Awful! Do NOT use her. I can NOT get the office or Ms. Hynes to return my calls or emails. It's been over 3 months since my mediation settled and I STILL cannot even get an update from her office. She took my payment and that was the last I heard from her despite multiple attempts to reach out. You're better off sharing a divorce attorney and going to mediation alone than paying THOSANDS to be ignored. Update: After this review was posted, she reached out to send me paperwork that she was supposed to have prepared, but the opposing attorney prepared anyway. I requested specific changes this document. She then sent me these thrown in to an entirely different generic document. When I asked to discuss things with her, she did so over the phone. She didn't have my file or paperwork in front of her and didn't know the first thing about my case! To top it all off, she had her SECRETARY call me in an attempt to belittle me after she saw this review on Google. Thank God I have already moved on to a real attorney who is concerned about law and her clients and their families! Unprofessionalism at its finest! I do not know how she is still in business. If you care at all how your divorce or custody is handled, do NOT use Mrs. Hynes.

I paid $200 for a 10 min conversation and now can not get this office to return any of my calls or emails! Don’t waste your money! This has been going on 5 months!

"Danielle's determination, legal experience, and familiarity with the Houston and Peach county legal systems was invaluable during our recent custody and child support contempt cases. She didn't just meet our expectations as a skilled attorney, but exceeded them in all areas of our case. She was especially skilled in the courtroom ensuring that the facts of our case were brought out in a thorough and structure way. I would highly recommend her in any case that might require courtroom skill and legal oration."

This law firm has been amazing! Unfortunately I have been through 3 other attorneys between moves, attorney's changing practice type, and not having availability to take the cases. Danielle and her entire team have been the most compassionate, and professional that I have dealt with. Every letter or email Danielle has sent on my behalf has been professional and direct which is very helpful in a time where our emotions are high. She and her team were so understanding and willing to listen - on many occasions Danielle herself even gave me a quick pep talk on how to handle situations. This whole team of professionals have made this horrific experience much easier to deal with. We have not been to court yet, but "win" or "lose" my opinion won't change. Danielle has done everything in her power to fight for my 9 yr old who doesn't have a voice in the court system. Thank you to each of you at Hynes Family Law for helping me keep my sanity through this case.

Let me respond to Mr Richard Herring's recent review: He posted a review a week ago, and says it took him two years to get into court. Interestingly, I believe our firm would remember a client by this name if we represented him for that length of time. So, Mr. Herring, please have the nerve to back up your comments with your real name, if you are a client, after all. We cannot respond to concerns a client may have if we did not know these things actually happened. This is the first we have heard your name, or heard that any of this occurred.

Apparently, your knowledge of the legal system from an overall perspective is limited - that is obvious from many of your assumptions and commentary. Get your facts straight, whatever your name is, and take out your frustrations in whatever forum is actually appropriate. This is not the appropriate one.

We used Ms. Hynes for a custody suit. She failed to share information that was provided by the opposing side with us. After the court case was over, we requested our files. The first set only had copies of some pages of the documents rather than all pages. The second set was completely disorganized. Both sets contained documents from other clients files with copies of confidential emails. I can't believe that their office does not handle these files more carefully. It took us over 2 years to get a court date. What payments and when they were due was never clear as we never received any billing. At one time when we questions why we did not yet have a court date, we were told it was because we owed $500. We never received any bill and were never told that we had to pay this $500 to get a court date. We had already paid thousands at that point. Another time we questioned why we did not have a court date, we were told it was because the judge assigned to our case had no available openings. When we contacted the judge's clerk, we were told there were plenty of openings available. We got lied to alot.

Incredible, incredible lady!!!.....Very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Guided me through the entire process, letting me know what to expect. Highly recommended. Best in the area in my opinion.

That Ms Hynes leaves herself five stars and her late husband does also should speak for itself! Google needs to do something with this system. I should've shopped around more for a divorce lawyer before wasting my money on this lawyer. They wouldn't even let me meet her! It was 1 year and 8 months before I even met her. I hired her in June of 2015 and I fired her in March of 2017. It was after I finally met her and she was rude and condescending that I decided to fire her! They weren't doing anything. I changed it ONE TIME in all her lies responding to my reviews in her terrible temper, she said I changed it four times! To what?! I changed it from "Separate maintenance" to divorce in April of 2016 after I found my husband's condoms. ONE TIME NOT FOUR. The office lost papers about our debt that I gave them, they never returned my calls and kept asking for more and more money. Oh we're doing the retirement, that's more. They charged me more because my husband disputed it because they were supposed to ask for alimony and they did not even put that in the papers when they filed them! My husband would not even have had to dispute it. We were married over 30 years and he already told me I'd get half his retirement and the smaller house. When I hired my new lawyer she had to re file the paperwork. This was total dishonesty on Ms Hynes part, I also believe they thought I'd just find someone else and get a job and they were just dragging their feet waiting on me. I changed it ONE time. I was never rude to any of her staff. I even asked her husband/secretary if I was ever rude to him, he said, "No" My new lawyer got me half his retirement, the smaller house all paid for AND alimony. All that just with mediation not even having to go to court! I even reported Ms. Hynes to the Georgia Bar Association per the advice of another local lawyer, they said I could file a suit against her but I probably won't bother if she'll stop harassing me and trying to remove my reviews! I never yelled at her or anyone at her office. My new lawyer had me do a spread sheet of all the many jobs I've had, applied for and interviewed for. I did a spread sheet of my expenses(Hynes should have had me do this before accusing me of not trying hard enough- she's very proud of herself but she was as my lawyer supposed to be on my side not criticizing me and telling me I should be more like her), after all that work my new lawyer declared I'd be a great personal assistant and I would, after all that's what I was for 30 years.(A great personal assistant wife AND Mom!) I now have a successful home business; two books published and an I'm an Airbnb superhost.

