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.

Have and Will hire again

Colleen Hyder to me is a woman of integrity, dedication, and motivation. She is an experienced professional, who has an exceptional knowledge of the law. Her immaculate ethics and unparalleled work ethic makes her an outstanding attorney who is capable, thorough, and hardworking. She is straightforwa...rd and will not tell you what you want to hear, but is informative on what you need to know. I highly recommend her, and feel fortunate to have hired such a family oriented and compassionate attorney such as herself.

Informative

I rest assured that my case is in the hands of a reliable and concerned law firm. Her consideration for keeping me informed on the steps accomplished, suggested actions available and information yet to be attained has been a welcome relief.

Shes a pitbull!

Ms. Hyder , is so caring! She took payments. She responded to every call personally. She went above and beyond, actually going to the police and helping file papers.

I would recommend Colleen Hyder to anyone!!

My name is Pat Jones and I have used Colleen Hyder twice already and would recommend her and will use her again if the neeed arises. My first matter was a financial matter. Not only did she take the time to explain to me all the ins and outs regarding my particular situation she never once made me... feel as if i was being judged or looked down upon. She was very helpful in giving me advice, informing me of my rights and the laws and what steps would be necessary to remedy the situation. The second time I went to her it was a matter in a different state where she was not licensed. Although it was something she could not help me on, she referred me to another lawyer who was qualified in that state and then told me of the laws in TN to have general information of possible outcomes to prepare me for when I met with the other lawyer. She is on time for her appointments, looks you directly in the eye and actually listens and helps. Although I hope to not have another situation that needs the services of a lawyer I would most certainly go straight to Colleen Hyder again!
