Cynthia Marie Hatchett

We hired Cynthia to gain guardianship of my 84 yr old mother, who had been diagnosed with dementia and exhibited increasingly troubling symptoms. Turned out Mom was being exploited by her boyfriend and another woman, who were working to gain control over her finances and did not want her taken from their control and placed into memory care. Cynthia's advice on a legal level was excellent, but more importantly she provided invaluable guidance to help us through the emotional turmoil that goes along with dementia and exploitation.

Mr.Michael Hatchett,a very knowledgeable and professional attorney. My fears concerning my particular case just vanished during our consultation. This is an attorney who is kind as well as extremely easy to communicate with. I would not hesitate to recommend attorney Hatchett. This is who you want to entrust with your probate and any other issues.

There's so much that goes into Probate that the average person isn't aware of. Working with The Hatchett Law Firm was the best decision I made to assist with handling my late husband's estate, as well as planning my own. From the very start, I felt like a family member vs a client. Mrs. Cynthia and her team held my hand through the whole process. And in my moments of uncertainty, prayed with me for God’s guidance and continued protection over my family. The level of professionalism and care extended to my family during this process will forever be appreciated. I highly recommend The Hatchett Law Firm.

After having dealt with another attorney who had no idea what he was doing. Ms. Cynthia came to the rescue. She is very knowledgable and professional at all times. Communication was great with attorney and everyone in her office. Our probate case is finally complete, and I am so thankful for everyone in this law office. Shout out to Emerald, you are amazing. God Bless!!!!

The Hatchet Law Firm handled my entire probate case from start to finish. I would HIGHLY recommend the Hatchet Law Firm to anyone in need of a Probate, Estate, and Gardianship Attorney. Mrs. Hatchet and her entire Law Firm were extremely professional, knowledgeable and very prompt in responding to my concerns. They made this process very tolerable for me and my family. It has been a pleasure working with this Law Firm. They made me feel like I was a part of their family! Honestly, I am greatfull that this process is ending but a little sad to end the relationship established with the Hatchet Law Firm.

Cynthia Hachett was a true professional. She made me feel calm and had such a beautiful personality about her.

We were searching for a lawyer to assist us in applying for guardianship of our disabled brother and came across Hatchett Law Firm. We got a few recommendations from friends and family of other law firms but they seemed difficult to get in touch with or some lacked the empathy and genuine care that was shown to us by our Attorney Cynthia when we first spoke about my case. The Hatchett legal team guided us every step of the way. They informed us quite frequently with updates. They have a close rapport with the court system and was able to represent us fully with absolutely no issues. We received the guardianship of our brother which gave our family a huge relief. Knowing how the Hatchett Law Firm dealt with my family, I hope to use them in the future and would highly recommend to others as they are experienced in several areas.

The "Best of the best"! I read the reviews, paid my fees and it took awhile, but now,..case closed. After speaking to Attorney Cynthia Hatchett, I felt so at ease and I knew she was the right attorney I needed to handle this probate estate case. I had 6 siblings battling over my Dad's estate. The Hatchett Law Firm took the wheel, I didn't have to worry about potholes or ditches and now it's over and all siblings are on about their merry business. Thank you so much Attorney Cynthia Hatchett Maxine Nichols

Cynthia and her team are the best. The knowledge, understanding, and professionalism everyone provided to me with my brothers probate was above and beyond. I truly appreciate your guidance and support during the process.

The Avvo website provided an excellent source for me to remotely work on my brother's estate. 1200 miles between locations necessitated this. The whole team was excellent and compassionate in handling this sensitive estate. Cynthia's smiling ad convinced me to choose this law firm. She did not disappoint. She cared about every aspect of this procedure. Thank you for your diligent service.

I really appreciate Ms. Hachett’s patience with me. She answered all of my questions. She followed up with me as agreed upon. It took me a week to get the nerve and myself together to follow through with obtaining her as a lawyer. I also appreciate her professionalism and direct approach. She let me know what her expectations are of me as a client as well as what I can expect from her and her office. I hope and pray that my entire experience is as my first impression of her.

