Review Tara Hatcher

Great law firm to work with

Posted by KristinaTue Jun 25 2019

Unfortunately for me, I've had to hire Ms. Hatcher multiple times since my separation and divorce. I believe Ms. Hatcher has a great approach when helping her clients. She's honest and straight forward. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear or promise you that she can get you something when she knows she can't. She's not like a lot of attorneys out there that will promise the world, just to make a buck. I think she's very fair as far as the retainer fee as well. Her legal assistant is great too. They both respond back to me in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this practice.

Tara is very competent and she provided excellence guidance throughout the whole process. She was also more interested in resolving the case as quickly as possible instead of accumulating billable hours.

I endorse this lawyer. When I recommend a family lawyer in the Richmond area, I always refer to Ms. Hatcher. She is highly qualified and knowledgeable. If I needed a custody/divorce/family attorney, I would call her myself.
