Strong and Reliable Representation

Mr. Hatch and his legal assistant are exceptionally professional, consistent, and no‑nonsense while still being polite, patient, and timely. They handled my ex‑husband with ease, which was no small task. The legal assistant’s attention to detail and deep knowledge of so many community resources ma...de a huge difference. His willingness to reach out, gather information, and anticipate what I might need added tremendous value to my case. Combined with Mr. Hatch’s strong representation and clear interpretation of the law, I always felt supported and well‑informed. Honestly, I hope I never need their services again—but if I had to go through this process all over, I would choose this law firm without hesitation.

Very Knowledgeable and Professional, Knows his stuff!

Very Knowledgeable and Professional, Knows his stuff! I had been trying to deal with my x and his lawyer for years. Without a lawyer of my own, I was bullied, lied to, and just pushed around. I didn't think I could afford a really good attorney. I was wrong! Jeff was AMAZING!! Not only was he afford...able AND knowledgeable, but he was able to explain things in way that I could understand. The opposing counsel tried to push Jeff around and get things that weren't in any court order. Jeff stood his ground and was really in my corner! It was such a relief to hand over everything my x and his lawyer were trying to get away with into such capable hands! This might sound crazy, but my x and I have been divorced for over 14 years. My x is still trying to create conflict in my life. Because of Jeff, I have been able to breathe easy and refer my x to my lawyer anytime he tries to get out of line! Jeff is totally in my corner and willing to fight for me and what is right. If the need EVER arises again, Jeff will be my first call! Thanks, Jeff! You are beyond AMAZING!!
