I Hired attorney Christopher Hatch on 5/27/22 to represent my stepfather on a criminal defense charge, that same day I paid him $2000 which I did not get a receipt for, later on June 10th he came to my residence to pick up an additional $3000 for a total of $5000 paid until this day. I’m writing t...his on June 19th and to this day not a single thing has been done on the case, he has not registered in the court as my stepfather attorney which we agreed was going to be done as soon as he got paid the first $5000 out of the $10.000 agreement we had, also stop communicating with me since then. The last time he communicated with me was on June 10th the day he got the money, I have called him on many occasions and sent him text messages also. He came to my house that day with a blonde which i believe is his paralegal who drive a black BMW she had to be aware of his intentions but didn't say anything. Last news I had was that Christopher Hatch was that he has drug abuse problems and was set to go to rehab, probably wasn't license when he took my money since he has many open complaints with the bar association. I filed one my self and am waiting to see what course of legal action will be brought against him. I don't doubt he was a good attorney at a certain point but right now he is scamming people. I write this with the soul intention of anyone considering to hire him to beware and do your homework. He is a professional liar.

My son was arrested for 2nd degree murder in 2018, if convicted it carries a charge of mandatory life. Fortunately I ended up in Chris’s office. The DA’s plea bargain was 30 years. My son turned it down and decided to fight because it was self defense. There were mitigating circumstances that ma...de going to jury trial very risky but he knew he had to fight and Chris was right there fighting for him. Chris’s knowledge of the law is phenomenal and he dominates the courtroom with his presence. He genuinely cared for my son and it was evident in everything he did. The jury came back with a verdict of Negligent homicide, 5 years, time served.We all cried! That day Chris not only gave my son back to me he also gave him his second chance at life. I honestly believe had I hired a different attorney the outcome would have been different. We are so grateful and nothing we could ever do for him would be enough. If you find yourself needing a Criminal Defense Attorney please consult Chris, I believe if you choose him you will never regret your decision, always knowing he is doing everything he can for you. Thank you again Chris, I think you know what you mean to all of us.❤️

Mr Hatch met with me immediately. He completely explained my rights and liabilities, and he was very realistic in the assessment of my problems. In every step of the way, he kept me informed and was always able and eager to consult with me in person or over the telephone (with some other points addre...ssed by text messages). He was with me before, during, and after the court appearances. At the end, his diligence and knowledge saved the day for me. Most highly recommend Mr. Hatch.
