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.

"I recommend Hyatt - he is a conscientious and dedicated counsel that goes the extra mile for his clients. I have had the pleasure of working with him on the Virginia State Bar's Technology sub committee. His interest in utilizing technology in his practice puts him ahead of the curve to his clients' benefit."
"Hyatt is my go to referral lawyer in the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area of Virginia. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and would be a good choice if you are looking for someone to represent you."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is smart, passionate, and hard-working. He loves the law and seeking justice."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've found Hyatt to be very knowledgeable and an upstanding member of the local bar."
