Chuck Hatfield draws on 26 years of experience litigating and negotiating high profile cases and is known for contributing his expertise to appellate cases in Missouri with political and electoral significance.
In 2024, he went before the Missouri Supreme Court representing a group of voters that collected more than 380,000 signatures supporting a Missouri ballot measure to protect abortion rights.
