A non-profit client on the Eastside

Rafel Manville and Lisa Hayes have offered services to us on a pro bono basis and we feel as if we are a corporate client. They are so professional, so responsive and so dedicated to representing us that we are often overwhelmed with gratitude when we think of the work they've undertaken on our behal...f. Lisa and Bob Hyde are amazing. They explain everything to us in language we can understand and yet they never dumb it down. What a joy to have Lisa Hayes, Bob Hyde and Rafel Manville in our corner.

Council Director

Lisa does her homework, comes to court prepared, and is brilliant in cross-examination and oral argumentation. In our case the judge personally congratulated her after her closing arguments and said, "The local bar can be proud of young attorneys like you coming through the ranks." As her client, I w...as proud, too. I can't say enough about how great she is. We are just very, very pleased with her work.

"Lisa is a passionate lawyer and a creative advocate. She sacrifices extraordinary amounts of time and energy again and again to fight for her clients and achieve the greatest possible results. She also gives back to the community to an incredible degree. I have no idea how she does it all- she seems to find 8 more hours in each day than a normal human. I have known Lisa for more than 10 years, and she never ceases to amaze me."

Litigation lawyer | Jun 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Lisa is a superb attorney. We had a case together where I represented the client for a criminal matter and Lisa represented the client for the civil portion. She did an excellent job. Unfortunately, the opposing counsel was very difficult, but Lisa remained completely professional. Furthermore, she is smart, aggressive and a brilliant tactician. If I need help with another civil issue, I would call her again in a second."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
