About Cornell
Biography
Cornell L. Hatcher is the Founding Attorney of Hatcher Law Firm, A Professional Corporation, and a native of Diamond Bar, California. His commitment to excellence traces back to early academic and athletic achievements: he began his collegiate career at the United States Military Academy at West Point and earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics from Southern University, where he was a Division I three-year starter, team captain, and recipient of All-League and League Academic honors. After earning his Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law in 2000, Cornell was admitted to the California State Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in 2001. He co-founded the Law Offices of Miles & Hatcher with Brian C. Miles and, after more than two decades building that practice, now leads Hatcher Law Firm, APC. With over 24 years of experience in family law, estate planning, and civil litigation, he has handled thousands of matters across the Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles. Known for listening carefully to clients and crafting strategic plans to meet their goals, Cornell also devotes time to coaching youth sports, mentoring aspiring law students, traveling, and enjoying life with his wife and four children.
