Our attorneys work with clients in a number of situations that are highly emotional such as placing an elderly parent in a nursing home or grieving over the loss of a loved one who was killed in an accident. We emphasize the human touch, make ourselves readily available throughout a case and encourage clients to maintain contact with us once their case is resolved.

How does one choose a law firm to entrust with a multimillion-dollar estate, a seven-figure real estate deal or a personal injury lawsuit following a life-changing accident?
One way or another, we always end up at the same starting point: a firm-wide commitment to every client that makes it evident we are engaged in our work, empathetic with the client’s situation and intent on producing the best possible outcome.
If you are just meeting us, there are a few telltale signs that we live up to the high standards that we set for ourselves — for starters, our 30-plus years as a firm serving individuals and businesses in Greater Sacramento and surrounding counties in a broad array of practice areas. That kind of staying power doesn’t come to those who settle for mediocre performance.
In fact, multiple AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok) consistently identify Michael Hackard among the top attorneys for inheritance theft and elder financial abuse cases in California.

The Hackard Law Office truly has their best clients interest at mind. Mr. Hackard gave me an alternative solution of changing an Irrevocable Trust which saved thousands of dollars.
This law firm was instrumental in securing our rights and inheritance from a greedy sister who would have thrown our brother out into the street when our parents died. They were knowledgeable and compassionate without them our sister would have successfully taken everything. It is with great pleasure that I can write this without reservations.
