Hayden Oliver Lee

I am a lawyer, though not a divorce lawyer. When my daughter was a the start of her divorce proceeding, she asked if I knew any lawyer in the field. I spoke with a former colleague, a family lawyer who was about to retire, and she whole-heartedly recommended " a great younger lawyer" she had w...orked with -- Hayden. My daughter interviewed and hired him. She was thrilled with him, commenting often on his expertise and, as important, his empathy. He took the time to listen and understand her concerns and problems. Though she was Hayden's client, several times during her proceeding she asked Hayden to talk with me so I could provide my views to her. He was great from this fellow lawyer's perspective. His explanations were clear, very helpful and concise. (There are few things I hate more than a rambling lawyer who runs up the cost meter). My daughter's proceeding ended very successfully a few weeks ago. I share her views that Hayden very effectively represented her interests and secured the best possible settlement. I will be forever grateful for his excellent representation of "my little girl."

Hayden believed in me and my worth even before I did. He fought with intelligence and tenacity for what I deserved and my kids and I needed. Hayden gave us a better new beginning than I ever dreamed possible. He truly cared about helping and supporting me through the entire process of divorce and bey...ond. He is invested in my well being, happiness and future security. Hayden Lee quite simply showed me and delivered me my worth and my freedom. I have never been happier now that I am divorced, safe, secure and at peace. Hayden was my lawyer and counsel and a good friend. He believed in me, and fought for what was right and fair - and even more... I could not recommend him more highly. I am keeping him on retainer indefinitely. He is a great lawyer and a wonderful human!

Going through a separation can be an emotional and stressful experience, making it difficult to concentrate on the process. I consulted with multiple lawyers and found that only Hayden provided a clear action plan. He was able to answer all of my questions and developed a strategy that was tailored t...o my specific goals. Hayden's expertise in the law and the process surpassed that of any other lawyer I had spoken with, especially when it came to my status as an active military member. Throughout the process, Hayden provided me with weekly updates on his work and was transparent about billing, responding promptly to my emails. Hayden remained professional and focused on my goals, instead of getting into arguments with my spouse's lawyer. Although not all separations end in reconciliation, I appreciated that Hayden handled the process in a way that allowed us to maintain our composure and professionalism.

Hayden did a phenomenal job in handling my divorce case. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and accessible. He made sure that I got a strong temporary support settlement early on, which was wonderful, because the final settlement didn’t happen for another year. He kept me apprised of everything... involved in my case, and he explained things to me without making it sound as if he were dumbing things down. I could not have been in better hands.

Relatively speaking the settlement was pretty amicable in regards to reaching a Settlement all parties were comfortable with. I predicted that in advance even though there was a lot of tense emotion surrounding the proceedings. I also had a pretty solid grasp of the financial implications of differen...t scenarios as I entered into counsel with Mr. Lee. Regardless, and I don't feel it was an attempt to run up billable hours, Mr. Lee was diligent and professionally persistent to ensure I did understand all the implications. My ex-spouse's counsel proved a poor time manager and ran an inefficient partnership that created numerous and unnecessary back and forths between offices. Through all this, although Mr. Lee was clearly frustrated and embarrassed for the unprofessional behavior of his opposing counsel, he kept his emotions even and concentrated on the facts and issues . He was particularly insightful in advising me on how to address long term payments in order to reduce any ambiguity in the future, years down the road. His counsel there undoubtedly saved significant angst for both myself and my ex. Without hesitation, I would recommend Hayden Lee as counsel for any divorce proceedings. His style is one where he is fully engaged and an active listener. He is thorough, competent and a proactive communicator. I found his practice solid, professional and efficient.
