Litigation

Michael Hatherley worked well in helping me to understand the details and complications of my case while under the constrictions of a vexatious litigation. He was an excellent representative who spent time to acknowledge any problems and give me honest information before going to court. I recommend h...is voice for anyone who needs a family attorney.

INTELLIGENT, CHARMING, AMAZINGLY COMPETENT

I was hoping to get Michael's dad, Dale Hatherley who has a great reputation in family law. Dale was not available and Michael was a new attorney. I was skeptical. Michael did an amazing job for me. Things turned out better than I could have hoped for. He was on task in every way, fantastic in court ...and I felt his charges were reasonable for the work he did. I highly recommend him.

Best Family Law Attorney In Town

Mr. Hatherley quickly grasped the nuances of my complex child custody case and was an invaluable ally during the hearing. His clear and direct courtroom presence was key in communicating the important arguments to the judge who heard the case. His approach is realistic, no nonsense and no drama. Mike... obtained the results I had targeted prior to the case despite an extremely tough courtroom environment. I'm certain he's the best family law specialist available to Tulare and Kings County residents.

Articulate, Knowledgeable, Confident

What I liked most about Mike was his knowledge and confidence in providing the legal remedy for each situation. I appreciated his attention to detail, his skill in articulating my side of the story, and the overall professionalism of his office. They helped me get my kids out of a pernicious situat...ion, and really bolstered my confidence to a level that in the last 3 years I have not needed their services in going to court regarding child custody/support matters.

The Joe Montana of Attorneys

From the initial consultation to the conclusion of the case, Mr. Hatherley was an incredibly excellent lawyer. We had what I thought was an impossible case to win, but he knew exactly what to do and fought hard for us and was able to turn the case around putting us in a much more favorable position. ...I never thought in a million years that we would get such incredible results. Our case was a long one, in and out of court we seen many other cases and I am telling you this now... you will not find a better family law attorney!
