Mr. Hatcher has been practicing as a personal injury defense trial attorney for over 25 years, with 57 first chair trials to verdict. He has extensive experience litigating catastrophic injury, wrongful death and traumatic brain injury. Colin approaches litigation with zealous enthusiasm and professional courtesy, with special emphasis on proactive litigation – moving first, running with the ball, and keeping each case moving forward as rapidly as possible.

His advice to new trial lawyers: “Learn the game by playing the game.”
