| Will Hatchett’s primary purpose is to help people in need. His practice focuses on representing individuals in a wide array of litigation matters, particularly those who have been harmed through no fault of their own. Will has dedicated his career to standing up for people who have been wronged by large corporations and billion-dollar companies, taking pride in advocating for his clients to secure the fair and just resolutions they deserve.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Will obtained his undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University in Lubbock and his law degree from South Texas College of Law. At South Texas, he excelled in the school’s nationally renowned trial advocacy program under the legendary Dean T. Gerald Treece. In recognition of his advocacy skills, he received the Dean’s Outstanding Advocate Award and was inducted into the prestigious Order of Barristers, a national honorary society for those who demonstrate extraordinary courtroom abilities.
Will remains actively involved in the development and growth of the South Texas College of Law Trial Advocacy Program. Shortly after graduating, he was invited back as a trial advocacy coach, helping pass on the invaluable lessons he learned from his own mentors.
Before attending law school, Will worked as a control room operator for one of the nation’s largest energy providers, where he was part of a team overseeing the country’s largest renewable energy portfolio. The fast-paced and high-pressure environment taught him to solve problems effectively and efficiently.
In 2025, Will joined Perdue and Kidd after gaining valuable experience at another prominent firm, where he handled first-party bad faith insurance disputes and nursing home neglect cases. During this time, his passion for helping people who had been wronged only deepened. Every case presents an opportunity for him to apply the skills he has developed throughout his career, along with his work ethic, perseverance, and commitment to achieving justice for those taken advantage of.
Will has been selected to the Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars in 2024, an exclusive recognition for top-rated attorneys, and recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in both 2024 and 2025. He is also a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. The Forum limits membership to attorneys who have secured million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers qualify for membership.
Now, in addition to his legal work, Will is pursuing a new goal: earning his private pilot’s license.
In his free time, Will enjoys watching college football, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, golfing, hunting, and spending quality time with his family and friends. |
