Outstanding and Caring!

Scott is a very caring and compassionate lawyer who truly believes in his clients. Never judging them from the clients past, his mission is to make your life better going forward. Besides being detailed and thorough ,he also is very good at knowing the landscape and judges in the courtroom. This proa...ctive approach made my case go without issue. Emails and communication are prompt and succinct and you always know where you stand with Scott. His experience in the AZ Legal system is invaluable and worth your time and investment. Scott was recommend to me by a top attorney in Phoenix in his field of expertise and I will also recommend Scott to anyone seeking a top attorney. Class act, four stars! Thank you Scott for helping me and my family get through our difficult times only to be in a better place afterwards.

Great Service!

After the loss of a loved one, I needed to get my financial and legal affairs in order. Scott took the time to discuss several options and he worked with me to determine the best solution for my estate. He was professional and provided excellent customer service. I highly recommend the Law Office of ...Scott W. Hyder and would not hesitate to work with Scott in the future.

Excellent Attorney

We used Scott Hyder for a BK. He did a great job on our case. We stayed very well informed of what was going on with the case and he was extremely knowledgeable about how to proceed. We especially loved how easy he was to get a hold of at anytime of the day.

Outstanding advisor and exceptional customer service

Scott handled the bankruptcy filing for my older brother. My brother is a very hard worker, but the recent economy has not been kind to small contractors. He is great at what he does, but had no clue how to deal with the overwhelming debt left by people unable to pay him. My work frequently involv...es working with or hiring attorneys in Michigan. It would be an unusual week that I am not meeting with or preparing documentation for an attorney or legal department. One of the attorneys in Michigan recommended Scott. My wife (a CPA) and I flew to Arizona to meet with Scott and help my brother figure out what to do. Scott was very clear about the options, the costs, and the complexity. He had very long, very specific worksheets to aid in the data organization. He was both clear on what we needed to provide and quite patient when asked how it would be used. My brother, while very good at what he does, had no clue what was going on with the legal side of getting this resolved. Scott was consistently very prompt in returning calls and emails and was able to shift away from legal language and explain to my brother, in plain English, what was happening. Like many clients, my brother asked for some things that could not be supported with documentation. Scott was polite, but clear that he would assist in every way possible within the law, but would have nothing to do with anything beyond that. Scott was clear about time-frames and equally clear about the parts of the process that he could not predict. Some parts are decided or scheduled by others and he was able to say he did not know. This is not a real common trait in professionals. I would highly recommend Scott as an attorney. His ethics, his attention to detail, his patience, and his frequent reminders combined to get this problem resolved as quickly and simply as possible.

"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."
