Traffic Defense & Family Law Attorney in Chase City, Mecklenburg County, Virginia

Joshua Hatchell

Attorney at Law

After graduating summa cum laude from Hampden-Sydney College and earning my J.D. from the College of William and Mary, I worked as a prosecutor for nine years. I eventually decided to open my own firm here in Mecklenburg County. As the founder of Hatchell Law, PLLC, I now fight against prosecutors to help people like you preserve their future and their freedom. I’m well-known in the Chase City and Mecklenburg County community for my clear, focused dedication to each and every client—but I'm also easily recognized by my signature bowties.

Protect Your Future & Your Freedom

Traffic law violations like speeding tickets and reckless driving tickets can seem unfair. For minor violations like speeding, you can face enormous fines. For more serious traffic charges like a DUI, your very freedom can be at risk. When you set up a free traffic consultation with me, we'll navigate the justice system together. I’ll seek to reduce or even eliminate penalties against you.

If you’ve been charged with a serious crime, the impact on your life can be enormous. Your personal and professional reputation is at risk, but you don't need to let this moment define you. Hire me for your DUI defense or other criminal defense needs to receive the legal support you deserve. I’ll work hard to represent your side of the story and fight against those who want you to face serious consequences.

As a former prosecutor, I'm ready to fight on your side. I understand how the opposing team will build a case against you. They may try to discredit you, claim that you had the worst intentions, or even try to leave out your side of the story. I can anticipate these tactics when I build and defend your case, even if that means going all the way to trial.

The justice system can be tough and unforgiving, especially if you’re fighting it alone. Get an experienced attorney involved in your fight. Whether you’ve been charged with a serious traffic violation, a DUI, or another crime, I’m ready to listen to your story and seek a favorable outcome. I proudly represent the people of Mecklenburg, as well as South Hill, Boydton, Charlotte County, and Southside Virginia.
