Great to work with! Helped us to I-485 approval!

Patrick Hatch was very helpful in guiding us through our I-485 AOS interview. He helped prep us for the interview, review our materials and went with us to the interview on relatively short notice. He helped us feel comfortable with the process at the Durham office and his experience made us feel com...fortable throughout the process. Most importantly the process concluded with a quickly approved petition.

Mr Patrick is outstanding lawyer I ever know in America for my 22 years in America. What ever he told me about my was true also

My attorney filed my waiver i-601 before an interview but mr Patrick told me to tell my to send my to first before we continue the waiver and we did exactly what he told me and now we get our Visa. Thank to mr Patrick.

Excellent Lawyer!

After my prior immigration lawyer almost failed my case, I requested Mr. Hatch to take on the case. He resolved all issues with professionalism and a deep knowledge of immigration law. During the last several years, I have been working with him and his team. They were always responsive , trustworthy,... attentive to my individual needs and personally great people!

Great Immigration Attorney!!

The biggest challenge in finding a good attorney revolves around finding an honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable professional who cares about you. Patrick is exactly that. My case wasn't the ordinary immigration case, but he surely made it happen. It wasn't easy, but he worked diligently to achieve ...the best results and kept me informed every step of the way. His honesty and good ethics are certainly remarkable. He will give you an honest advise and he will work to your best interest. Hatch Law Office has surely provided me with an A+ experience and result. Anything regarding immigration can be very lengthy in time and extremely bureaucratic, but Patrick puts his best work to make it happen...and he will answer to your e-mails and return your phone calls! I highly recommend Hatch Law Office for any immigration need you may have; I know Patrick will take good care of you and provide you with the best alternative for you case, just as he did for me.

  • 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.
