Excellent Person and Knows the Law !!!!

Mr. Hayes has been a very attentive Attorney, handling my case for me..He is very knowledgeable of the law, but also thinks outside the box and has compassion about winning the correct way without a lot of drama. Should you every need representation for any legal matter you should consider Mr. Hayes ...to handle your needs. The office staff also are most professional , and attentive to your personal feelings, and needs as well. The office staff are as usual the front line people you make contact with, and it has been a breath of fresh air to experience their confidence and support .Thank everyone for your help thru a very difficult ordeal. I Have recommended your services to other , and will continue to do so!!!!

Highly Recommend Shaun Hayes

I highly recommend Shaun Hayes to anyone who is going through a divorce or for any legal service. Shaun has proved to be a strong and fierce advocate for me in court. He has never been intimidated in the courtroom and has always been well prepared. Shaun is always very professional and very knowledge...able. If I have questions or don't understand some of the attorney language he takes the time to explain what is being said. Honestly, I don't think that I could get through this without him. His strength and commitment for me has given me the strength not to fall apart during this very difficult time. Shaun makes you feel at ease, and is easy to talk to. Shaun gives you 100%. I am very pleased with the work he has done for me so far on my separation, custody, child support, and divorce case. He has done and continues to do an excellent job representing me and my children. I have recommended Shaun to Family and Friends and will continue to do so.

Run far away

Mr. Hayes is one of the worst lawyers I have ever hired, the case took over a year to be closed. From the get go Mr. Hayes was unsure of if he was prepared enough to submit evidence to the court and always wanted to continue the court dates. Mr. Hayes does not give any advice, anytime I asked him his... opinion on a matter he would simply say "it's up to you". The case was not closed in my favor and I received the court order via email, Mr. Hayes never contacted me to explain the order or to even tell me the case was closed and order written. To add to his poor services as a "lawyer" his paralegals are rude and very disorganized, I was told by one of them that I would have to "re-hire" Mr. Hayes if I wanted him to explain the court order. So in short find a better lawyer and find a better Lawfirm!

Custody

Mr Hayes was hired for a custody case..he postponed the case many times..he did not review the new orders on the custody issues and refused to correct the papers..then he did the unthinkable..he withdrew from the case the day of court...

Yes, he's cheaper but trust me that is not a good thing!

Please do yourself and your family a favor and do not retain the services of Shaun Hayes. He is indeed cheaper than most other attorneys in Asheboro, and he seems to be moderately knowledgable about family law, however you get what you pay for. I'll refrain from posting specifics regarding my case,... but it's a child custody issue and it remains unresolved after several months of back and forth with Mr.Hayes and my ex's attorney. I'm sure in a more simple case he may provide an adaquate service but in my opinion, children are way too precious to risk because you'd rather save money on attorney fees. He is non-communicative and not thorough. It's like pulling teeth to get a response or call back from his office, and when you speak with him, his answers are often indirect and short. I was often left confused and blindsided in court despite my efforts to be proactive and organized with my case information and details. Go with someone much more willing to communicate with you, or you will be disappointed.
