The ultimate win

Tom did an amazing fighting my case. The city of Chicago tried to seize my vehicle after it was stolen. Tom fought so hard to prove my innocence in the case and for me to receive my vehicle back. In no time I had me vehicle returned to me and also the money that I paid the state to even have my case ...reviewed. He was so dedicated and confident that we would win and thanks to his efforts we did THANK YOU SO MUCH TOM FOR ALL YOUR HELP !!!!

Attorney Hyland is a caring professional that knows the law.

I call Attorney Tom Hyland, My Attorney! I realize that he has a lot of clients, but he mades me feels like I'm his only client. I had an order of protection and misdemeanor that Attorney Hyland represented me on. He was able to defend me and revealed all the unfactual information that the petitione...r was lying about. Tom won both cases and the charges were dismissed. I'm looking forward to working with Attorney Hyland to bring to Justice the 2 individuals and the 2 companies that have brought false charges against me.

Closing attorney

I hired Thomas Hyland for the closing on my home in November of 2017. Mr. Hyland consulted with me about my home at his office and went over specifics line by line with me so I knew all specifics of my closing. I would highly recommend Mr.Hyland for anyone looking for an attorney for making a closing... on their home. Do to his professionalism, knowledge, and patience he gave me I am confident you will be pleased with his business.

Awesome lawyer

I was fighting a armed robbery and Mr. Hyland got me acquitted of all charges in a bench trial. He really cares about his clients and proves it's all about a win and not the money. True fighter by nature. 3 thumbs up

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.
