K.C.

Have employed the services of Scott on various occasions. Scott is a trusted professional with attention to detail and extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is always timely in his correspondence and very thorough in his work. Wise, friendly, dependable and intelligent- I know I can always count o...n his expertise and counsel when needed.

Very Professional

I hired Scott Hyder to do my Will. He made me feel very comfortable, was on time for any meeting we had and was very knowledgeable. I needed this done by a certain time and he made sure it was done by then. I would highly recommend Scott Hyder! You won't de disappointed.

Wonderful attorney for bankruptcy

Scott was very informative, kept me up to date, answered any questions I had, let me know what was going to happen before it actually did, he gave me all the options. Scott was always on time and kept his appointments. I would suggest Scott to everyone and would use him again in the future.

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.

Mr. Hyder was great to work with during my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Mr. Hyder promptly returned my calls, kept me informed during the process as it unfolded, and answered all of my questions.

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."
