All though I am in a still pending case, Jeff has seemed very responsible and professional. He knows the laws and can counter very rapidly to a DA accusations. If you are like me, and receive Jeff as your public defender... Consider yourself blessed as this man is an excellent lawyer. I have since my charges have changed my life style, but if there is any upcoming problems in my future I will continue to utlize the SUPER LAWYER, Jeff Hayden.
Jeff is an excellent attorney. If you want things done hire someone who is busy. Jeff is very knowledgeable in every aspect of law and legal process. He did not make false promises and got the best outcome for my case. You will not go wrong with this attorney if you lucky to hire him for your case.
One of the worse lawyers in San Mateo county. Hardly returns phone calls. Hardly comes to visit you and explain what’s goin on if you are a inmate. Came last minute and talked me into signing a last minute deal. Felt like he worked with the DA. Did not do a lot of things he said he would do. Hard to get a reach of. Paid him over $10,000 for nothing. Would of been better off with a public defender probably. Heard from many other people that his lawyer is horrible.
Mr. Hayden did absolutely nothing for me except postpone my case and its being going on 2yrs for a extremely easy case I am very unhappy with his conduct he never returns any of his calls he made me feel like I wasn't good enough to represent
