Integrity, value
I retained Dale Hayes to represent me in a civil case and we prevailed. Hiring a good attorney is stressful but once I sat down with Mr. Hayes he put me at ease. So much so that I did not worry about it because he had it all figured out. Mr. Hayes kept me informed along the way and his fee was fair. ...
