Attorney you can count on

I had a great experience with Renee. I have worked with her on both immigration and custody matters. She is very knowledgeable and competent. She is very thorough in her approach and zealously represented me. She helped me obtain joint legal and physical custody of my children, in a high conflict, ho...stile situation. She is masterful negotiator and I always felt she had my back during custody conferences. She is honest and straight forward in her communication. I also thought she was fair and reasonable with her charges. I highly recommend Renee!

Renee Hykel Cuddy, highest satisfaction.

Renee helped me personally through divorce and custody, AND with immigration issues, so I used her in each of her professional capacities. I found her attentive, and exceedingly clear in her handling of these complicated problems. Her advice was always concise, clear, and to the point. I recommend... her highly.

Hykel Law changed my life

I first reached out to Renee Hykel-Cuddy in June of 2015 acquiring her assistance filing for custody of my son. First off I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that working with Renee has been a serious blessing not only to me, but my entire family. I came into this completely blind. I had n...ever done anything like this before. I was nervous, cautious, scared, and completely ignorant to what my legal rights were or what I was entitled to as a father. I had also never spoke to a lawyer before, and had somewhat of a wall put up when we first met. I quickly learned that Renee was far from the type of lawyer you hear about taking your money and putting you on a long overpopulated to do list. Renee took pride in my case, and gave it the attention it deserved. Her attention to detail as well as the preparation she put into defending me was honestly touching. She's defended me in court a number of times over the past 7 months, and not once did I feel unconfident/unprepared standing next to her. And not once did I leave with less than what I asked for. Renee is smart, tough, hardworking, and very professional without sacrificing an ounce of compassion for her work or her client. If I ever had doubts she was reassuring in every way I would need a lawyer to be in such a serious case, and her advice always influenced my best decisions. If you're considering Hykel Law as your legal representation I urge you to follow through. If you need proof I walked out of our final custody hearing yesterday (2/2/16) with partial custody of my son and everything I had asked for the day I walked into Hykel Law and acquired Renee's services. I am forever grateful for those efforts. Sincerely, -Ben

Renee is an awesome attorney!

Renee is always punctual, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. Also, she has an impeccable memory. My custody case is old and fairly complicated, but she retained all of the facts and helped me protect my son. My only regret is that I didn't hire her years ago!
