Michael Hammond Hatherley

When I reached out for a lawyer, it was not all sunshine and roses in my life. Michael and his paralegal Tina were so welcoming and truly amazing. Tina held my hand through every step of the divorce—mourning, crying, anger, and eventually happiness. Michael protected me and stood up for me like I was... part of his family. This is the team you want on your side when your back is against the wall. Even years later, I still reach out just to say hi. This team doesn’t just work for you—they become your team.

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.

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.
