I have been a client of Hyland and Padilla for over 13 years. I am very pleased with their services, their personal attention, and their friendly support. It is always a pleasure to speak with them, no matter how much time has passed. They create a comfortable atmosphere and help to assuage feelings of fear and anxiety, whether in the office, on the phone, or in the courtroom. I first retained Mr. Hyland as my attorney when I was hit in an automobile accident over 13 years ago. I had never hired an attorney prior to this incident. Mr. Hyland did a wonderful job, and the case ended in my favor. We established such a wonderful rapport that 10 years later when I was rear ended by another vehicle, he was the only attorney I wanted to represent me. This court case was nowhere near a pleasant experience for me, and I never want to experience anything like it ever again. However, if I ever had to it all again, there is no one on this earth that I want by my side more than Chris Hyland. Not only did he provide good representation in the courtroom, but he took the time to adequately prepare me for what would happen every step along the way, from the deposition to the mediation, and ultimately, to the trial itself. Little did I know – and little did he know - that all of the time he spent with me preparing me for this case would prepare me for more than either of us could ever imagine. The day after the court case ended (in my favor, I might add), I was to appear in court for a different matter. Thanks to the diligent efforts of Mr. Hyland, I was more than prepared to represent myself in this hearing. The judge and the opposing party were notably impressed with my ability to both testify and cross-examine effectively. This was only the beginning. A month later, I was summoned by an attorney to give a deposition in another (unrelated) court case in a different state. I made such an impression on the attorney that after the case was resolved, she extended a job offer for me to work with her firm as an expert!! I am so blessed to have Mr. Hyland and the entire Hyland and Padilla staff by my side!!! I highly recommend Hyland and Padilla to anyone who has been involved in an automobile accident and is in need of legal assistance and/or representation.
