Michael Hawk
Co-Founder & Senior Trial Attorney
30 Years of Texas Trial Experience on Your Side
Michael Hawk has spent 30 years in Texas courtrooms. As co-founding partner of Edgett Hawk, he leads the firm's most complex personal injury litigation. His trial record across Texas spans decades of deposing witnesses, cross-examining expert witnesses, presenting cases to juries, and forcing insurance companies to pay what injured people deserve.
A Reputation That Changes Settlement Conversations
What sets Michael apart is not just years of experience — it is what he has done with them. He has built a trial reputation that changes settlement negotiations before they even begin. When an insurance company sees Michael Hawk listed as lead trial attorney, they know that undervaluing the case means going to trial against someone who has done it hundreds of times.
That reputation is not accidental. It is the result of three decades of preparation, advocacy, and results in Texas courts.

Michael's Approach to Client Relationships
Michael is direct, honest, and completely focused on outcome. He does not make promises about settlement amounts — he makes promises about effort, preparation, and advocacy. And he keeps them.
At Edgett Hawk, Michael is the reason the other side knows we mean business. Every case he touches is prepared as if it will go before a jury — because that is the only preparation that produces real results for injured people.
