Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 60%

I am proud of my nearly 20 yrs of handling thousands of Chapter 7's. Offering this service at a reduced rate has brought thousands of clients great relief. Even raising fees slightly over the years still has me on the lower end of most local attorneys. We are being inundated with national legal chains who offer little relief to people in the area of cost and they are come and go. But I am still here doing what I have done since 1991.

Divorce and Separation 25%

I have handled thousands of uncontested divorces, legal separations, and annulments. I file these cases through Lincoln County in Eastern Washington for convenience and costs to the client. Lincoln County does NOT require an appearance in uncontested matters. I am proud to provide a low cost alternative to clients that otherwise would be required to file their uncontested matters in a local court that may require an appearance and hiring local appearance counsel.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 15%

I have handled thousands of bankruptcies over nearly 20 years. I do not take zero down chapter 13's. I do require a portion down to file. If it is a house saver/foreclosure Chapter 13, I do require my entire fee up front. Otherwise, I will quote how much I need upfront to file your Chapter 13 and the balance is to be paid through the plan over 3-5 yrs.

Tom Hyde is a horrible attorney!

Tom Hyde was the worst attorney I have ever experienced. First of all he is extremely arrogant, uncaring and unprofessional. You get the feeling he has a miserable life and takes it out on anyone, including his clients. I could get past that if he knew his job but even there he fails miserably. ... Without going into the gory details Tom gave me the complete WRONG legal advise which had long term ramifications. I was diagnosed with a serious illness after hiring him and during the process he just added to my nightmare. I am amazed that he has even one good review. These people must have found him on a "good day". I normally do not write reviews but if I can save anyone from Mr. Hyde I feel it is my duty. Run the other way is my advice, sad but true.

Posted by anonymous | March 09, 2011 | Uncontested Divorce

Fast, clean divorce

I'm a young woman in my early twenties, getting out of a bad marriage. My husband and I agreed to an uncontested divorce and we went about looking on line for an inexpensive attorney. I found Mr. Hyde's website and printed off the questionnaire that they require and the following day I was able to co...me in for an easy, free consultation. I had the paperwork in my hands two days later. I got them back to the Tacoma office and had them filed at Lincoln County two weeks later. I didn't have to pay any unknown fees and the workers (Jan and Sierra) were great help, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks guys! I appreciate all your work, I WILL recommend you to anybody I know who needs a divorce attorney.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Jan 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Tom has been practicing a number of years in the bankruptcy area of law. An attorney learns a lot through the various types of fact patterns they see in their careers and that knowledge helps provide an accurate analysis for a debtor when they need to know their options..Tom can provide that and advise you concerning your financial situation. He has no problem "saying it like it is" either which I also appreciate and believe in giving up front to the point advice!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Hyde is the consumate Chapter 7 bankruptcy professional. Mr. Hyde and I have often had many a well spirited debate about the practice of law. Much of it has to do with how we handle our client's and our approach to petition development. Mr. Hyde has developed an incredibly streamlined approach to representing his clients and it clearly has been effective. He is able to handle his clients with ease and finesse through his use of technology and database application. I have been 'Wowed' many times by the systematic approach he uses. It clearly works well and I endorse this attorney's work. "

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2010

updated on 09/08/2010

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
