Exceptional law firm

I was involved in an accident and ended up with a couple of bad charges against me. I hired them because I have heard they are the best in the business. With their great knowledge, of the system helped reduce my charges and be able to keep moving forward with life. Would recommend any time!

Charges Dropped!

I have heard nightmare stories where meet with your lawyer on your court date, and when they open your file you can tell that it is the first time they have looked at your case. That was not my situation with Angela; she literally helped me out in every way possible. She put together a strategy that ...made the situation as easy and comfortable as possible for me and gave us the best chance to win. Angela represented me at pre-trial hearings while I was at work, she gave me personal guidance that helped keep household family members calm through this crisis situation, she recommended classes for me to take that would cause the court to look on me favorably, she delayed my case until a more graceful prosecutor assumed the role, she provided a legal team that I was able to call and get answers from when I needed consultation, but she cared enough to make herself available to me when she was required for the more difficult questions that I had. She instructed me in a manner that made the prosecutor have to earn everything to make a case against me, and thanks to her we beat the case. Ambulance-chasing Lawyers have really given the entire community of lawyers a bad name, and watching Angela work has opened my eyes to a more noble and respectable side of the law profession. She stood in front of me and fought off the wrath of the American government and preserved my way of life as I had known it the past 15 years. I am thankful for noble people like Angela who are out in our society helping the average citizen. I hope I don't ever need a lawyer again, but if I do, I will have Angela by my side without a doubt.

Felony charge to not convicted to misdemeanor charge

From the start Angela showed great confidence and knowledge of my case. She got the felony to a misdemeanor along with my PI and now after 12 months my misdemeanor will be dismissed. I would definitely trust her judgment and experience. I'm in the health profession so this was very important to me.

Excellent help when needed most

After my DWI arrest I was very confused about what to do because I knew very little about the criminal justice process. Angela Hyde guided me through the process with superb knowledge of the process and treated me with respect during this ordeal. I highly recommend her.

Posted by Jon | May 19, 2015 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Won my case

They did more than I expected they know what there doing and was a very big help when I had questions. They did such a good job I didn't even have to go to court. I would highly recommend them to anybody that needs a good lawyer. There are very nice and willing to help and work with you if you don't ...have all the money.

  • 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.
