Great Representation--Twice!

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!

Hanyard Law

The initial consultation put my mind and heart at ease. As I left the office I knew from that moment forward I had made the right decision to hire Hanyard Law Firm to represent me. It was very easy to communicate with Attorney Hanyard. She listened without interruption and provided an assessment that... was beneficial in handling the case. I was kept abreast of any and all actions going forward I am so grateful that the end result were fruitful and satisfying. Thank you Attorney Hanyard for the excellent representation.

Very professional and trustworthy, I had two cases pending and faced some challenges in my first case, Nicol and her staff was very patient in providing the best and worst case scenario in order me to make the best decision. Thank You for all of your help and encouragement

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
