Overview

Lynn Hawkins is a shareholder of Bean, Kinney & Korman, exclusively practicing family law. Her practice encompasses the full range of family law issues including divorce, property division, child custody and visitation, spousal and child support, spousal support payments, prenuptial agreements, and postnuptial agreements. Lynn provides compassionate but honest and solution-oriented legal advice and approaches to each matter. She understands the emotional and financial costs of prolonged negotiations and litigation and strives to provide each client with a path to resolution.

Lynn is certified by the Virginia Supreme Court as a family law mediator. Mediation is a process in which the two parties in a family law matter meet with a neutral third party, the mediator, to work to a mutually agreeable solution.

Prior to her focus as a family law attorney and divorce attorney, Lynn practiced complex commercial litigation, representing financial institutions in a range of matters in federal and state courts throughout the United States.

Lynn earned her B.A., with distinction, from Cornell University and her J.D., with honors, from George Washington University Law School. She is admitted to practice law in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
