Frank has helped me with my legal problems when banks repossessed my trucks and later came back to take my home and personal property to cover their legal fees. Frank got involved and settled with the bank and they didn't touch a thing. I didn't even pay frank my last invoice and he was ok with it. Only after few years I was able to pay him, and I did. Frank is the best and honest Attorney out there. I have met many bad attorney who would turn me away once I ran out of money to pay for their legal fees. Thank you Frank

Mr. Hathaway is a very good individual and respects people. He's honest and believes in what's right and wrong. I'd trust Mr. Hathaway with my legal and personal business any day.

Mr. Hathaway was very helpful in resolving my divorce issues. Although the other parties attorney was not real willing to be helpful, Mr. Hathaway found ways to move a settlement that was amicable to both my ex and myself. He worked hard to be an intermediary and advocated for me along the way. I would recommend his services if you need someone who is a strong advocate.

Took care of my DUI so I didn't have to spend 18 months in jail, handled my Bankruptcy case and other issues so I didn't have to worry. Frank Hathaway is a true diamond of an attorney that puts trust in the law back in the U.S.A.. . He learned a lot from his father. Recommend him highly. His staff is great and always responsive. If you call Frank, he always gets back to you.

Frank has represented me in several cases, always to the good. His knowledge of the law and rights and compassionate mannerism are his greatest strengths.

Mr. Francis X. Hathaway did an excellent job for me and contacted multiple times in a very professional and effective way the AAA-company on my behalf. I was very pleased with his legal work related to my problem with AAA. My wife Angelica & I we both would highly recommend him to any potential future clients.

Frank Hathaway prepared a Will for me, plus related documents. He was very cooperative in preparing it according to my wishes and instructing me about the options that I had. He has high ethics and was always very professional during all of our interactions and meetings. He continued to check back with me to make sure I was making progress on getting him all the information he needed to prepare my documents. I highly recommend him.

Frank did a great job defending my son when my son made a youthful bad decision. Frank took the time to fully understand the circumstances, and then worked hard on my son's behalf to greatly reduce the impact on my son. Frank did a great job communicating with us all during the legal process. Without Frank's help my son would have faced rather more severe consequences for his actions. At the same time, by explaining what could happen, or could have happened, my son learned some valuable lessons from Frank during the process...
