Michael Hammond Hatherley

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.

I was referred from a law enforcement friend who said he was the best in Tulare County. Michael pulled me out of a very bad situation that I had created with a mutual attorney with my ex-wife. Michael was very responsive and is very competent in the courtroom. I can't thank him enough for everythin...g he has done for me and my future. His knowledge of the law and tactics are second to none. I highly recommend him for any of your divorce needs. Tina his paralegal is also outstanding!!!

Michael Hatherley was referred to me by a highly reputable attorney who herself wasn't able to take my case because she didn't work in my county. She told me that if she needed someone to represent and protect her own children, her first choice would be Mr. Hatherley. He has done an outstanding job, ...and considers first what is in the best interest of my children. I am very pleased with his exceptional performance, support, professionalism and determination. In the courtroom, he is confident, well-spoken and wields his intelligence and diplomacy as he works to protect me and my children. I appreciate how considerate he is when talking with me about my case. Throughout my case, he has always been patient in explaining the status, details and developments, and his input has been invaluable. It is difficult to find an attorney who is both competent and compassionate, but Michael Hatherley is without question both of these. His office staff also is caring and does an excellent job. They create a family atmosphere of comfort and support. I consider myself fortunate to have been connected with such an exceptional law firm as Hatherley Law and without hesitation give them the highest recommendation.

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.

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!
