Very sad story

For a family law situation you should never consider this attorney. I guess you don't have to worry about it because he is not practicing anymore, which is a good thing. After a year and a half of waiting for a TPR for a child he informed us he would not be practicing law anymore. When we took it ...to another attorney the new attorney then told us that after 3 dismissals I can no longer file for a TPR any longer. Very moody, most conversation was with the secretary, very frustrating!!! Never go with the cheapest attorney - you get what you pay for.

Great Lawyer

I have retained Shaun for several legal services in the last couple of years, including alienation of affection, criminal conversation, divorce and property issues. He and his assistants are always professional, efficient and eager to help their clients. He can handle the stress of the court room whe...n other lawyers and their clients get agitated and emotional. He knows the law and serves his clients well. I would highly recommend him.

A Blessing..

I had a unique case.. I was getting custody of my un-biological nephew.. I got physical custody of him but I couldn't get him in school until I had obtained temporary custody in order to enroll him. Throughout 2 weeks of phone consultations, paid office consultations, and email consultations, I bet I... talked to 15 lawyers.. They all wanted money up front to even speak to them, then after hearing the case I would be hit with a major price which I couldn't afford to pay especially up front.. I went in to speak with Mr. Hayes on a Tuesday, by that following Monday I had my nephew in school.. I worked with a Ms. Wendy at the office and she would call to make sure I knew when appointments where and court dates.. He was reasonably priced and never once made me feel like his fees where more important then my case.. Great attitude.. Very knowledgeable.. Knew what I needed to do and made sure I knew what the next move was.. His staff was sweet, caring and kept me informed as well.. I would highly recommend Mr. Hayes for your custody needs.. He is a personal blessing.. My answered prayer..

Outstanding Representation

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.

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.
