When I initially met Mr. LaHatte and his staff, they were welcoming and professional. My husband and I hired Mr. LaHatte to resolve an issue we had with a house fire. He resolved the case with positive results and I would highly recommend the LaHatte Law Firm!!!

Joey F LaHatte III's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Mr. LaHatte. We have co-counseled on cases for a number of years and watched our respective firms grow. His client-first way of thinking is what makes his clients like him. His knowledge of insurance law is what gets good results. It is getting harder and harder to find lawyers that have both."
"Joey is a caring attorney who fights for his clients with passion and zeal. I would trust Joey with my own clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Joey is a great guy and lawyer."
"I have known Joey LaHatte for years and if I had question about a first-party insurance dispute, he would be one of the first people I called."
