This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Ms. Hayes. Even before hiring her, she was looking out for the best outcome for us. I really appreciated her approachability.

Would not Recommend

I would not recommend this lawyer. She made many mistakes in communication with my case. I feel as if she did not put much time and effort and basically gave me information that was not true and inaccurate.

Mr. S.C., I was happy to take on the final stage of your criminal case pro bono (for free) when your prior lawyer was unable to proceed. I am sorry you felt uninformed, and I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
