Christopher Dowd Hatch

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.
