Top-tier and caring

Kurt is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and works tirelessly to get you the best outcome. He level sets expectations based off of his years of experience to minimize surprises while pulling in whoever he can to help. I have consulted Kurt for legal advice for years.

Highly Recommend Attorney Kurt Hayes

I had the privilege of working with attorney Kurt Hayes and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From our first consultation to the final resolution of my case, Mr. Hayes demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. He took the time to explain every detail... of my case, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made me feel confident in their ability to handle my legal matters. What truly stood out to me was their personalized approach — I never felt like just another client. Mr Hayes genuinely cared about my concerns and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. His communication was clear, timely, and respectful, which made the entire process much smoother. I highly recommend Kurt Hayes to anyone in need of legal services. He are a true expert in his field and an outstanding advocate for his clients.

Douchebag

I hired this guy for a divorce that was a very short marriage where I was cheated on by my ex wife and she was trying to take stuff from me that she was not entitled to. Kurt Hayes promised me the world and acted like my best friend before he got paid. After being paid in full he became lazy (and als...o somewhat beforehand). His communication skills lack incredibly. Towards the tail end of the divorce we were supposed to meet with the other party and her attorney before the court date to tweak the agreement and visitation because my ex wife was having my son around drug addicts and derelicts and whenever I would bring this up to Mr. Hayes he would tell me that I was not listening to him and would result in him on more than one occasion telling me that he was going to withdraw from the case. This ALL after getting paid almost 7 thousand dollars. The day of court he filed a motion to withdraw, I objected and the judge was nice enough to tell us to go in the conference room just me and him to try to talk and when we went into the conference room, Mr. Hayes became irate and would not let me speak a word. He walked out of the room like a child and filed his motion to withdraw because he got his money. This guy is a real blowhard twerp and I wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy. He also has been found guilty in Massachusetts of similar activity.

Lifesaver

Attorney Hayes had a solid grasp of my case. Not only was he well prepared, but I felt he really cared the outcome. I would definitely recommend this attorney.
