I was referred to Mr. Daniel Higson from a co-worker last year in 2018. I had the best experience with Daniel and his wife during my filing of bankruptcy and hearing. They were extremely helpful, informative and kind during the process. I would recommend Daniel Higson for your bankruptcy needs. I would give 10 stars if i could R. Michael

Very helpful. They were with us every step of the way. We never had to worry about anything and our bankruptcy was very smooth and easy.

Dan and Deanna assisted me nearly 10 years ago. However, I still do occasionally have questions that arise and clarification required. They are always available to speak with and more than accommodating with respect to dealing with any questions or challenges I have had! Unquestionably, If I were to ever require their professional services, I would not hesitate to retain them again and I most certainly do recommend that anyone and everyone, do the same!!

Daniel Higson and his wife Deanna are an amazing team. They are absolutely excellent to have in your corner. They took very good care of us with some difficult legal matters. They put us at ease. Their correspondence was always timely and reassuring. I would highly recommend this firm. I am very grateful for the amount of time, preparation, and professionalism that was administered to us.

Daniel and ALL of his staff were great. They thought of all potential issues, they handled everything extremely professionally, they relieved all of my worries. I couldn't have asked for more. Just what I needed!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing Dan Higson for over a decade. We needed an attorney years ago and we were fortunate enough to find him. We would never want to utilize another attorney's services. Dan is professional, kind, and is a pillar of integrity. When having to use an attorney's services it is not always during a happy time in life, yet Dan and the rest of the staff make it a nice experience. We cannot say enough about how much we respect and appreciate the level of service we receive from Dan Higson. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and completely capable attorney, look no further.

When I taught things were going down hill. I ended up going on google and searching a bankruptcy lawyer. I came across Hathaway office read all the review's they were all good review.I send them a message and they were quick to response right back. I went to there office not knowing what I wanted to do. I spoke to Deanna and explain my status she's a (great listener) she gave me good advice. I went home and went over everything she said. I ended up going back. Im so glad I did, that was my best decision. She's really quick in responding back you e-mail or phone calls if you have and question her team and her self and very quick to response back (very helpfull) After meeting Mr.Dan (OMG) what a kind man, honest and respectful man, he made me feel welcome. He and his wife gave me some encourage words that I take with me everyday. I can't thank them enough for helping me with my chapter 7 bankruptcy.. If I had to do it all over I would go back with them in a heart beat. I will fir sure be using there services in the future and 100% recommend there services to my family and friends.

I have been an attorney for nearly 50 years, working primarily in municipal and local government law and general civil law. I currently volunteer with the Ventura County Bar Association's "Ventura County Legal Aid" (VCLA) program. I had occasion recently to work with a client who came to our program with a bankruptcy law issue. Bankruptcy law can be very complex and is not my area of expertise. Dan Higson was willing to consult and work with me in the handling of the matter on a "pro bono" basis --- and the matter was successfully resolved. I was extremely impressed with Dan's knowledge and expertise in this very specialized area of law. I have worked with many excellent lawyers in many fields over the years --- and Dan is definitely one of them!

Daniel Higson made a really tough decision into an easy one. A bankruptcy is something I thought I'd never have to go through, but he made it a very easy process. He was super helpful, and extremely knowledgeable, and he explained everything to us with great detail. Because of that, we knew what to expect during the whole process, and we came out of our experience with very positive results. I would highly recommend him.

I went through an experience that I thought I would never have to. I was recommended to Daniel Higson and I'm very glad I went to him. Dan was very welcoming, explained each step to be taken, and I felt very confident with his knowledge as I went through the procedure. Thank you so much, I would recommend Dan and Deanna highly.

Dan Higson is a fantastic attorney; very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I recently used their services and we couldn't be happier. Daniel and his wife were very quick to respond, they made the whole process easy and before we knew it, it was over. I highly recommend them if you or your family have hit a rough patch and need a start fresh.

Mr Higson handled my bankruptcy and he was referred to me-
and I was more than pleased. He worked with my available time-- office was very easy to find--- at all times things were done quickly and explained to me . When all finished , I came away with knowledge that will help me in the future be more wise about debt and spending. Very healthy experience with a care for people.

