Will not Recommend

would not recommend this lawyer. Their communication and professionalism were awful. Their paperwork was disorganized, and they did not adequately represent me well me as a client. Go far as you can to more professional organize lawyer.

Name change

Thanks to Nicol Hanyard for representing me with my maiden name change. My divorce was filled but my name was not changed on my divorce paperwork and I was very eagered on returning back to my maiden name and working with Nicol it was done very quickly. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I wil...l not hesitate calling on Nicol.

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.

Attorney with ethics and proven results

Attorney Hanyard represented me in my divorce case, she was professional, knowledgeable, and court savvy. I was nervous at first because I had never had to endure a trial, but when I saw her navigate through the courtroom I was confident I was in good hands. I would recommend Attorney Hanyard and he...r team for your legal matters. Pamela Jackson
