent but would go to bat for me and what I desired to accomplish in our revisions to the legal document that would basically govern my life for the foreseeable future. I could not be more pleased with his work

I cannot describe the complete peace of mind that hiring Mr. Lee Hawley brought when I turned my extremely complex and difficult legal case over to him. His level of incredible expertise and vast knowledgeable base was most impressive. But – the one thing that meant the most to me was the level of personability, accessibility, and the ‘down to earth’ approach that he had with me during each and every interaction. My case had many complexities that involved not only my personal life but my professional livelihood as well. Mr. Hawley was always mindful of both and provided guidance to navigate whatever came our way. Most lawyers would be intimidated to take on such a complex situation similar to what I had found myself in. But, from the initial consultation and through the many months of ongoing litigation, Mr. Hawley took my case, embraced all of the moving parts, and pulled all of it together to achieve a successful outcome for me. I applaud the effort that he dedicated to my case and ensuring that everything ran on time, smoothly, and conveniently. Often, Mr. Hawley would initiate contact to ‘check in’ with me and collaborate so we were always on the same page. I found it to be most impressive that he has a direct phone line to his office that he personally answers. If for some reason he couldn’t immediately answer my call, his voicemail was updated daily so I knew that he was either in court or simply tied up in another appointment. His paralegal Jamie is simply fantastic as well. I received timely e-mail communications along with every pertinent document for my own personal reference. If Mr. Hawley wasn’t immediately available and I needed something urgently – I could speak with her and she would either facilitate my request to him or assist me herself. Looking back, I am confident that my outcome in court was as successful as it was because of Mr. Hawley. I credit the success in his work not only to his vast knowledge of Family Law but to his level of complete confidence, professional persona, and compassion towards what I was experiencing. I am thankful to have had Mr. Hawley walk with me through this difficult period in my life and highly recommend him with pleasure to anyone needing legal representation and counsel.

I cannot express my level of gratitude for the dedication, commitment, and attention to detail that Lee gave to me and my family throughout this challenging time. I was recommended to Lee through another attorney in Greensboro and I couldn’t be more thankful! As a working professional, it became difficult to manage my children, career, and a high-conflict separation. Although, I did it with the support of Lee and his paralegal Jamie. What I value most about Lee is that he gave me the best legal advice based on the decisions that I was making. He didn’t tell me how to live my life, he rolled with the choices I was making to establish a stable life for my children and myself. Then he built our case around my current situation, not what the “preferred” household arrangement “should” be. He worked to represent me in an exhausting 4 day custody trial in which we came out on top. Every time I kiss my two boys at night, I remember the support system from Lee and his team of professionals. If you are looking for an attorney that is fully invested in your needs, attentive, and not in it just for the money, then Lee is the attorney for you! I enthusiastically recommend Lee to anyone in the Triad Greensboro/High Point area. His knowledge, respect in the county, and professionalism are truly unmatched.

Lee did an amazing job representing me throughout my divorce and custody arrangements. From the very first phone conversation through the end of my very difficult divorce; Lee was professional, honest, and extremely supportive. I could not have asked for better service or a better outcome and can never really express the depth of my appreciation for this attorney. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that is in need of this service.

Separation is something that can be sudden and unexpected for many folks. Unfortunately, this was the case for me. From the first consultation with Lee it was clear that he was drawing from a lot of experience. Together with Lee and his team we quickly formulated a strategy and a plan of action based on my desire for a quick settlement while maintaining zero alimony liability. Lee was always available to answer any questions I had throughout the process and always showed great understanding to any concerns. I’m thankful that I went to Lee first when looking for legal help. In my case, the process was very smooth and we reached a fair settlement very quickly while minimizing the overall amount owed to my ex-spouse. This saved me a lot of pain and allowed me to focus on moving forward. I would highly recommend Lee for anyone going through a separation.

I had a very complicated case. Being an involved and " terrified " father; facing separation/divorce; not knowing what to do; I decided it was time to hire an attorney. I scrambled ( in one week ) to find the right person to trust my sensative personal information and complex situation too. I paid for consultations with four different attorneys; some of which, were revered " to be feared ". Lee Hawley was the second of the four and after much consideration and gut checking, I hired Lee Hawley and Wyatt-Early-Harris-Wheeler as my choice. My course, and litigation process was a long, difficult and multi-faceted proces. Lee handled every detail with professionalism and integrity. I never felt alone! Lee Hawley was caring and very straightforward, responsive, and professional. Reply contact on my concerns were quick and on point. My case was very ugly!! I had the opportunity to witness Lee Hawley in the court room " Often ". On two occasions, I watched two of the area's considered " TOP and EXPENSIVE " Attorneys, acknowledge Lee and treat him with the utmost respect! In my case personally, my ex hired two different attorneys and Lee was very professional in handling and " trumping" them both. Lee is amazing in the courtroom. The judge who tried my case clearly respected Mr. Hawley; and basically awarded " us " all sensative request/concerns. Especially pertaining to my children. I have an attorney I can trust for all my endeavors, either domestic or business - for life. Lee C. Hawley is simply brilliant!!
