The Law Office of Deidra Haynes

Rayo she good

This review is only for the consultation process. I’m sure Attorney Haynes and her staff are wonderful. But I would hope they take this review as constructive criticism and find a better way for consultations. I understand they cannot give you their pricing until they look at the case but they could at least give a ballpark guesstimate. I told them I had a pro bono lawyer previously and I am low income, I asked what range would my type of case be in. They said they had no idea. So when I paid the $200 consultation fee, I spoke for 30 minutes and while we were speaking, the lawyers must’ve taken a look at it and quoted $8500 for a JP case. I was told the retainer was normal. That could’ve been told to me before I scheduled the consultation. If that is the ballpark for a JP case with no assets to divide or anything complicated, then that had to be something they could say as we scheduled the call. I could’ve chosen not to waste anyone’s time, by saying I can’t afford that range. They said it varies for everyone but in all honesty it feels like a way to collect money. Especially after calling other lawyers and they give a range for their fees. It just really seemed so shady to take money from a low income family.

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Stephanie Colombo from Diedra N. Hayes’ office, and I cannot say enough great things about my experience. Stephanie was absolutely amazing thorough, professional, and incredibly detailed every step of the way. She made sure my children’s best interests were protected at all times, and her dedication truly showed. This is an outstanding law office with great integrity. On matters outside their direct expertise, they didn’t pretend to have all the answers, instead, they immediately connected me with the right attorneys to ensure I was fully supported. That level of honesty and client care is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you again to the entire team. Highly recommend this firm!

Frieda was very polite, professional, and respectful throughout the intake process. She really took the time to listen, gave clear and helpful information, and was patient as I explained my situation in detail. Her calm and professional demeanor made the whole experience feel smooth and reassuring.

Having conversations around what I have been going through with Frida was so relieving. She took her time to listen with empathy and kindness. In the course of our conversation she said to me "No one should go through what you have gone through" and those words left a mark on me.

Wealth. Was so Helpful. Empathetic. Especially for a woman to try to understand where I’m coming from. Fairness in the court room does matter!! To finally feel like you even just have a chance to fight back feels good!!! 😊

Frida has good communication & great customer service. Very understanding & people’s person. She answered all my questions & explain everything. Looking forward to speaking to her again.