I was so terrified when I finally determined it was time to contact an Attorney about some debts that were caused by a medical emergency I had no control over. I had no clue of what I was doing, or how to go about to do this. But, I somehow found Dan Higson. My first meeting was very informative. I met with him in his office for over an hour. He was so understanding, very caring and most of all, very informative of what I needed to do and he reassured me, he can help me and get me to a place to rebuild my life. After he explained everything to me, I was assured this would be OK. Filling any kind of bankruptcy is not fun, its very scary and very intimidating. However, Dan and Deanna both took such good care of me and answered all my questions anytime I needed some reassurance. I was able to communicate at all times and my emails were responded to very promptly; even on the weekends if it was urgent. This is very rare for an Attorney or his staff to take such pride in their clients and care so much about them. I cannot say enough what a great experience I had going through Dan and Deanna for my troubles. I am sure I was not the easiest client, but they never shrugged me off. They were just more understanding to help me get through this troubled time. I was so well prepared by the time my hearing came around, that it was a breeze to get through. I knew ahead of time what to expect, the type of questions I could expect and how to answer them. Yes, I as nervous, but they "held my hand" the entire time. I am so grateful I found them. I recommend these two wonderful people so highly. More than I can ever express just in words. So if you have financial worries, and you don't know which direction to turn, Turn to Dan and Deanna, they will help you get through it. They will put you back to the direction to rebuilding your life without stress, worries or fears.

I highly recommend Daniel Higson because of his knowledge and expertise. I had originally went to another attorney, I ended up getting a second opinion and chose Dan because of his wisdom, confidence, and expertise. Thank you Dan!

I highly recommend Dan Higson. He's a true professional, excellent attorney. My case was very difficult , however Dan found a way to negotiate a great outcome.

We had a very smooth BK process. Mr Higson was very helpful and I would totally recommend his services.

Dan treated us like we were human beings and made the process so smooth. We would recommend him to anyone that has legal needs.

Mr. Higson and assistant where very helpful, we're always patient and tuck great care of us as a family. I will defenatly recommend Mr. Higson for personal injury case.

We first contacted Dan Higson when my dad needed help with probate, and doing his Trust. Since then, Dan & Deanna helped my husband with his mom's probate, and also did our Trust. They are very professional, courteous, and very friendly people. I would recommend their services to my friends or family!

Very professional. His partner Deanna Higson followed through on documentation and any paperwork required for our business litigation. Honest and on point. We did not experience any surprises. We were given enough information to prepare for any contingencies that could have come up. We highly recommend Dan and Deanna Higson.

Don't know how many people can say this, but we sure love our attorney! Cause our attorney is Daniel Higson! When we found ourselves in a bind, Dan steered us confidently through the legal process with his extensive expertise. Thank you, Dan and Deanna, for your attention to detail and care during a trying time. Your level of proficiency and integrity eased our minds and we are so relieved to have a professional we can count on for all our legal needs.

What a stroke of luck that we contacted Daniel Higson for our legal needs! He is extremely knowledgeable, with years of practical experience and made our journey through the legal maze methodical and easy to understand. When we were stressing out he would calm our fears and explain the process. He has undeniable integrity and we are so grateful for his expertise in every aspect of our legal situations...and there have been more than one. We highly recommend Daniel Higson for your legal counsel.

This was the BEST Attorney my Mom could have choosen. After my Dad died, she could not pay all the bills so she had to file Bankruptcy. Dan and Deanna have been so patient and understanding to our situation. Their service has been beyond what you would expect from an Attorney. #1 choice in Ventura County!

When desperately searching for a bankruptcy attorney online, I went with Dan Higson's office after reading all their great reviews. So, I felt I should leave a review to thank Dan & Deanna for being very kind and patient to my family & I during this whole bankruptcy process. I knew very little about it when I came in for my free consultation and Dan explained everything in a way that I could understand. Deanna is very prompt and easy to get a hold of and worked around my schedule to get me in. This was all new to me and kind of scary and they made me feel very comfortable and confident that my family and I would be OK. I highly recommend Hathaway Law Firm!

