Stay away choose another legal Representative

This Lawyer didn't file the paperwork on time and was totally disorganized….I would NOT recommend this lawyer as he failed to do the things on time which cause extreme damage to my overall situation and emotional distress mostly because the lawyer said he had things taken care of and all pertinent in...formation and failed to file stuff in a timely matter. DONT risk your livelihood or take a chance on this lawyer STAY AWAY. Lack of proffesionalism and emotional distress is not worth it!!!!

I can say with confidence that I have not ever missed any filing for any client. Generally, if a bankruptcy debtor is unhappy, it is because he or she did not follow instructions timely, was not honest with the attorney regarding assets, or took offense at my honest legal advice and opinion that was not easy for the client to hear. Nevertheless, comments, both good and bad, are always appreciated.

Out of 7 BK lawyers he was the only one that said I had a shot. AND HE WAS RIGHT!!!

I'd like to take a moment to introduce all of my friends to the best lawyer in AZ. I had a very unique real estate case and was told by multiple lawyers I had no chance. They all said that my case was weak and to just "take the hit". My 7th lawyer happened to be Scott Hyder. Not only did he listen... to my case but he actually said we might have a shot! A couple of months later we ended up winning the whole case! Not just a part of it or meeting in the middle. He got the judge to concede along with the other two lawyers of the big shot firms. I fully endorse Scott Hyder! I recommend to give him a call if you want the job done right! THANK YOU Scott Hyder for ALL YOU HAVE DONE!!! p.s. If anyone wants to call me and ask particular questions, I'm an open book. Ruben [redacted]

Highly Professional and Trustworthy

I couldn't have picked a better attorney to handle my bankruptcy than Scott. With the death of my husband, I was emotionally and and financially distressed and was at a loss of what to do. I knew I had to make a painful decision to file bankruptcy, but I knew nothing about the process. At our first m...eeting, I felt very comfortable with Scott because he addressed my biggest worries and answered every question I had before I even asked it. He is a man with true integrity and is extremely knowledgable and was always available to help me with anything. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a competent, compassionate, and trustworthy attorney to guide them through such a difficult situation. Forever Grateful.

very efficient

Scott was very quick to respond to my initial request for assistance and was willing to help me on a weekend day because he understood the urgency of my need. He is proficient in his field and extremely well-spoken and well-written and his expertise was what made the difference in my case. Thank you ...for your assistance.

Advice

Scott was most helpful. He answered all my questions plus some I should have asked but had overlooked. The research he did after our consultation made my decision easier and me more confident that I was doing the right thing.

"I have known and worked with Scott for several years. He is one of the most caring and considerate people I have ever met. As a lawyer he exemplifies the ultimate professional. I include Scott in a small handful of attorneys who I hold in the highest possible regard. Scott fights hard for his clients. He does not use his clients as guineas pigs in order for him to learn the law. He is an adamant researcher and a practical problem solver. Scott has a wonderful reputation in the bankruptcy community and is well respected by his fellow lawyers and judges. In additional to being a great lawyer Scott is a gifted teacher. He has been a law professor for several years. I have had the experience of meeting with some of his law students. They all have wonderful things to say about Professor Hyder. His love of the law is reflected in their eyes. The legal profession will better as a result of his dedication to his students and the practice of law. I am blessed to know Scott."
