Shaun Lendis Hayes

I was separated from my husband who had been abusive. I consulted with Mr. Hayes and informed him of the abuse at the initial consultation for a divorce. I felt like he understood my situation and I hired him. I did not know that I could have filed a DV Restraining order against my estranged husband ...at the time. I knew very little about the law which is why I needed an attorney in the first place. What ended up happening was my ex took out DV papers on me for simply returning his phone calls over some property that we had in storage. My Ex lied to take the DV papers out on me and convinced his mistress to do the same. I had to spend an addition thousand dollars to hire a civil attorney to defend me in this civil matter after enduring weeks of Process servers disturbing my household and what little peace I had found after already leaving an abusive situation. I feel like I was abused twice. I needed help and I didn't get it. My ex was the only person that had ever had a police report for DV filed against him during the duration of our marriage. Generally, people do not understand how easy it is for an abuser to use the law to continue their abuse against a spouse. If my Lawyer had filed these papers on my behalf to start with, I would not have had to present photos of my bruises and phone records ( where he had been harassing me over months) in a civil court. In fact, there would not have been a civil case to start with. I am very disappointed and made this known to Mr. Haye's office.

Shaun has done, and continues to do, an outstanding job representing and advising me through my divorce and child custody case. He is extremely knowledgeable of family law, is organized, and has been responsive to all my requests for information. Shaun is a true professional and advocate. His fees... are more than reasonable. I'd highly recommend him.

I was referred to Shaun Hayes by two people from different counties and I was indeed very pleased with his service for my custody case. He listened to everything I wanted and assured me he would and could do it. Put up an argument for my case against defendants lawyer leaving them speechless. Would... definitely recommend to anyone that's willing to properly abide laws and rules in any case. A+++

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.
