History
Prior to founding the Hatch Law Office, Patrick Hatch gained hands-on legal experience at some of the nation's most prestigious immigration law practices. During law school, he learned immigration litigation, which included writing successful briefs for appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, and 9th Circuits, at the Yerman Group in New York City. Upon graduation, Patrick worked as an Associate at Akst & Akst, a premier full service immigration firm in New York City. He handled all types of family-based and employment-based immigration cases, including many PERM cases. Upon moving to North Carolina, Patrick worked as the Lead Attorney at Linnartz Law Office, where he trained in removal defense under Board Certified Immigration Specialist Hans Christian Linnartz. When Mr. Linnartz chose to teach full-time at Duke Law School, Patrick took over Mr. Linnartz's caseload and began the Hatch Law Office.
