I hired Mr. J. Creighton Hayes for my divorce, custody and child support case. He listened well, told me my options and executed exactly what he said he would do. I was more than pleased with his work and have hired him again to alter my court agreements as circumstances have now changed. I recommend him anytime someone is seeking an attorney.

Creighton does his job very cleanly and meticulously. I hired him for about a year to handle my domestic violence as well as divorce case. Both the cases were completed and I haven't had an issue since then.

Creighton was an excellent attorney. Not only was he reasonably priced, he did an excellent job and all my cases were dismissed. He is very professional yet a likable down to earth guy. I will use him again, hopefully not, but if needed! M

I had a minor case which was due to having a charge pressed against me for child neglect. When I stepped in for consultation with Mr. Creighton I immediately wanted him to be my lawyer. His work is good and the charges against me was dropped due to his knowledge of his profession.

Creighton Hayes helped me with a legal name-change. This would have been a confusing process for me if it weren't for his help. He was extremely professional, helpful, and timely. He kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was very pleased with the services provided, and I will definitely use Creighton Hayes for future legal help.

Quoted me an estimate up front and it was pretty accurate once everything was done. Got the child support agreement published by the court in a timely manner. Excellent experience!
