The Best
Atty Hackett is the best lawyer in the Mid-South. She is knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. Atty Hackett made sure I was well-informed and understood the process by communicating often. Her clients are her priority!
"Sonya is my go to lawyer in Memphis for all family law matters. She's smart and does a great job representing her clients."
"Psonya is a wonderful lawyer. She has the legal expertise to effectively advocate for her clients in difficult situations, and she has the wisdom to guide her clients toward fair settlements outside of litigation whenever possible. She is an outstanding advocate for both children and parents. She also identified a need in our community for a better way to provide supervised parenting time and founded a non profit organization to provide safe supervision for children and parents that can take place in fun settings like parks, the zoo, or other locations where children can have a much more positive experience. I offer my highest endorsement of Psonya."
