Excellence and attention to detail.

John worked with me every step of the way. He fought hard for me and listened to my needs and found solutions to problems before they arose. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for quality legal advice or in need or excellent legal services.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Hyland actually presided over my very first trial in his capacity as Waunakee Municipal Court Judge. Since that time, I've gotten to know him much better because we practice in many of the same counties and in the same general area of law. He has a reputation as an excellent and very dedicated attorney. I think his experience as a municipal court judge gives him a unique and valuable perspective that helps him to better represent his own clients. I gladly endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I represented several municipalities as their city prosecutor and dealt with John on a number of cases. John always presented a thoughtful and thorough defense of his clients. Many times, I was convinced through the force of his arguments to offer significant reductions in either the charge or the fine or both. I consider John one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the Madison area and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to my friends and family members."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
