HAT Law
Exceeding expectations.
Being a top law firm does not happen by accident. It starts by having common beliefs and shared values – not just with one another but with the clients we serve. And bringing integrated services and collaborative problem-solving to each case, all while maintaining a fundamental commitment to our communities.
Those are the ideals on which HAT Law was founded. It is how we strive to be the best attorneys we can be. And how we will continue our commitment to exceeding the expectations of those who seek our help.
Our attorneys have years of experience across a wide range of practice areas. And they do more than just offer legal counsel. They are skilled litigators who are not afraid to go to court. HAT’s unique and extensive courtroom experience helps provide strong, practical analysis of real, sometimes unseen, litigation risks, leading to prompt and accurate assessments of a client’s best interest.
