My son was convicted of a very high-profile crime and was sentenced to about 40 years in prison, I was desperately in need of a very good appellant attorney because I believed in my son's innocence and felt that he was convicted unjustly. I was determined I wasn't leaving North Carolina until I obtained one of the best Appellant attorneys in that county, I reached out to a particular attorney who was referred to me as one of the best, but he was not available and referred me to Mr. Mark Hayes, the other attorney advised me that Mark Hayes was just as good as he was so I reached out to Mr. Hayes. From the moment I reached out to Mr Hayes, he heard my desperate cry for an attorney and once I explained the case he agreed to take on the case. I was very surprised that his fees were not as much as other high-profile attorneys in that area. Mr. Hayes immediately jumped on the case right away and began communicating his findings immediately, he kept me and my son in the loop the entire time and answered any questions with all honesty. After a while, I considered Mr. Hayes's family because I saw how he was working on my son's case and believed in my son's case. Mr Hayes was able to find so many errors in my son's case that I could not believe it. Along the way, the case got a little complicated and needed more attention to file the appeal (which would cost more money) and Mr Hayes was gracious enough to extend credit to me so that the case would not be put on hold. I honestly put my trust in Mr. Hayes and his capability to win this appeal because my son was convicted of 40 years of a crime I do not believe he committed. Fast forward, it ALL paid off. My prayers were answered! Mr Hayes called me and advised me that we had won the Appeal and that my son would be awarded a new trial. I am forever grateful to Mr Hayes and I am so glad that he was referred to us, I could not have asked for a better attorney. I am forever grateful to Mr. Hayes for doing an outstanding job with my son's appeal.

He was accurate with his time line for when things would happen during the appeal. He met his deadlines for when he said things would be ready. The case law he cited for the appeal was dead on point. The appeal was successful and resulted in a unanimous decision in my favor.

Mr. Hayes was very professional from day one. He contacted me through letters every few months. He responded to me when I would ask questions he kept me up to date on every detail of my case and even sent copies of the briefs for me to go over. At the end of the day he gave his all and my case was overturned im thankful.

I obtained Mr Hayes, for a family member. From the beginning he has been open and honest about the case, even breaking down the ins and outs of the appeal. He communicated his needs and allowed for our needs to be heard. My brothers case was something that weighed extremely heavy on my heart and Mr Hayes lifted that weight. I have no regrets hiring him. A lot of lawyers wouldn't even give the time to discuss my brothers case, or couldn't take the time to answer my questions. Not Mr Hayes, he was professional and knowledgeable and he does exactly what he says he will do. His hardwork paid off, WE WON! My brother was facing a lifetime imprisoned and I dont know about you, but I couldn't bare the thought of never being able to see him outside of prison for the rest of my life. This was the best thing I could of done to support my family member on their journey towards freedom. I promise, you will have no regrets letting Mr Hayes put the work in for you or your family.

Mr Hayes is an excellent appellate attorney! My case is quite complicated and he was able to quickly review everything and discern what was most important. His ability to write briefs in a way that conveys a compelling story is nothing less than Awesome! He reaches out frequently, which is very reassuring and tells me he cares....which is not always easy to find this day in age. I would Highly recommend him to anyone needing appellate attorney services.

Mark Hayes had been among a couple potential appeal lawyers recommended to me by another lawyer. The other potential had decades of experience for a fancy price, while Mark Hayes was approaching his first decade of practice for a much more affordable fee. More notable was Mr. Hayes moral and upright character. I believed these qualities would bring us favor and the best outcome, and that hiring a big pricey army wasn't needed when I knew our position would be right and just. In the end, this proved to be true with Mr. Hayes argument winning the court panel unanimously, with all three judges agreeing with his position against a highly ranked corporate legal team. Mr. Hayes is hardworking, and comfortable to work with. He took time to listen to the extra details about my case, and made me feel like he cared. Recommend!

Mark has been instrumental in helping me in a very difficult and unfair divorce. He save me over $200,000. Need i say more. In addition Mark is so personal and caring and his fees are very reasonable. Mark is not your traditional Lawyer (and i have had many that take you money and do nothing for you). Mark is diligent and effective. If you have any legal issue Mark is the person to go to. Thank you Mark for all your help Regards Andre

Mark was timely on all filings. Maintained good communication with me. After reading the briefs, I found that they were very well written. I knew I had hired the right attorney.
