Look No Further

Micah is the kind of “no bs” attorney you need when it matters. I’ve had a lot of counsel and I know a lot of them are just about doing as little work possible. That’s not Micah. He and his team know how to get the job done.

Review about Mr. Hatley

Once I hired Mr. Hatley for my case, immediately from start to finish he was attentive and very knowledgeable every time the next step happened in my case or on every question I had. He achieved everything I could have asked for from him, and he made me feel like he cared. That is the biggest part fo...r me. The outcome of my case actually mattered to him. I couldn’t appreciate Mr.Hatley enough for what he has done for my life since he helped me with my case. I will be forever grateful. I HIGHLY recommend.

An attorney with integrity

Micah Hatley is an attorney that does what he says he is going to do. He helped me tremendously when I was needing an honest attorney that new the law. From the first day I met with him, he followed leads and went out and did the work that was necessary to win my case. I would highly recommend him to... anyone who needs an attorney.

Highly Recommended

Communication is key, and I feel that Mr. Hatley firmly believes that as well. While representing me in a criminal defense case, I never had to worry about "our" next course of action in the courts. From the start, Mr. Hatley was honest and upfront with his opinions and legal advice when responding t...o my numerous questions. He would tell me the worst case scenario, and the best case scenario, then realistically which end of the spectrum I should be leaning closer to regarding my case. When it was all said and done, Mr. Hatley was able to get me deferred adjudication and bare minimum repercussions. I was/am very pleased with the outcome of my case!

Outstanding Counsel

Great criminal defense attorney. His research is thorough, his pretrial motions are well focused on the most important issues and he is very accessible. Professional manner is outstanding and legal counsel is even better. And - his legal fees are reasonable. I highly recommend him without any rese...rvations. On a personal and professional level, he is great!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
