Highly recommend - Outstanding lawyer and paralegal: Peter Hatfield and Jennifer McCartney

My close friend/sister recommend that I call Peter Hatfield after my automobile accident that caused me serious physical injuries and total loss of my vehicle. I called Peter and spoke to his paralegal, Jennifer McCartney. She was so patient with me and calmed my nerves throughout the entire process.... She walked me through the process, gave me valuable advice and answered all of my questions. Jennifer periodically called me just to see how I was doing. That truly meant the world to me!! I just found out that she just started with the firm while attending school and I was her first client. I thought she worked with the firm for years because she's so knowledgeable and professional. I felt so comfortable with Peter and Jennifer. I'm so grateful to have them represent me!!! Peter and Jennifer were honest and 100% transparent throughout the entire process. Peter was able to settle my case without going through the long, painful process of a trial. If you want a professional, honest, knowledgeable team, please contact Peter and Jennifer. They will fight to get you the justice you deserve! $$ #Grateful client!!

Professional, Responsive & Positive Energy

Peter & Alyce (paralegal) provided professional guidance through my family’s dealing with an automobile accident. They were aggressive as our representative but yet patient through the cumbersome discovery & settlement process. Professional, positive drive, and responsive to our uncertainties were ...key attributes required throughout the successful settlement.

Professional, wise advise, good outcome

Mr. Hatfield and his Paralegal Alyce were reassuring and responsive as I would hope for professionals. Mr. Hatfield represented my disabled daughter who was in an accident involving a commercial truck. He walked us through the process, provided excellent recommendations and was able to settle our c...ase without having to go through the long process of a trial. We could not be more pleased. If the need arises I will certainly hire Peter Hatfield again.

Highly Recomend

I have the pleasure of meeting Attorney Hatfield and his Assistant Paralegal Mr Dylan who walk me line by line of my case. What a professionals. From my first meeting with them. I brought my case from a lousy law firm and in less than 3 months my case was resolved with these two professional to my ow...n satisfaction. I truly appreciate them. I highly recommend Peter Hatfield, Dylan team and the law firm with 5 stars.

Awesome Attorney!

I was in a car accident and the person that hit my car was giving me the run around. I looked Peter up on the internet and read the good reviews so I thought I would give him a try. This was my first decision about hiring an attorney and he was the best! Not only was Peter helpful but his paralega...l, Jessica, was very thorough in providing detailed information. Both kept me informed about what was happening with my case. All phone calls and emails were responded to in a timely manner. Also, any questions or concerns were addressed immediately. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and would definitely refer him to anyone who needs an attorney. Thank you Peter and Jessica for all of your hard work.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
