Absolutely The Best!!!!

Mr. Hyder was not only professional, but he was the most caring lawyer that really listened to us. When several lawyers told us that we would have to file a chapter 13, he worked very hard and we were able to close on a chapter 7. He is very meticulous with his work and it shows. He ALWAYS responded ...to my emails or phone calls within minutes. He explains everything so that it is easy to understand and I felt a huge relief during the process. He always told me not to worry that he will do the worrying. His fees are reasonable as well. If you are looking for a bankruptcy lawyer you need to give him a call. I promise you that he is the best.

Review of Scott W. Hyder, bankruptcy attorney

Scott Hyder was recommended to me by another attorney due to complications with my particular situation. He allowed for a generous amount of his time at the initial consultation, answering all my questions of which there were many, while providing suggestions along with advice, and no charge for th...is consult. I did proceed to hire Scott to represent me in filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and have had no regrets. Scott handled my case in a very professional, efficient manner, proving himself trustworthy as well as kind. I would highly recommend Scott Hyder if you are ever in need of an attorney in his field.

Wonderful Bankruptcy Attorney

Scott Hyder took the time to get to know my situation and actually listened to me. He kept me in the loop through the entire process and any questions I had were answered quickly. I can not say enough about how much he alleviated so much of my worry and stress. Scott is very comfortable to talk to an...d he was on top of things. Scott Hyder explain the difference between chapter 7 and 13 and which would best help me. His response whether by phone or email was always prompt. I highly recommend Scott Hyder as he knows hs business and he did a WONDERFUL job. Thank you very much 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."
