Will Hatchett's primary purpose is helping people who have been harmed by no fault of their own. His practice focuses on standing up for individuals wronged by large corporations, advocating to secure the fair and just resolutions his clients deserve.

A Fort Worth native, Will earned his undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University and his law degree from South Texas College of Law, where he excelled in the nationally renowned trial advocacy program under Dean T.
