Cynthia Marie Hatchett

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 ever...yone in this law office. Shout out to Emerald, you are amazing. 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 he...r 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.

I didn't know where to find a probate attorney. I prayed to God because I wanted a Christian attorney. I mentioned it to an associate at the bank and she scheduled a consultation with Mrs. Cynthia Hatchett. I have been truly blessed by the Hatchett Law Firm. Everyone I encountered have been profe...ssional, courteous, trustworthy and very caring. On the date of my court hearing we had prayer prior to the appearance before the judge. Her Firm guided me through all the processes of a probate estate and I couldn't have completed it without them. In addition, now I have hired them for my estate planning. God Bless all of the Hatchett Law Firm and their abilities to make a difficult journey durable. This is truly a blessing from the Lord. Thank you so much.

I engaged Cynthia Hatchett and her firm to help me deal with my father’s estate. With her guidance I navigated this daunting process with no issues even though I live in Alaska. The MyCase portal enabled us to share documents easily and was a great communication tool. All my questions were answered q...uickly and thoroughly. I appreciated her support and encouragement. I highly recommend this firm.

Working with Cynthia and her team at Hatchett Law Firm has been an amazing experience for me and my siblings. She is not only an attorney with tons of experience but she also utilizing multiple strategies for best possible outcomes. Our family is grateful for not only expertise but her guidance an...d the bond created during this difficult experience,
