Family Law Attorney Jeff Hawkins

Hello, I’m Jeff Hawkins, one of the attorneys at Slater & Zurz, LLP. I have lived in Ohio for most of my life and graduated from Ohio Northern School of Law in 1987 after completing my undergraduate degree at Youngstown State University in 1983. I practiced law in Findlay, Ohio, for 18 years before joining Slater & Zurz, LLP in 2006.

Currently, a significant portion of my legal practice is dedicated to domestic relations law, which encompasses a wide range of issues, including divorces, dissolutions, legal separations, annulments, child support, spousal support, child custody, child visitation, grandparent rights, and various other family matters.

More About Jeff

I’m originally from Birmingham, Michigan just outside of Detroit. I attended the Ohio State University for two years and graduated from Youngstown State University with degrees in Economics and Political Science. I received my law degree from Ohio Northern University, Pettit College of Law.

My father’s dream was to become an attorney and that’s what really sparked my interest. He had attended Harvard Law School but answered the call of World War II and joined the U.S. Army. He was never able to finish his legal education. While a part of me wanted to fulfill my father’s dreams, my legal practice is so much more than that. It’s about helping my clients make their lives better using my legal skills and experience.
