Seemed unprepared
Mr. Haywood was unprepared and because of that I lost my case and it ruined my life. He sat in court and didn't present the evidence that could of won me my case. He took $7,ooo and did little to help me. I would never suggest for anyone to hire this man.

Got my case dismissed... Great lawyer
I had several charges, but Mr. Hayward managed to get the case dismissed. I'd definitely go to him again!
