Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Donald “Luke” Hyatt is tenacious, diligent and highly skilled litigator. When I was prosecutor, I worked against Luke in extremely difficult criminal matters; and since entering private practice, I have also seen Luke achieve outstanding results on behalf of his clients. Regardless of whether it was criminal or civil matter or the difficulty of the case, Luke has always carried out his work in a courteous and highly professional manner, without compromising the best interests of his clients. Without question, I recommend his services to any person seeking legal advice within his areas of practice."

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.
