My Attorney, Michael Beaty did a very good job for my wife Patricia. He was very kind hearted and always listened carefully. He's a very nice man and he always made me feel comfortable and so much better when I was nervous and scared and made sure that I understood everything that was being said by the other Attorney's involved in my case. I will call him if I'm ever injured in another accident and I would not hesitate to refer others to his law firm that involves any type of accident.
He's a 10+ in my book and I thank him and his staff for his hard work and caring.

Very professional, personable, and able to explain complex legal issues for people with out a law degree. They really took the stress out of dealing with my personal injury (car accident). I cant say enough, I would use them again and reccomend them as the first place to call if you need legal help.

I was in a car accident in March of 2017. I contacted Michael to help about 6 months after. And have worked with him to settle my case until about a month ago. His staff and himself answered every question I had, explained things to me with ease (even sometimes twice) and were overall very respectful and professional! I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Beaty and his staff to anyone who has been in a car accident and needs help. I couldn’t have imagined the process without them. Thank you.

I was the guardian for my father's estate but I lived in another state than he did. So it required monitoring through the courts in court appearances which I couldn't be at many times through out the years, through this I've had a couple of different attorneys handling my dad's case and one of them Beaty Hatch, Excellent attorneys keeping you informed through emails and phone calls and up-to-date with all the important information you need to know about your case, court dates and mailings.
I always felt confident and informed with this company and treated respectfully when

I asked Jeffrey Hatch to represent me in court regarding the domestic matter and he took my case on a very short notice. I would strongly recommend this firm again since him and the office were very pleasant, attentive and professional. I was very pleased with Jeffrey Hatch services in court while he was very relaxed, easy to understand and firm with his suggestions. I would definitely come back to him in the future if needed.

This attorney was horrible. I hired Michael Beatty to help settle an insurance claim as I had been in an accident, and the insurance company was not offering me a fair settlement. This should have been an open and shut case but, it wasn't. Not only did I get a LOWER figure than what the insurance company had offered me without representation, I get the sense that he didn't put much effort into my case. As I said before, this should have been a simple case to settle. The client attorney relationship is very important. Needless to say, I did not trust him/ his work ethic whatsoever. It was so bad

We engaged the services of Crystal Lewis for help in a delicate legal matter, and her handling of our case was both well-informed and compassionate. She gave us sound advice, explained everything clearly, and shepherded us through each step in a manner that was simultaneously kind and no-nonsense (and you do really want your lawyer to have a no-nonsense side--that's how you win cases!).
While I hope that none of our acquaintances should need a lawyer for the same reason we did, I would not hesitate to put Crystal's name forward, or to recommend Marsh, Higgins, Beaty & Hatch.

I contacted Marsh, Higgins, Beaty & Hatch, P.C. to deal with a family law case and was very fortunate to talk to Mr. Jeffrey J. Hatch. From the beginning of our conversation, Mr. Hatch explained in details about the case step by step. He went the extra mile to provide more information about the pros and cons. He was compassionate about my situation and he helped me go through this. His entire office were polite and helpful every time when I call his office. Thank you so much.
I highly recommend Mr. Hatch for your future legal matters.
