Skilled Attorney

Hayden helped me with a somewhat complicated QDRO issue. He was knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. He was also judicious with his time. I will utilize his services again if necessary.

He gets it!

This is my second time hiring Hayden. He helped me with my divorce case about six years ago, and we were able to settle a long hard custody/support case this month (April 2019). He explained everything in-detail and made sure that we were kept in the loop at all times. He gave us all of our options a...nd shared his own opinion; at the same time he understood that we were the ones that made the decisions. He made sure to be well prepared before he talked to us about the case, so he wouldn't waste our time or money. Hayden truly cares about his cases and he is honest. I do and will continue to recommend him highly to everyone I know. No one wants to go to a lawyer, but if it gets that bad that you absolutely need one, Hayden is your guy. He made me feel as at ease as you could possibly feel, going through one...okay two of the worse times in my life. Hayden is down to earth, knows the law, and is effective. I hope that I will not need him again, but I have the peace of mind that he is there if I do.

Skilled Divorce Attorney

Hayden Lee handled my divorce with great skill, I was impressed with his attention to detail. He knew exactly when to turn up the heat when it was necessary. Undoubtedly, his knowledge of family law resulted in an outcome I was happy with during this tough time. I highly recommend Hayden if you have ...to go get divorced, he is an A+ attorney.

Child Custody & Divorce

Mr. Lee handled my child custody and divorce proceedings which had an international aspect to it. This in itself added a much greater complexity to the proceedings, but Mr. Lee was up to the challenge and researched proper methods of serving foreign nationals abroad among other things. He was very pr...ofessional, easy to talk to, hard working and reasonably priced. I had a great experience with him and the services he provided, so I would certainly recommend him to others.

Wise and practical counsel

I hired Hayden to represent my Divorce and Custody pleadings. He set the right tone early in the process by carefully listening to the outcomes I desired. He then did a great job explaining what issues I should prioritize and what were reasonable timelines for resolution. The custody negotiations we...re complex and I stood to lose a lot of ground and financial resources if the negotiations turned negative and Hayden expertly handled the process such that we totally avoided a negative outcome. His wise counsel meant we reached a custody and separation agreement that met all my needs and which then laid the groundwork for completion of the divorce proceedings in due time. We had to change plans when the time came to file the divorce as the other party changed their representation and location, introducing great uncertainty and potentially great cost into the process and again, Hayden displayed great professionalism by always laying out clear, practical alternatives we could use, which avoided me making emotional decisions that would ultimately have been to my disadvantage. His attention to detail also caught a lot of documentation errors before they would have impacted the timelines/costs of our filings. Finally, it was a pleasant surprise when I got a message from him that our pleadings had been entered by the judge and this phase of the ordeal was over. Hayden had succeeded in getting this process fully resolved about 3 weeks ahead of our original timelines and bearing in mind that this process took well over 9 months, I would say he gave me very reliable counsel from the very onset of our relationship. Thank you Hayden, for playing your part in minimizing the pain the children and I have and continue to experience on account of this divorce.
