About Jeremiah Hawkes:

Jeremiah has been practicing law since being sworn into the Florida Bar in April 2001, after he graduated from Florida State College of Law. He was an Assistant State Attorney for 5.5 years and General Counsel for the Florida House of Representatives for 2.5 yrs. He has worked as In-house counsel for the Pasco Sheriff’s Office since 2009. This diverse experience has prepared him for being a judge by exposing him to many areas of the law including criminal law, civil law, labor and employment law and intergovernmental relations.

Jeremiah lives in Pasco county with his wife Holly and children Zeke and Verity. It is important to him to support a judicial system that upholds justice and security for the citizens of Pasco County. The law is in place to protect our freedoms.
