Best!!! Hand down!!!

Over a year ago I began one of the hardest journeys I have ever walked!! Fighting for custody in the state of Virginia as a father is a lot more difficult than you could ever imagine. Throughout the process I had 3 attorneys. By the time I got to Mike I had almost lost all hope. He was very knowledge...able in the entire process and he was very patient with me. He spent more time and effort than the other two attorneys combined. He was extremely helpful with making me aware of the entire process, and gave stellar advise that eventually allowed the final win for my son!! He was very attentive to my case and clearly worked with passion. I would recommend him a million times over!! Hopefully I will never need him again, but if I did, he would absolutely be my first call!! I cannot thank him enough for saving my sons life!!

Best of All the REST

Michael Hyman was very patient with me. I was deciding if I wanted to part from my life partner. It was a very stressful time. Mr Hyman was extremely knowledgeable, as well as kind. He would return phone calls promptly and answer the myriad of questions that I had. I would use Mr. Hyman without hesi...tation if in need of any type of law he practices without hesitation.

An Excellent attorney and an absolute professional!

Mr. Hyman was hands-down the best choice to represent me and my family. He is extremely knowledgeable and took great care to ensure I was informed and prepared throughout the process. Additionally, his patience with my abundance of questions was amazing. Best of all, he is a winner!

Military Divorce

Not every attorney understands the Dynamics and Sensitivity of a Military Divorce. Mr Hyman guided me through the challenging phases of a property settlement agreement, to the divorce decree and let us not forget, the set in stone military pension division order. In a military divorce, this is espe...cially important if you have been married over 20 years. Mr Hyman understood and respected both parties, and this was important to me. I initially started my divorce paperwork with another attorney, only to find out she knew absolutely NOTHING about a Military Divorce and financially funds up front was lost. Mr Hyman gave me back the trust and the hope of people doing right. It is because of Mr Hyman's attention to detail and understanding of the dynamic of a military divorce, that the process was not so painful, nor bitter, nor that standard ugly. Thank you Mr Hyman for your respect in helping us move past this moment in our lives.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Astute, Compassionate, and Respectful

My son and I met with Mr. Hyman regarding a Class 4 misdemeanor. He clearly explained all possible options and potential outcomes for our case including options for reasonable defense. Mr. Hyman articulated areas of the arrest that were weak and coherently outlined a detailed plan of action. At all... times he was patient, respectful, and treated us with dignity. He quoted us a very fair and reasonable flat fee. I would highly recommend Mr. Hyman to any person who wants a competent and compassionate attorney who treats clients with dignity.
