Exemplary knowledge of the law

Scott has the ability to assist in a variety of legal issues. In my case he assisted in resolving an issue with my trust with satisfactory results. Thanks! Highly recommended.

An Outstanding Attorney!

I hired my attorney, Scott Hyder, outside of Avvo. Scott Hyder is a very excellent, highly skilled attorney, with many years of experience and an excellent reputation. He responds quickly to his client’s needs and treats them very well with care and respect. He explains the law and legal terminology ...in simple layman’s terms and is very supportive when events start to feel a bit overwhelming. Scott Hyder helped me over a 3-year period from March 2021 through April 2024. I was one of the beneficiaries of a large family trust that was being improperly administered. Proper books and records were not being maintained and periodic accounting reports were not being provided to the beneficiaries which was defeating the internal controls designed to prevent fraud. Scott Hyder used his legal skills, persistence, and persuasion to force the successor trustee to provide missing account statements and other financial documents which allowed the beneficiaries to determine the total amount and location of the trust assets. Scott Hyder did this without going to court, which would have been even more time consuming and expensive. Scott helped the beneficiaries determine the true value of the trust assets; the beneficiaries received the accounting information they were due; and three beneficiaries received a larger distribution of assets than they otherwise would have received. Scott Hyder accomplished all of this without the need for expensive time-consuming litigation. Thank you, Scott, for a job well done and for saving the beneficiaries so much money!

Trust Documents

Scott updated my trust documents in the most professional and efficient manner. He was sensitive to my unique needs handling the matter with compassion and concern. I highly recommend Scott for estate planning matters.

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!

"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."
