While the cost was significant, their exceptional support and expertise made a difficult divorce process much more manageable. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Freddy Navarro: Mr. Michael Hatherley , is the most amazing , dedicated bad ass lawyer. I was fighting a joint custody case to see my kids and he got me exactly that. If you are looking for someone to fight for you he is the man. He went into each court case calm and collective and every single time I felt relieved. No matter what my past looked like he fought for me, and didn’t make me feel like my past decisions would be held against me. If you are looking for a great lawyer that will have your back and fight for you , call and ask for Michael Hatherley. Michael, thank you man you have no idea how appreciative I am for you. God bless you .

5 /5 Michael Chavez: I’ve been in a tough custody battle that began in 2019, and after working with three other local family law attorneys, I can say without hesitation that Michael Hatherley and the team at Hatherley Law Firm were by far the best option I’ve come across. Family law is not only emotionally draining—it’s also a serious financial investment. After a number of hard financial lessons with other attorneys, working with Mike was a turning point. He and his office were professional, responsive, and truly committed to helping me achieve the best outcome for my family. With Mike’s guidance, I was finally able to accomplish the goals I’ve been working toward for years. It’s been a real blessing—not just for me, but for my children as well. I highly recommend Hatherley Law Firm to anyone facing difficult family law issues. They’re the real deal.

5 /5 Antonio Nix: We went to see Mike Hatherley with guardianship questions and he didn’t disappoint! He listened and calmed many of our fears and answered all our questions! I would definitely recommend their office for any family law questions you might have. I would have gave more than 5 stars if possible. I say don’t hesitate and give them a call.

5 /5 Denny Griffin: Im a father that has had custody issues in California for over 12 years. Ive retained multiple attorney/ firms throughout; some good,, some not so good. Hatherley Law outdid all the good ones combined. Jill, the receptionist, is an absolute sweetheart. Her soft tone is always comforting as well as welcoming. When youre dealing with these matters, its nice to have that bit of calm that is Jill. Tina, Mikes paralegal, is a diamond in the rough. You can tell she truly cares about you as a person and your case. Multiple times she would call to ask how my son was doing. It was comforting to know this firm cared about more than the almighty dollar. Then there is Mike, and his sister Michelle work together like no other siblings i have ever encountered. Theyre pevel of team work is unmatched. Seeing them in the courtroom together, how quickly Michelle was able to help Mike was amazing. Im sure at some point there has to be some rivalry, but you as their client will NEVER see it! Professional. Polished. Exemplary. These are only a few of the positive terms I can think of to describe this team. Dale Hatherley, you should be the proudest father in the world. Mike handled my case. Hes not one of those attorneys thats out to bleed you dry. He shoots straight from the hip. He tells you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. But he does so in a kind manner. Mike also listens. He hears you. Hell give you his opinion, but ultimately recognizes youre the one paying the bill. Not too many attorneys out there that are willing to put their ego aside for their clients. Mike is truly one of a kind! I cant speak highly enough about this team. Having spent 20+ years as a business professional in the casino industry, I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a group of people work so well together. Do yourself the favor I wish I had done for myself 12 years ago: SKIP THE REST, GO WITH THE BEST!! HATHERLEY LAW FIRM!
