Nicol Joy Hanyard

I referred this lawyer to two people based on a referral I got for her. The first person. She wouldn't budge without payment, she wouldn't take calls, emails, or anything without those retainers hitting the bank but I thought ok, well she's about her money. Fine. The 2nd person, same thing goes ...with the money but this time she never fully counseled them legally on what to expect, how to prepare, legal direction. There were just no conversations. Her response time is slow. She shows up with no plan. A lawyer without a plan is not the lawyer to go handle your business and I will no longer refer her as she's essentially only concerned with a payment and not your life

My family and I are incredibly thankful for the extensive work that Nicol and her amazing team provided during our stressful moments. While I navigated complex issues, Nicol served as a trusted advisor to dilemmas that could only be solved with her high levels of expertise and utmost professionalism.... At best, she ensured I was kept informed and well prepared for every instance regarding my legal matters. I am beyond thankful for her leadership and thorough support. I could not have done any of this without her!

In going through an adverse family situation, I was apprehensive about acquiring legal counsel, but after consulting with and subsequently hiring the law firm of Hanyard Law, the experience was easy and informative. The entire team was always very professional and patient. Nicol always took extra ti...me to just talk and see how things were going overall. She made it such a comfortable experience. I am very grateful for her professionalism and how knowledgeable she was through the entire process.

I am very satisfied with the representation that I received from Hanyard Law, twice! Nicol is very detail-oriented and was able to settle my recent car accident in a way that was fair--just as she did back in 2007 as well. Nicol's communication was clear in explaining the steps that was needed to pr...ocess this case along the way. This is a great law firm, with professionalism and results--highly recommended!

I had hire an attorney back in February 2023. The attorney that was assigned to me caught covid so my case was given to other attorney in that office. It was a back and forth with documentation that was turned in that was incomplete. I was frustrated, disappointed and stress out with the attorney ap...proach to my case. After 14 months later we finally had our first mediation. I thought after this session we made some progress until she( MY EX WIFE now) got an lawyer. At this time I couldn't figure out why because there was information that she didn't share during the mediation or with her lawyer in my opinion. I didn't feel comfortable or confident with my lawyer anymore. So I started looking for another lawyer. My cousin's friend referred Ms. Hanyard to me because she went through a divorce case as well. It wasn't getting nowhere after 18 months, I spent over $24,000 with no resolution at all. At this time I felt that I needed to change representation because this wasn't going nowhere. Multiple times with no response due to lack of accountability from my previous attorney. It was always we need more money to move forward but with no results. In my opinion they didn't have my best interest at heart, they just wanted to dragged this case as much as they could get out of me financially. I went to Ms. Hanyard back in October 2024, I shared my previous attorney ledger being fully transparent from beginning to end. She was more than a lawyer, I needed to someone to help me thru this situation. Ms. Nicol listen to everything whether she agree or disagree. She gave me sound advice and a lot of options if I was going to be represented by her firm. After my consultation and prayer I decided to accept her representation. Instantly I seen consistency, communication, and results from the start. Ms. Nicol is straight forward with everything. Her goals are to give you the best of her in every way possible. It only took Ms. Hanyard 8 months ( June 2025) to settle my divorce. I wish I could turn back the clock to February 2023 who knows this could have been resolved. Ms. Nicol Hanyard is a person you can depend on no matter what your situation is, what encounters you are having, when you feel like no one has your best interest at heart, she is one of a kind unique in what she loves to do, and that's helping someone in need to resolve the issue for you. There were times that was so difficult for me, had bad days, but you always gave me confidence .Ms. Nicol gives you the best representation she can offer. You won't be disappointed. I can still remember when she called me to give me the good news that the divorce was final. I was in shock, something that I was hoping and praying for finally came true. To my friend I consider to this day, Ms. Nicol you gave me clarity and closure of my situation over the 3 years that I didn't know how this was going to end. I truly appreciate everything that you have done for me mentally, financially, spiritually. Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication.
