A very satisfied client

Excellent lawyer and nice guy! Actually cared about me & my issue & worked hard to get it done without costing me my house. Glad he's on his own, tho. The staff at his previous office weren't the most welcoming even when he was. The only reason I went there was because of him. Next time I have a ...legal issue, I look forward to seeing him in a more friendly environment. Congrats, Ben!

I contacted Mr. Hayek to represent me in handling a decree/custody modification. I contacted his office and within days was seen by Mr.Hayek. Knowing of my financial situation Mr. Hayek did not hesitate to accept my case. Since then he has made every effort to answer every answer, concern I have rega...rding our case. At a point when no other attorney seemed to care about my situation, Mr. Hayek was there to assist and to reassure me. I have had legal representation in the past and by far Mr Hayek is the most responsive, attentive, caring attorney I have had thus far.

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.
