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.

A+++ Intelligent, competent, professional, kind, compassionate

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.

EXTREMELY COMPETENT

Michael Hatherley, is without a doubt a rarity in his field. I am not a person that easily hands out recommendations, in fact, I'm hard to impress and maybe even harder to work with. When I first met Michael, I was reluctant. Maybe, because of his age (at the time he was a lawyer just about 5 year...s into the business). I challenged everything about him, his knowledge, experience, life-experience...tolerance. I wanted the "best" and expected the "best", afterall I was placing my life and my children's life in his hands. It was the start of a very tumultous & drawn out child custody battle that many people, especially my family, felt I was losing. And I did, but not in the end. It takes a very skilled and dedicated Attorney to "turn things around". Michael is the only Attorney I've come across in the past 3 yrs that can truly do that. He is capable; Resilient; Firm to the truth. I fully attest to the abilities of MHH as an Attorney-intuitive, quick-witted & EXTREMELY COMPETENT.
