Excellent! Plain and simple…
My unexpected medical condition forced me to find a good lawyer to represent me and handle my financial situation throughout years of recovery. After my initial consultation with John, I found myself being both confident and comfortable, knowing that I was in good hands. With his help, I was able to take the time to rebuild my life and enjoy the peace of mind knowing that everything was going to be okay. There’s no substitute for the level of knowledge and professionalism that his law firm provided me with and I’m so grateful for all of their help…

Bankruptcy
When my daughter's divorce left her with debts that were beyond her means to repay, I went with her to meet John. It quickly became clear that bankruptcy was the best option. He explained the process in understandable terms. He completed all the necessary filings and within a couple of months my daughter's debts were discharged. John was great throughout the process. At our first meeting, he immediately put us at ease. His customer service was top notch. He responded to all communications and followed through on all commitments both during and after discharge. Everything went very smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone.

Best Lawyer !!!
John Has been a God sent to me. I am a widow with one daughter. When I first walked into his office and met the staff and then met him I knew I was in the right place.He treat me with the up most respect. With his kindness He helped me to understand the process of Bankruptcy,and how he would help me through every step of the way. Him and his staff make me feel important and are very caring. All my calls and emails are always answered very quickly. There is always some one that answers the phone at his office. Even if I email him in the evening I get a response immediately. He is extremely professional in every aspect of my case. He also is so kind and thoughtful I feel like I have known him my whole life. With John handling my case I feel at ease and know that I have made the right choice and have learned a lot of how to handle my financial situation from here on out. John is a man of great integrity . I have full trust in him. I would recommend him for your case. Its an honor for me to have him as my lawyer. I am blessed. Thank you, Tina

Simply the best....
There is no better bankruptcy attorney than John Hyams in Central PA. I was forced to file bankruptcy when my business went bad in 2013. John Hyams and his team knew the exactly how to handle my complex case and they made me feel at home and at ease. I urge anybody having to go through a difficult time financially to use this law firm. They changed my life and I'm confident that nobody else would've gotten the results that Mr. Hyams did.
