Individual attorneys at Hooper Hathaway also specialize in estate planning, domestic relations, criminal defense, real estate development, and other specialty areas. While the firm maintains relationships with larger firms in Washington, D.C., New York, and other major metropolitan areas for assistance in securities, antitrust, international and regulatory areas, the principal practice of the firm is to provide the client with direct representation by a Hooper Hathaway attorney who has many years of active, practical experience in the specific area of the law in which the client requires advice or service.
