Hilltop Law Firm was founded by Attorney/Owner, Cy T. Hainey.
Mr. Hainey has nearly a decade's worth of experience in bankruptcy, consumer, debt relief, and estate planning law. This experience, coupled with his background in finance and banking, makes him a powerful advocate for his clients.
Mr. Hainey grew up in rural Kansas with a strong sense of ethics, integrity, and friendliness that he incorporates into his law firm practice. He treats each client as if they are family, providing them with the legal advice they need to make the best decisions. His years of studying for both his undergraduate and master's degrees in Colorado, Montana, France, Spain, and Mexico all positioned Mr. Hainey for the next step in his career, studying law.
After earning his degree and receiving his license to practice law, he gained a wealth of experience in the areas of family law, bankruptcy, personal injury, debt relief, estate planning, and general civil litigation. His previous work in banking, his experience in the legal field, and his entrepreneurial spirit helped him take the next step of opening his own law firm in 2018. Mr. Hainey's true calling is providing consultations and supporting clients in the bankruptcy, debt relief, and estate planning sectors. Mr. Hainey speaks English and Spanish.
Family first, attorney second, but always an advocate and adventurer, Mr. Hainey and his wife are a powerful team when it comes to supporting their clients. Listening to their clients' needs and providing them tailored solutions is a source of pride for both.
