Emilee K. Lawson Hatch

Emilee Lawson-Hatch created a trust and end-of-life documents for me, and her service exceeded all expectations. Emilee consistently demonstrates a level of compassion that is rare to find in the legal profession. When we started planning, she took the time to understand my unique circumstances, pati...ently listening to my concerns and priorities. Her empathy shone through as she guided me through the intricacies of estate planning, making what could have been a daunting process feel surprisingly manageable. What truly sets Emilee apart is her intelligence and thoroughness. It was evident that she possesses a deep understanding of estate law and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every aspect of my trust and end-of-life documents was meticulously crafted, leaving no stone unturned. Her attention to detail gave me the confidence that my wishes would be carried out precisely as intended. Throughout our interactions, Emilee exhibited not only a keen legal mind but also a genuine desire to serve her clients' best interests. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was fully empowered to make informed decisions about my estate. Her dedication to her craft and her clients is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Emilee Lawson-Hatch to anyone in need of estate planning services. She is an exceptional lawyer who truly cares about her clients' well-being.

Emilee Lawson Hatch has been my preferred attorney for many years. She has revamped and updated wills, trusts and estate documents for me and has been a wealth of information. She’s prompt in responding to calls, answers all my questions and if she feels it’s appropriate she may refer me an associ...ate. Always feel that she gives 100% to the situation at hand. Cannot use enough superlatives. I believe she’s alway working to protect my interest and my family’s.

Working with Emilee is a pleasure. She is a true professional and gave me stellar advice regarding planning for my will and estate. I had a number of needs to address, but she was well prepared to address them. She put me at ease and made the process very straight forward to understand. She was i...nterested in my family members and how she could help not only me with planning my estate, but help them as well. Her process is thorough and detailed. I would highly recommend her or her colleagues at BH to obtain any legal advice someone may need. If you need estate and trust planning, there is no better partner to you than Emilee. Do not hesitate to contact her.

I hired Emily because she stood out on the service. Two trustees denied me any and all benefit of the trust. I was billed over $1,700 for a one-hour conversation with the current trustee. I received copies of 15 bank statements. My purpose hiring herwas to have the trust dissolved. She spent more tim...e trying sell auditing services than she did trying to have the trust dissolved. At 63 in poor health with cancer. I requested her to have fund managers move the money out of high risk profile considering covid-19 presented unprecedented issues in the market. She was quick to email at $360 an hour and accomplished little to nothing.

When our Estate Lawyer retired, we solicited recommendations and researched Estate/Trust lawyers in the Syracuse area. Emiliee K. Lawson Hatch’s profile stood out among her peers, and upon talking to and eventually meeting her, we found Emilee personable, professional and competent in Estate Law. Sh...e was a good listener and an organized detail person. She welcomed questions and explained complex legal issues, in layman’s terms. When it became apparent that our original trusts needed major revision, we were able to work back and forth by email and occasional phone conversations to complete the process. As our estate planning progressed, Emilee demonstrated an excellent grasp of the overall goals we were trying to achieve in our multi-generational estate, as well as understanding the complex family dynamics and specific needs of individuals. Emilee’s “no nonsense professionalism” inspired confidence that she would stand firm should the situation require it. She is also gifted in interacting with individuals of limited capacity... making them feel comfortable, really listening, and explaining “legalese” in a non-intimidating way. It was a pleasure to work with Emilee and we feel confident that she will continue to be helpful to our family through current and end of life issues.
