Family Law

It took me about 2 months to find Attorney Hanyard. I tried reaching out to many referred lawyers; to find out, they all stopped working in Family Law. I tried to make one more call. Another lawyer's assistant told me to check out the lady whose ad was currently running on the radio. I made the ca...ll to Hanyard’s Law Office. Ms Hanyard answered the phone. She was the only lawyer who spoke to me first. She didn’t request that I speak to her assistant first and give them all of my information. I knew Hanyard Law Office was where I was supposed to be. She was kind, professional, willing to help and point me in the right direction, a joy to work with. She took care of my case in an acceptable amount of time. Coming out of pandemic era, the courts were slow to put court cases on the calendar. She was patient and eager to stayed on top of the situation. I’m so happy I chose her. She made me feel like she cared about me and my family. You will not go wrong in choosing Hanyard Law Office and her team to help you with any of your needs.

Mr. A Holder

First of all let me thank you Ms Hanyard for the professional job you did in handling my case. You were very detailed in what you need to move forward in my case. You always handled the case in a very calm way but getting your point across. Most Attorney's would have given up but you were persistenc...e in what we were asking for at the trial. You are a good example of what an Lawyer should stand for . I truly hope that all of your clients are satisfied with your work as I am truly Satisfied with the outcome. If anyone ask me for a good attorney you would be at the top of my list for recommendation. Again thaks Ms Hanyard for a job well done.

Parental Custody Modification (I'm a Father)

I am a dad that has been dealing with a difficult spouse. I also allowed myself to get caught up with a manipulative ex, so from my divorce to the parenting agreement it has all been an uphill battle. The first time I represented myself, the second time I tried to save money and ended up with an ine...xperienced lawyer, and last but not least I hired Hanyard Law (SATISFACTION). Nicol represented me and walked me through the process from start to finish. I really felt like I had someone in my corner. She was fair and never told me what I wanted hear. I never felt slighted and was tough from start t finish. I feel like I will no longer have any confusion with the NEW language in my parent agreement. Thank you Nicol Joy
