I especially appreciate that they make us feel like our business is important to them instead of just focusing on billable hours like most other firms. I whole-heartedly recommend Hackler Flynn & Associates for any legal issue you may have. They are truly in your corner and work at lightening speed.

Great communicators, great advice transparent with fees!

This firm has been great! I needed help with a difficult situation. Michelle and Cindy, as well as their staff communication was always prompt, candid and transparent ! They were supportive and respectful of my decisions, which I greatly appreciated. Michelle and I agreed that something else was going on and doing a Cease & Desist Letter would escalate the situation which I did not want.

Hackler Flynn Law is fantastic!

On our case, Angela was AWESOME! She was like a magician. She was very prepared, professional but also very sociable, a quick thinker, and great executor. In the opening statements, she was amazing. Everything she said was spot on and I could tell she really paid close attention and took good notes on our prep. calls. It was as if she was reading my mind, as I sat there and listened to her speak our summary and make the points of our case. Having Angela in the room with us made it so easy. We hardly had to say anything. Our legal fees were well spent. Angela also got us the results we wanted, we settled at what we believe is a very fair settlement. We are very happy with it. Even though Angela mentioned, and we believe, had we not settled and gone to a hearing, we would have decisively prevailed with Angela with us. Hacker Flynn Lawyers are the absolute best ... and in our case, Angela’s magnificent performance and results is a major reason why. If we have any other related legal issues, business or personal, we will not call anyone else. We will call Hackler Flynn Law to either assist us directly or refer.

Excellent resource

I was directed to Cynthia Flynn by a very valued vendor, Stone Tappeert Insurance. What an absolutely fantastic recommendation! We are a national company with operations centers in 9 states and when an employment issues arises it has been difficult , nearly impossible, to find a resource that can provide quality counsel. Cynthia's firm provided that legal support and assisted me in possibly avoiding a serious HR issue. Her support staff is friending, very knowledgeable, prompt with responses and Cynthia has the legal expertise to ensure my company follows the complicated guidelines that surrounds the business community. For me.... Cynthia was a "real valuable find".

Best in the business!

Hackler Flynn and Associates has represented my business on multiple contracts and agreements with large banks. It’s great to have an attorney that helps me understand contract law and how to best navigate them to protect my companies best interests. I am a marketer and couldn’t tell you the first thing about contracts but luckily I have HFA and have been nothing but pleased with the representation I have received. At HFA they are a team of brilliant attorneys who will aggressively fight for you! If I could give a 10 star rating I would! I highly recommend Cindy, Angela and the rest of the team! I can’t thank you enough for all your help!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Cindy is the type of person and attorney you go to when you want to hand something off into capable hands so you can focus on your business. If you are an employer of a small or middle market company, you need to talk with Cindy."

Randi Klein

Employment and labor Attorney | Jun 25
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Cynthia at a TEN (The Esquire Network) meeting. I heard her introduce herself and talk about her practice and her passion for representing employers. What she had to say resonated with me because I could see that she was speaking both from personal experience and from the heart. She spoke eloquently about how her parents' business and personal lives suffered from lawsuits. It is important to hear this side because so often the public only hears from the plaintiff or employee side. The next time I saw Cynthia was when she gave an hour talk at the Beverly Hills Bar Association on creating and successfully running a vitual office. I then sought her out and recommended her as a speaker in other networking groups, and in my own online lawyers networking group. Since then, Cynthia and I have become friends. Cynthia is highly qualified and extremely passionate about her work. I recommend her for anyone seeking representation on the employers side of employment law."

Anthony Radogna

Corporate and incorporation Attorney | Feb 07

"I endorse this lawyer. Cynthia has a great reputation. She is kind and hard working. Every now and again I will have a client that needs other services that I can not provide.
