Excellent Representation

Choosing Ms. Hayduk to represent me was the best choice I could have made. My DUI arrest was daunting to say the least, as I expected life-altering, permanent consequences. Throughput the process she was professional and understanding. The court process and her intentions were thoroughly explained t...o me with each step. Ultimately, she did her job so well that the charge was reduced to reckless driving. I can’t express the relief I’ve felt due to this outcome and am so very thankful for Ms. Hayduk’s involvement. I HIGHLY recommend Ms. Hayduk for any legal matters you may have.

Could not have been happier

After my son found himself in some legal trouble, underage consumption of alcohol, I was given a short list of Attorney's in the area, and I, to be honest picked the only woman on the list. Best decision I have made in a long time. My son's attorney was definitely a gift. Not only did she treat m...y son with respect and compassion, I truly believe that she treated him as if he were one of her own. From the moment that we met her, she instilled in us the confidence that we could make it through this difficult time in my son's life. She was upfront and honest about what was happening, and also, what could happen. She took my son under her wing, and walked him through this very scary time. From the first time that we talked on the phone, she gave us a sense of "everything will be alright". She was also upfront and honest about the potential consequences of my son's decisions. His mother and I will always be grateful for her, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances.

Order of protection

In my search for an attorney I found Ms.Hayduk on AVVO. She had rave reviews so I contacted her for a consultation. Although my type of case was not one typically in her area of expertise, she listened to my story and sympathized with my situation. I was petitioning for an order of protection from an... ex boyfriend's girlfriend who had been severely harrassing me and causing me fear for my safety. From the moment I consulted with her I knew that she would be the perfect fit. Both her and her partner Mr. Farinash were extremely professional yet still empathetic and caring regarding my case. They were available for questions and even worked and researched all weekend to ensure all of my options were presented to me. Ms. Hayduk never forced me to make any decisions she would give suggestions and provide research to show why she suggested a particular course of action. Ultimately, she always made me feel in control 100% of the time. I would highly recommend her on any case and if I ever were to need an attorney again I will definitely be hiring her or Mr. Farinash. My outcome was great I ended with a two year injunction and finally feel safe enough to go to and from my car at work without fear. My quality of life is better thanks to this woman and Mr. Farinash and I am forever greatful.

DUI help

Ms. Hayduk was very professional. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I called several different attorney's about my issue and she was the one I chose. Ms. Hayduk was compassionate and understood my fears. She was willing to answer any and all questions I had to the best of her ability while... also maintaining the fact that she could not make any promises. My case was a simple one but she also tried her best to comfort me. She was also the cheapest attorney I found and considering I am currently unemployed that means a lot. However the price she quoted was based solely on the idea that we didn't go to trial. Had we went to trial it would have been significantly more. She made my case very quick and I was still able to attend my classes. I would definitely recommend her to anyone especially one in a DUI/DWI situation like I was in. I can thank her enough for helping me get a second chance.

"I know Attorney Hayduk. In fact, she is one of the attorneys who taught me the NHTSA curriculum for the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. I can attest to her diligence and national reputation in terms of aggressive and professional defense of the motorist accused of a DUI. She has the reputation, the knowledge, and the experience to champion the cause of those who trust her with their case. What is more is that I trust her. I know you will too."
