Review for Lawyer J.T I had a very disappointing experience with this lawyer. I paid $440 for a one-hour consultation, expecting professional help with my case. Unfortunately, the lawyer did not even take the time to review the documents I provided in advance. Throughout the call, I felt blamed and misjudged instead of being supported. The conversation lacked structure, and rather than offering clear solutions, we kept going in circles. To make matters worse, the lawyer raised her voice, which I found unprofessional, especially since I was already dealing with a frustrating situation. As a client, I expect professionalism, calmness in response to frustration, and a focus on solutions – especially when we are paying for your expertise and guidance. Unfortunately, I did not receive that level of care or support during this consultation. I would not recommend this lawyer based on my experience.

John Hyde and his team are miracle workers. I had an issue with a former employer and my case went on for about 12 months. Throughout the whole ordeal John was very supportive and confident. He did not give up until he got me what I deserved. I was very happy with the settlement that John negotiated. I don't think I could have done so well, with any other firm. He knows his stuff and his staff are incredible also. Thank you John and team for making this all possible

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. John Hyde and Mr. Oren Barbalat at HYDE HR LAW firm for the past two years during a challenging situation. I found them to be highly professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I couldn’t have asked for better lawyers. They operate with a high level of compassion that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I must mention that Mr. Barbalat who handled much of my case was very helpful, responsive, a great listener, and provided wise counsel. I am extremely grateful for all the support and guidance they provided me with. Thank you Mr. John Hyde, Mr. Oren Barbalat, and Ms. Maria Opera for the great service!

I reached out to Hyde HR Law after they came highly recommended by a colleague at another company. I was not disappointed, John and his team explained the process and our best strategy, they reviewed and provided guidance on the overall situation relating to my termination notice. The team was very professional and dealt with my concerns in a timely manner. Thanks John!

John and Oren went above and beyond over the course of almost 18 months of representation. They were always there to answer questions and provided sound legal advice. They were able to achieve an excellent outcome for all parties involved in the litigation. I have no issues fully recommending John and Oren for any HR related matters. If you are searching for legal representation in the banking or capital markets sector for HR related matters they are a must call!
