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.

Helpful and Knowledgeable

Scott is a great lawyer to work with on bankruptcy. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He was very specific on everything we needed to do and explained our options. He did not charge a fee just to discuss our case before we made the final decision to file and to hire him. Some attorneys will charge... you a fee to even start discussing the process with you. Scott was always willing to answer questions and always treated us with respect. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering bankruptcy! I was very thankful that we chose him to represent us.

Professional, Informative and On time

Mr. Hyder is very professional and explained all of our options to us through out the course of our bankruptcy. He made sure we understood what was going on and answered all of our emails and phone calls each day. It is important to trust your lawyer, and we were able to do just that with Scott.

Divorce & Bankruptcy Freedom Hyder Style

Let me preface my review by 1st saying it was an excruciating, hellacious 8 years! But, had it not of been for the intervention of Scott Hyder, I am absolutely sure it would have continued for only God knows how long! Looking back, the actual divorce itself was in hindsight the "easy" part! That onl...y took 13 months! It's what happened after that nearly took me down. Ok Clift Notes now in order to get to the heart of this review. Over 4 years of getting served repetitively by my ex for everything from child support to spousal maintenance. It was during year 4 that my ex chose bankruptcy as a solution of eliminating marital debt. Upon advisement from my then attorney, I followed suit. I completely believed this would be the final step in total freedom from my "past" life. Boy was I wrong! About 1/2 way thru my chapter 7 BK, I answered my front door to what had become an unwelcome practice - a server asking me if I was "so and so" , signing, and hearing that all too familiar phrase; "You've been served"! AGAIN???!!!! This time would be different however, and the turning point in my case. My ex was suing me for a rather complicated statute common in many divorces, and sadly, completely legal! A maneuver that turned out to be very calculated and planned by his attorney to quote "bury me"! Suddenly, my life spun down an impossible trajectory of courts, attorneys and misinformation galore! I couldn't seem to find competent council anywhere and for the most part thought to myself; "This is it! Whatever I haven't lost, I'm about to"! I felt totally defeated and lost. I'd heard about a "free" resource in the courthouse where I could receive council that might perhaps shed some light on my situation. At that point I had absolutely nothing more to lose. Enter, Scott Hyder. I immediately felt comforted by Scott and his thorough yet calming presence. Upon examination of my 6 inch binder (I'm not kidding), full of the previous years proceedings, Scott advised me what he felt would be necessary to not only get me through this, but come out the other side untouchable. Scott laid out an almost 4 year plan, beginning with a conversion to a chapter 13 BK. Although, intensely complicated, Scott never failed to explain each step thoroughly & answer every question I had, no matter how simple. Scott was literally by my side every step of the way, not only ensuring I remained compliant with the courts constant request, but to encourage me, compliment every small victory, and remain vigilant on my case! He was never unavailable to me. For practically 4 years, I counted on Scott more than I had almost anybody else in my life! I broke down countless times, almost gave up a few times, and believed I could no longer endure this life lesson over and over again! He was just there...always! Fast forward to February 2015 and receiving the call from Scott..."You're done! you did it! And I'm so proud of you and thank you"! I burst into tears. I was so happy! Yes, I was proud of myself for percervering through 4 very difficult years! Yes, I had done it! But not by myself! I would have never made it through this had it not been for Scott! Period! Four years is a long time to "partner" with someone you barely know! In the most painful, unbelievable and private of circumstances, I put my trust in Scott Hyder and he never stopped fighting for me...not once! I am starting my life over now. The future is completely bright and I get to have that because of my friend, my attorney, Scott Hyder. I simply adore and honor you Scott...THANK YOU! Forever...THANK YOU!

"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."
