Best lawyer in Valencia, CA.

When I decided to divorce my husband, I hired Mr. Hayes immediately as my attorney in this matter. I had no idea that he (we) would be up against an Opposing Counsel that had no ethical or moral standards of any kind. Opposing Counsel was devious, deceptive and always changing wording in agreement...s up to the last second prior to signing the Marital Settlement Agreements. Mr. Hayes was so thorough, he would find these bait and switch paragraphs and correct them right away. He stood firm in what (he)we were requesting from the equity settlement and we got what we wanted. (actually more). All of this in a professional manner above and beyond what anyone could expect. I had a difficult divorce and Mr. Hayes made it easy for me emotionally and financially by mediation and keeping the matter out of court, meaning no face to face confrontation with my 'EX'... If you want an attorney that is FAIR, HONEST, ETHICAL, IN YOUR CORNER, ONE THAT WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, MR. HAYES IS THAT ATTORNEY!!!!
