Expert in his field

I was trying to sell a home and settle outstanding taxes from a divorce but the ex was going through a bankruptcy. So I needed a BK attorney to help me navigate through the BK system to resolve the two issues and Scott was highly recommended. He knew exactly what I needed as far as documentation for ...the case and walked me through every step in the process. He worked with me for over a year with the entire process and he has been amazing. He was very helpful and thorough when answering questions and he was very communicative with any changes to the case. Scott made this process much less stressful than it could have been and he always has the client’s best interest in mind. If I ever need to consult a bankruptcy attorney again, Scott will be my first (and only) call. If you need a bankruptcy attorney, Scott Hyder is the guy to get the job done!

Review for Scott W. Hyder

I recently hired Scott Hyder to help me with my Estate Plan and all the elements that comprise it. I found him knowledgeable, experienced and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend him.

I would have been lost without Scott

In January 2022, my wife died, I found out at 64, my job was ending and I was completely devastated emotionally by the loss of my wife. I had no idea how to move forward and contacted Scott. He was helpful, communicative, and caring. His efforts on my behalf really eased my worries and helped ...me get through the roughest spot in my life. If you need help with probate or settling an estate, he made everything clear and manageable. I highly recommend Scott.

Poa and Will

Scott helped me with my power of attorney and will. As a single mom it was important to have peace of mind that my son will be taken care of after I’m gone. He helped me determine whether a will or trust was the best route for my situation, answering all my questions. He not only drew up and filed al...l of my paperwork but he arranged the notary and witnesses for me. The process was fast, convenient, and affordable. On top of that he has excellent customer service and is absolutely knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him!

My BK Hero!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Scott Hyder and his services. I had a BK Chapter 7 dismissed 1.5 years ago that came back to life because I had moved and didn't get some documents. Naturally I freaked out because I thought it was over so I reached out to Scott and he put my mind at e...ase right away. He was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had, plus some I didnt even know to ask! He smoothly resolved the situation with my trustee and I counted on him for everything. He responded to emails and phone calls nearly instantaneously and made the whole process less stressful! If I ever have to refer someone to a BK attorney it will be him for sure! He's a lifesaver and I cant thank him enough!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