Note; Her husband, James passed away in July 2017

Hands down one of the best attorneys in central Georgia.

Ms. Hynes was extremely helpful as I was going through a long and drawn out divorce and custody battle. She fought for me and made sure that my kids and I were take care of. She also helped me attain a protective order and gave me advice as I filed pro se. Hopefully, I won't need her services again, but if do, I will be calling her first thing!

Mrs. Hynes and her staff have been very knowledgeable for the past 4 years! To help me fight a case that has been a ongoing custody battle for seven years. By the grace of God I found Mrs. Hynes who was there to fight this fight and help me to regain custody of all four of my children on May 6 2019! They were always very prompt and on point with any advice given I would recommend them to anyone!

By far the best attorney you could ever hope for! She has years of experience and really takes the time to study and get to know your case. She has put her heart and soul into my case and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed through both of my divorces and custody cases. The process was always explained to me.(communication is key in any situation, Danielle and her staff were crystal clear on everything and it was even written for refrence) Danielle fought hard for my children's best intrest as well as mine. She went above and beyond. She and her staff did everything they could to ensure a great outcome. I could not have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thank you Danielle and Staff!!

Done a amazing job defiantly knows her stuff, has an awesome office staff as well...recommended a thousand times over.

I've read through the reviews and can only suspect that any negative ones were probably self caused. I worked with Danielle and her staff over the last 2 years. She has been by my side since the beginning. The knowledge/wisdom she had as well as court room demeanor was awesome. She's handled my divorce, and my custody matters. And at the end of the day, she provided me and my family a service that will never be forgotten. I recommend her for any of your family law needs.

She is and always will be a blessing for my family. I highly recommend her.

I don't even know where to begin with my experience with Danielle D'Eor Hynes. My epitome would be "Wow I don't know where I would be today without her!" I am a man and with her won custody of my kids. I had some family issues, hired her again, and the judge ruled in my favor. When you're making a choice of who you want to support you in court ,it is a big decision, and you want to make the right choice. Mrs. Hynes is the one I will continue to choose.

Mrs. Hynes has gone beyond what we ever expect or asked for. We used her for a child custody battle over 4 years ago and had to hire her again which we had hoped to never need her again, but luckily when we did she remembered us and our previous case. Sharp as a nail, full of so much knowledge, I have so much respect for Danielle Hynes.

This time we were dealing with Alienated children that with their mother was able to use DFCS on us. Luckily Danielle protected our family and even allowed us to hug her and cry on her shoulder whenever needed. She has given us advice to help us stay sane and healthy. She fights hard for good people and is amazingly a Lawyer with a heart. We will hopefully never need her again but if we do, we will hire Danielle again. Thank you for all you have done for our family Mrs. Hynes. We can't thank you enough!

Mrs. Whitney, Danielle's assistant has been very professional and helpful as well. With their team we felt very safe and loved. Thank you Whitney!

Ms. Hynes and her staff were wonderful! She came highly recommended, and I am so thankful we chose her to handle our case. I could not have asked for better care through our whole process.

Ms. Hynes forged my name to a document I did NOT approve or even SEE. The document I approved her to sign was changed in multiple places before she signed my name. I did not find out for over a year bc it was not sent to me. She would not even speak to me about it. Go to her at your own risk.

After almost 2 years finally got a court date so let's see how it goes before I start saying anything negative.

Charged an enormous amount in a "fixed price" agreement for an uncontested divorce that only went half way (to arbitration). She still insisted on the entire amount. Agreed, a fixed price is a fixed price, but she could have layered her representation in different ranges but appears desperation lost out to superior knowledge. Had to pay extra for the arbitrator. The opposing parties attorney was about one tenth of the charge of this one. Both parties got what they wanted. SHOP AROUND!!

Danielle was absolutely over the top amazing with our case! She took the time to understand our family & who we are as parents & to top it off; she always had our back! She relieved so much stress when it came to our custody case & still after our case she is great with following up! She was very organized & professional through out our whole case! There was never a time when we doubted her because she was always trying her best! Thank you Danielle for being amazing! -Mike & Kiley

Thank you Danielle,jim,and Whitney. Hands down the most wonderful family lawyers in middle ga. It is most unfortunate that anyone has to be put in a position in life to have to request a family lawyer but if you do I highly recommend Danielle hynes.she is very experienced and caring. As a father fighting with every ounce of my being for my children it was only with their help and guidance do I now get to come home to my children every night and am thankfull to Danielle and her staff for all they have done to make it possible.

Professional, compassionate and efficient.

Danielle and her team have been superb throughout this entire process, they have proven to be extremely proficient advocates for my child and I. Every email or phone call is answered that day by one of the knowledgeable staff members, if they are unable to answer the question or it is out of there realm, Danielle responds instantly. She has taken the time make sure that I understand all my rights as a father. She is a blend of finesse and aggression, I could not ask for more from this team.

Ms. Hynes is a smart choice to make in any family law case. She was always available and willing to answer any questions I had. Her team was very knowledge as well always able to assist if needed. Her knowledge of family law flooded through the court room and made the opposing attorney look like a joke.
