After walking in to the Haynes law firm like a deer in the headlights, I was greeted by Jenny Palmer, and she took care of my whole situation for me without any stress or headaches. I would 100% recommend the Haynes Law firm to take care of your divorce for you. Thank you kindly for getting me retired in a timely manner yours truly Lawrence Trice

Crista Haynes and her team I worked with did an amazing job for me, I worked with both Sandi and Jen on 2 different cases and one case has been settled and my child was returned to me fully. It did take time, a lot of time, but it was done right and properly. Reaching goals that truly mean something in life takes time and a lot of perseverance and willingness to cooperate.

If ever i were to recommend a law firm it would positively be Haynes Law Firm. Crista and her entire staff, especially Jenni Palmer, were so professional with my case but yet me feel so comfortable during the entire process. Working diligently for almost four years they were taking care of me and my case as if it was the only one on the books. If you want to have a strong team behind you and your case I would choose Haynes time and time again.

I hired the Haynes Law firm for a child dependency issue, and throughout the process my case manager as well as Crista always acted and did what was in my best interest and couldn’t be happier with the outcome

Mrs Haynes has been there for me through my long drawn out Divorce, Custody and CPS cases. She helped stand up for me in court, and did not let anyone take advantage of me. Going to court for me is a very overwhelming and scary situation and prior to Mrs Haynes it was not going well. Crista is well liked in the court room and very professional. She is quick to the point and pays attention to detail. I will always be grateful to the Haynes Law Firm, who restored my dignity, settled my divorce, got my children back. The staff is very smart and supportive as well.

My Family Law Case had been going on for 12 years before I found Crista. I wish I had found her sooner. Crista was able to achieve in one hearing what 10 other attorneys had not been able to achieve in that 12 year period. How did she do it? She knew the law and how to apply it to achieve the best outcome. Hands down, Crista is the very best! To add a cherry on top, her team supports her so that she can do the good work of protecting families. They are eager to help and her office is every bit as efficient as she. Don’t look any further, Crista is the best!

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
