She’s the best!!!

I have worked in the legal system over half my life, but when the tables turned and I needed representation, she was right by my side! She and her paralegal walked me through the toughest time of my life!

Phenomenal Attorney

My experience with Hyder law was amazing from the start. I could tell that Ms. Hyder was a very knowledgeable woman who was ambitious and passionate about her job. I knew I was in the right hands for my divorce case with a minor child. Ms. Hyder responded quickly for any questions that I had in a tim...ely manner and broke down anything that I didn't understand. She's an honest woman who will tell you what you need to hear versus what you want to hear. Ms. Hyder and her team did an amazing job with ensuring that I understood all facets of the process. she was very professional and her team handled my case with care and urgency. they took the time to understand my concerns and made sure to follow up frequently. overall my experience with Hyder Law was amazing. I would highly recommend for anyone who needs help.

Driving Reduction

Ms. Hyder is a suburb lawyer that clearly states the facts and lays out all the recommendations for your specific case. She highlights all the critical details required in order to push through the course of action that is best suited for your situation. She consistently updates your case with releva...nt information and keeps you informed throughout the whole process. She has assisted me with all my questions and research I needed and helped me into a program designed for me, as a Veteran, to receive all the necessary assistance I require. I would absolutely recommend Ms. Hyder for any case.

I fired her and she still failed

I have multiple emails from my ex’s attorney that show he took me to court many times bc she failed to turn over or file documents I had given her for months. She did not return my calls or emails and straight out lied to me. I would not trust her especially if you are a woman.

Excellent attorney

Our experience with Hyder Law was positive from the first moment we consulted her. Ms Hyder was attentive, through, and helpful through our difficult time. She knows the law inside and out. She always responded quickly and effectively with any questions or issues as the arose. She fought for my c...hild just as she would her own. I highly recommend Hyder Law.
