This is the lawyer to have
I would recommend Mr. Ludlum to anyone who needs a lawyer. He is very professional and is very easy to make contact with. My son, his girlfriend and myself have had to use him on several occasions and we have been very pleased with the outcome. We will use him again if needed.

Great attorney
Felt very comfortable and confident with Mr Ludlum. In the courtroom I didn’t even need to speak. He’s knowledgeable and dependable, I would recommend 100%.

Fantastic lawyer
Mr. Ludlum helped to get my case dismissed despite the officer lying about certain evidence. He believed my word over the officers (which is important) and was able to get evidence that showed I was telling the truth and the officer was lying about it. I feel other lawyers would have just taken the plea deal offered but mr. Ludlum believed and fought for my case which I couldn't be more greatful for. Before trial I would send him emails, even during non business hours and he would always get back to me in about an hour or two max. So all in all I believe Mr. Ludlum is one of the best lawyers in the county and did an amazing job fighting for my case despite the non truthful arguments of the officer.

"Hayes is a good person and a great lawyer. Very sharp legal mind; good courtroom demeanor; not scared of anything or anybody. He's always courteous and polite to all the parties involved but is tough when it comes time to get down to business. I've referred a number of clients to him over the years and he's never disappointed with the efforts or results."
