Dale was more than just my counsel...he became a friend through his professionalism and compassion. I had lost hope until a friend recommended him...best decision of my life. If your rights as a father are in jeopardy, this is the gentleman for the job...superior representation! I have my sons with me and I have my self respect...thank you Dale
I used this attorney for nearly 3 years. He knows the law but he uses it to HIS advantage only. The only option that he ever presents to you is going to court/litigation. He never presents you with the option of negotiating the case or mediating the case. Two and a half years into my case, I started to tell him, "hey, we need to settle this case...it's been going on for a long time". His response to me was to call me "hasty" and "impatient". If you want a divorce that will be long, and if you want to fight and litigate over every singe issue, and if you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, then Dale Hatherley will be the correct attorney for you. If you object to anything that he does, he will come up with the line that he has been doing this for 40 years. In other words, he will do what he wants to do. You will have no say as to what takes place. Sounds unbelievable, but that is how it will be. So when you go sit in his office for the first time, and you look at those nature pictures ("photography by Dale Hatherle") on the wall, make yourself comfortable, because two and a half years later, you will still be sitting in that same spot with your case barely having moved an inch.
