A dedicated team for a tough case

Stephen Hatchey and his team were dedicated, professional, and supportive throughout a very tough case. Their commitment, attention to detail, and consistent communication made a difficult process much easier to understand each step we navigated together. I truly appreciated their persistence and the... care they showed every step of the way.

Hachey, P.A., we focus on helping clients navigate partition lawsuits in Florida with a practical, results-driven approach—whether that involves protecting ownership rights, pursuing a fair buyout, or positioning the property for sale. Consistent communication and attention to detail are critical in these cases, and we appreciate you recognizing those efforts.

Pleasantly surprised and absolutely satisfied

I had an excellent experience working with the Law Offices of Stephen K. Hachey on my partition lawsuit in Clearwater, Florida, and can confidently say they exceeded my expectations in every way. From the beginning, my partition attorney was honest, straightforward, and focused on getting results—not... dragging things out or overcomplicating the process. What stood out most was their balance of professionalism and integrity. They didn't fit the stereotype people often have about attorneys. Instead, they were fair, transparent, and always kept my best interests front and center. As someone navigating a forced sale of jointly owned property in Pinellas County, I needed a Florida real estate attorney who could cut through the complexity—and that's exactly what I got. They communicated clearly, stayed firm when it mattered, and handled every step of the partition action with confidence and precision. Thanks to their guidance and expertise in Florida partition law, we reached a successful outcome—the house was sold, and I achieved exactly what I was hoping for. That result speaks for itself. If you're dealing with co-owned property disputes in the Clearwater or Tampa Bay area and need a knowledgeable, efficient partition lawyer who is genuinely committed to doing right by their client, I would absolutely recommend the Law Offices of Stephen K. Hachey.

You MUST use this lawyer/firm if you need foreclosure/short sale help

My family needed help in short selling our home. This should have been a stressful and uncertain period for us; however with the help of this firm, everything went beyond smoothly. The whole process was over in no time. They communicated every detail, took calls after work hours, ensured we understan...d all legal details, and treated the case with high personal attention. They told us the good and the bad along the way, and helped us make the most educated and smart decisions. If you can, request to work with Kristi Sereno on the day to day communication, as she is very attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this firm and its services.

RUN

I wouldn’t recommend this firm. They milked the cow so to speak with no results. Communication wasn’t good at one point didn’t even know I was a client. They lied to me multiple times and simply violated my need for counsel. Wouldn’t send them to my neighbors dog.
