I consulted with atty Haskins today and found him to be knowledgeable, transparent, honest, and flexible. He spent time on my consultation, making sure to fully understand my situation. He gave advice I’ve never been told, which empowered me in the understanding of appropriate paths forward with my case. I definitely feel much better after speaking with him!! Highly recommend.

I engaged Jesse to represent us in South Carolina in a minor commercial dispute. Jesse handled everything promptly, under a clear and affordable fixed-fee arrangement, and was able to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion without litigation through a few email exchanges with the other party. Jesse did detailed research before drafting his correspondence and presented everything in a way that made our position clear. I was satisfied that I chose him and would work with him again if we need representation in a similar matter in the future.

People that post lies across social media to take revenge and destroy a reputation, like saying someone is an “alcoholic” when they don’t drink, should absolutely be sued! Do these people have any idea how much money that will eventually cost them in legal fees to defend themselves. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands the judge decides to award. It’s fairly easy to prove who these posters are! Posting such things is not covered by the first amendment, freedom of speech, it’s defamation and libel. Thanks for your service! You are doing great work!

Thank you so much for supporting the raw milk movement! Small farmers need support from great lawyers like you. I’m happy to know that you’re doing amazing work and will support you because of that. Small dairy can’t stay in business without people like you behind them. You’re doing important work for the hardest working people out there!

What a fantastic attorney standing up for the rights of people who are farmers. Family farms trying to survive in the face of huge corporations who would like them all to simply "go away". My hats off to Atty. Haskins for a job well done.
