I have hired Mr. Hyman several times. He is the most knowledgeable defense attorney I know in the state of Florida. He cares about his clients, and he wants the best outcome. He's very honest and will tell you up front what you are possibly looking at. He works hours and hours and never gives up. I was so impressed watching him argue in court! This man is a genius. I would recommend him to anybody.

Very very impressed with Mr Hyman. Court and everything was dragged on for 3 years, as it was during Covid. I was hoping for a reduction in charges, and probably court cost/probation. I figured that was my best case scenario. Finally, we went to a suppression hearing. Mr Hyman was very well prepared with many previous court cases to back up his argument. He got the entire case thrown out, and the arrest was recorded as an illegal arrest. I’m still in shock, but you won’t be disappointed if you decide to go with him! Price was extremely fair as well. I’d have paid over double more for that kind of verdict!

The best DUI attorney in Central Florida. Got mine dismissed. He's recognized by judges and he knows the law to a tee. Would recommend him and have to many, many people.

I spoke with 2 other attorneys before deciding to go with Mr. Hyman, he was not the least expensive, but when I spoke with him he exuded confidence and based on the short time I spent with him, he had a very convincing argument for my case. He was very professional and it was amazing to watch him cross examine witnesses. I was looking at a lengthy prison sentence and I walked away with what I considered a light sentence considering my situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Hyman.

This man is a criminal. Taking money to keep filing motions to just make the case drag out for a murderer. He makes a mockery of our judicial system because if you have money he will just keep filing and charging. No regard to the actual victims who have to keep living through this as he drags it out in courts with nonsense. How he sleeps at night is beyond comprehension. Disgusting, inhumane. But hey he doesn’t care as long as you can pay! He just keeps filing motions! Victims of murder in no way have any actual rights. And believe me he doesn’t care! Keep giving him that money! Pure evil.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
