Very thorough

I hired Hayden to draft my prenuptial agreement. I found him to be very thorough, thoughtful, and attentive to detail. He helped me draft an in-depth prenup, one that I wanted to consider ironclad. It took much longer and cost much more than I anticipated, but in the end I was very happy with the pro...duct, since enforceability was my biggest concern. I would highly recommend Hayden to family members and friends.

Exceptional attorney, effective communicator and delivering outstanding performance.

Hayden devised an excellent strategy for my case, executing it with precision and wit. His in-depth familiarity with the judicial system allowed him to navigate seamlessly. Effectively handling negotiations with the opposing party, Hayden articulated my desired outcome. His high courtroom awareness a...nd calm demeanor showcased his professionalism. Hayden listened attentively to my concerns, offering counsel that led to the optimal outcome for my case. I wholeheartedly recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues.

PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGABLE

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.

Divorce Counsel

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.
