About Hyatt
Biography
Members of Congress, federal judges, fellow attorneys, and thousands of clients have relied upon my work. I have contributed to briefs for two cases before The Supreme Court of the United States. Legal scholars have cited my work in the Texas Tech Law Review, The Royal Society Publishing, and the Connecticut Law Review. I have tried hundreds cases, including felonies, misdemeanors, and civil cases. I have also pursued appeals at all levels of Virginia state courts. I have taught several undergraduate legal courses in addition to practicing law. Now in private practice and volunteering as General Counsel for a non-profit company, I continue to apply and develop my legal skills.

Great attorney!

No stone unturned
Mr. Shirkey did all he possibly could at my trial. In our initial interview, he was honest in his assessment of my case, provided a detailed outline about his process and approach, and bowled me over with his sense of humor. A great combination of human-ness and ability!
