Top Notch Attorney

Top Notch Attorney Jeremy took on our challenging case to go through the process of  litigation.  He was able to help us achieve a settlement out of court.  Jeremy was knowledgeable, efficient, and detail oriented, backed up with tremendous care for our best interest.  This was an emotional case a...fter the loss of our father.  Jeremy took us under his wing giving us sage advice that felt very fatherly; as if we were his daughters.  We felt confident that we were in the best of hands as he guided us to put closure on our case.  The extra bonus when working with him is his witty sense of humor and compassion that will keep you smiling through the process.  On top of all that, his staff is just as amazing, knowledgeable, and always had a cheerful disposition!  You will definitely get the Nordstrom experience with this firm.

Brilliant and the very BEST!!!

Extraordinary, most brilliant attorney Jeremy Hyndman is the one you want to have for legal representation. My sister and I were almost left out of probate from our fathers will with the classic stepmother story. Our case turned out for the best possible scenario under the unfortunate circumstances, ...and we are eternally grateful for Jeremy’s wise, most knowledgeable guidance. It’s amazing to have an attorney of such world class high caliber right here in Walla Walla, WA. Jeremy Hyndman and team is who you definitely want, and you can be assured you have the very BEST!

Securities law suit

Jeremy Hyndman was selected by me by pure chance, from the computer. I asked several friends for a referral and none had personal experience. After a telephone interview my wife and I met with him and felt confident that he would represent us well, which he did. I was amazed at the documentation he a...ccumulated and long hours he must have put in. Our case was not high profile and chances for a win were at best 50/50. We received a fair settlement and walked away with a great respect for his hard work and pleasant personality. I would highly reccomend him. Richard.V, MD

Outstanding service all the way through!

Outstanding legal advice, follow through and payout. Jeremy Hyndman is by far the most responsive, tenacious and communicative attorney I have worked with in my 30 years in business. He was able to get a settlement that was three times larger than we were initially offered. Perhaps more importantl...y he took the burden of dealing with a very difficult situation off our plate and let us know exactly what was happening every step of the way.

Excellent Attorney

We had an outstanding final outcome with our law suit. Jeremy is knowledgeable and honest. He returned calls or emails in a very timely fashion. His tenacity in getting the best outcome for us was amazing. We are very appreciative and grateful.

"Although new to Avvo it is immediately obvious that Mr. Hyndman has a great deal of experience. The answer I just reviewed was accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney. Mr. Hyndman's language abilities in German and Mandarin are also unusual of potential enormous value."

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.
