Review Hayes Ludlum

This is the lawyer to have

Posted by RobertSun Sep 07 2014

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.

Hayes is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney who protects the interest of his clients. I have no hesitation referring clients to him.

Michael Reece, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 29, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

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.

Amanda Mason, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 29, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse Mr. Ludlum as a very talented criminal defense attorney. Having known him for many years, I can confidently say that he has the respect of his industry peers.
