The Hatchett Law Firm

A year later after the passing of my precious mother I have had time to reflect on the most important things that matters when losing a loved one. Peace of mind and guidance is not only important but required when going through a life changing event or loss. After a few phone calls to other attorneys’ offices and not truly sold on their services. Hatchett Law firm was the first law office to express how they would help me and my family get peace of mind and guidance to get through our suffering. Even though it was my first visit to their office, I left feeling like I selected the right law firm. I work for a law firm, but the guidance, empathy and understanding your office shared with me has made me change my thinking on how I approach our business even though we deal with a different type of client. So, I could not pass up another opportunity to encourage anyone needing or looking for an affordable probate, guardianship, mediation and estate planning services for that special someone to call Cynthia Hatchett law office. Her ability to provide outstanding services is one-of-one during times of a hurting loss, unbelievable stress and grief that overwhelms most people. Call her……………. George “Tony” King

Hatchett Law Firm was fine… until I questioned them about possibly overcharging me for email exchanges that I believe were due to disorganization of their company. They literally charged me *hundreds of dollars* - AFTER probate court was over (when I had already paid a big retainer PLUS some) for email exchanges that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Everything was fine enough and I had already overlooked what I felt were other overcharges, until they emailed me after probate to ask if I wanted original copies of my documents. When I said yes, they replied that I actually already had original copies - then charged me for the whole interaction. Why should I pay you for emails your law firm sent that never needed to be sent in the first place?? If I already have original copies, you should know, and then not ask me if I want my original copies. And then it is *ludacris* to charge me for the email exchange your firm started to figure this out! How this started: Less than a week ago, I reviewed my invoice and then questioned the receptionist about charges on my bill. Within TWO DAYS of me calling to ask them about this, and letting them know I would like to talk to someone about it, and then not hearing a response from them re: my overcharge concerns - they simply texted me and claimed that they were going to "notify the court of my decision” not to pay them! When it has been single digit days from when I was even in probate court with them, to then being given an additional bill (after I was told that the last additional $1k I paid them, in addition to my first retainer, would surely be enough to carry me through to the end of my case - only to get another bill for $2k), and then this interaction! This firm immediately flipped on me, and I am beyond disturbed by their unprofessional behavior. I have dealt with numerous attorneys in my life, and NEVER have I ever had a firm behave this unprofessionally. Ever. And never have I ever had a firm attack me for taking more than a few days to pay a $2k bill from the time I got the invoice, with zero evidence I was refusing to pay?? Maybe if you give people enough time to pay, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT! I initially wrote a good review one week ago - because as soon as I left their office after notarizing probate court documents, they immediately asked if I would write a review and handed me a paper with a QR code on it. Now I can see that if I had waited until I got home to write a review (I had to fly from Oregon to Texas, and as soon as I got home I had to manage my many affairs and responsibilities, as I am a super single mom with two kids and two dogs), I probably would have seen their organizations true colors and written a more accurate review. Like this one.

Thank you, Hatchett Law Firm! This firm is professional, compassionate, thorough, agile and uses technology that keeps my case organized and all steps transparent. My interaction with each team member has shown that my case is a top priority. I am respected and well informed about every step that is taken. I am very pleased as we zoom through this probate process with precision and vigor. Thank you!

AMAZING SERVICE AND AMAZING TEAM!!!!!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Cynthia, Amanda, and the entire Hatchett Law Firm team. They are compassionate, ethical, knowledgable, and professional. Cynthia and Amanda have done a tremendous job in guiding me through the Dependent Administration of my cousin's estate. It has been a very complicated case with lots of moving parts but they did not bat an eye. They've done what needed to be done. The case also evolved into a will contest with the estate of My cousin's brother, who died a month prior to her. With Cynthia's guidance, we were able to reach a satisfactory settlement with his estate. Amanda has always been a pleasure to work with, highly efficient and competent as well. If you ever need a probate attorney in Texas, do not hesitate to contact the Hatchett Law Firm.

The Hatchett Law Firm was able to guide me through the probate process and answered all my questions at every point. I was concerned about probate and court because I’ve never had to do anything in court before, but it was easy and painless. Thanks Hatchett!

A huge thank you to the amazing team at The Hatchett Law Firm! From start to finish, they were outstanding professionals highly skilled, attentive to every detail, and always on top of things.