Hatchett Law Firm helped us file a small estate affidavit after our adult son died. Everything was take care of very quickly and efficiently. We appreciated the professionalism of everyone on staff, as well as their friendly service. I would definitely recommend their services to my friends and family.

I worked, mainly, with Cynthia and Amanda. They are spectacular. They made my part as easy as possible. I would recommend the Hatchett law firm to everyone. God bless!!

I contacted the Hatchett Law Firm after searching reviews on AVVO for the BEST probate attorney in the Houston area. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My cousin passed away without a will over 3 years ago. Her parents predeceased her, as did her only sibling (one month prior to her death). She had no children, nor did her sibling. Attorney Hatchett guided me every step of the way as a Dependent Administrator for the estate, which is much more involved than if the deceased left a will. She and her case manager, Amanda, have had to generate a great deal of paperwork (138 filings just to the court so far) as the court had to approve everything I did. Those things included traveling to Texas with my cousins to clean out the house and storage unit, (she was a hoarder), selling the house and car, notifying all possible heirs (multiple notifications). She also found a bonding agency and a real estate agent for me. She did everything, including talking me off a ledge several times, with calmness and a can do attitude. If we ventured into a roadblock, she found a way around it. I knew all the relatives on my Aunt's side of the family, but there were unknown heirs from my cousin's father's side of the family, as she had no contact with them after her father's death in 1959. My husband dabbles in Ancestry, but it still took us a year to locate all the heirs on that side of the family and Cynthia was finally able to set up the heirship hearing with my husband as a witness a year and a half after my cousin's passing. My husband, however, got COVID and was put in a medically induced coma two weeks before the hearing. I found a genealogist and Attorney Hatchett and Amanda worked with her so she could be a witness and provide the information the court needed . As I mentioned earlier, my cousin's brother passed away a month before she did. Her case also evolved into a will contest with his estate, Several things caused Cynthia and I to be suspicious of his supposed will and supposed codicil (such as copies rather than originals were filed), but it was a big step for me to pursue a case against his estate. I had never been involved with litigation prior to this.. Again, Cynthia guided me through the whole process with integrity. I know the executor of his estate thought were were trying to just grab the money, but there were many factors that raised our skepticism. Cynthia deals mainly with estates and probate. She knows the Texas statutes backwards and forward; she knew all the statues were not followed so we were able about to reach a satisfactory settlement through an all day mediation session. But Cynthia was there with me the whole way. The windfall we received from my cousins' estate has made such a difference in the lives of several of their heirs and I believe none of this would have been possible without the Hatchett Law Firm. We will soon close out his case, and I hope to close her case within the next six months. I will be happy this chapter in my life will be over, but I will miss Cynthia and Amanda immensely. We have laughed together, prayed together, strategized together. I feel I have made lifelong friends. Although I do not expect to need the Hatchett Law Firm's services again, as I live in Pennsylvania, I have recommended them to a couple of other people in Texas.

Finding the Hatchett Law Firm was a stroke of divine intervention. I contacted two other law firms to inquire about probating my late husband’s will. Both phone consultations left me dissatisfied. I had not heard of the Hatchett Law Firm, but when their contact information displayed on my internet browser screen, I reviewed their website and decided to call. My initial contact was with Amanda who was patient, compassionate and knowledgeable. She answered my questions thoroughly and then explained the engagement process. After conversing with Amanda, I felt comfortable retaining this firm. That positive impression carried through each interaction with the staff. Everyone knew his/her role and performed it exceedingly well. Bethany and the support team kept me abreast of the status of my case and Attorney Hatchett was available to answer my legal questions in a timely manner. I especially liked the convenience of using the MyCase portal to remotely share documents and messages. Losing a spouse is a traumatic experience and Attorney Hatchett and her team handled me with care. They managed my case in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner. In fact, the entire probate process took less time (and less stress, thanks to them) than I imagined. I highly recommend the Hatchett Law Firm and plan to contact them again when I am ready to update my estate plan.