I want to say thank you to Dan Higson and his staff for being very helpful and always explaining everything .I recommend them as they are very helpful.

Excellent professionalism. Daniel and his staff are very kind, friendly and prompt to your needs.. I couldn't be more satisfied with Daniel Higson and everyone else that works for him.. I definitely recommend him for any legal issues. A+++

When I needed a law services my friend Rick Harbus, a professional in the investments field, told me “there is a man in the city of Ventura, his name is Dan Higson, he has reputation that goes all over the country as a top professional, moreover he is a man of his word, who will go for the extra miles for his clients, and truly care for them, you need to meet him, he is one of those guys that are not exist anymore” I said are you crazy, you know how busy I am, this is no way I’ll drive over an hour each side (I’m in LA area), and Rick said even if you need to drive 5 hours each side it’s worthwhile.
I called Dan and immediately I knew I’m going to meet him, I found its all truth, Dan and Deanna working as a team, they treated me like I’m the most important person in the world, they really cares, and they did everything possible to make my life easier, they are people of the word, they did everything they promised and more than that.
English is second language for me and I have heavy accent, I also have hearing barrier, but they both was patient, they took the time as much as needed and completed the job perfectly, I’ll recommend them to every good and decent people, who needs law service without second thought.

Mr. Higson was a tremendous assistance to us during an extremely difficult time in our life. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing bankruptcy. Thank you, Mr. Higson!

Mr. Higson was highly recommended to us to prepare a Living Trust for us. He understood exactly what we needed an we feel confident that all our wishes will be fulfilled. Thank you Mr. Higson and Deanna for handling this in a professional and caring manner. We will definitely recommend you to our many friends.

Daniel Higson and his staff have been a great help to me for a number of years. They have been kind, understanding, and had good advice for several situations. Daniel has proven to be an excellent attorney. I would strongly recommend him.

We have worked with Daniel Higson for 25 years. He is very quick to respond to our legal needs for our company. He's very ethical in conjunction with the law. Would highly recommend him. Excellent service.

Excellent experience. Provided patience and compassion for a stressful family situation. Dan knows the way to go and moves with knowledge and kindness. Great at explaining the Bankruptcy process, making sure we were OK going through the steps. Deanna also top-notch in keeping us informed and always easy to contact with questions. 5+++ Stars

Dan & Deanna go above & beyond the call of duty for you as a client. They are kind, extremely knowledgeable, as they assist you in making one of the hardest decisions you need to make. They both are available by phone or email. Deanna, has been, available when out of town & on weekends...always encouraging, patient with any questions. Dan & Deanna both take the time, with you as a client, to explain everything, from paperwork, to time lines, Dan even gave me a hug after my court date, as I was a nervous wreck. I would & have referred them to others, as I feel so very lucky to have them both on my side. I am quite humbled, by both Dan & Deanna, for not just being "a number", but truly being a client with extra care or going that extra mile for a client. That alone shows their professionalism, taking the time for excellence in customer service that is so rare these days. I thank them, both, from the bottom of my heart.

Hired attorney

Mr. Hickson was hired by my now deceased father primarily for Estate Planning. My father was a paraplegic with severe health conditions. Mr. Hickson, and his Paraprofessional never batted an eye at traveling to my fathers home to conduct business. Mr. Hickson always treated my father with the utmost professional and personal respect. My father relied on Mr. Hicksons competent legal representation. Without fail Mr. Hickson never appeared to be hurried for time, always clarifying information and, or questions my father had. If he didnt have the immediate answer to a question, he found the answer soon after. If there was an extra mile to go Mr. Hickson buckled up the boots, and traveled the journey. The unconditional moral support given to my father is only a diminutive example of Mr. Hicksons personal, and professional attributes.
Obviously, my father held as I hold Mr. Hickson and his Legal practices in the highest regards.
Dorine Horzynek, The Dalles, OR

My husband & I strongly recommend this law firm. Dan & Deanna are very professional & made us feel very comfortable when discussing our business. Thanks for helping us.

Seventy three years ago in the endearing and enduring film classic “Casablanca”, Humphry Bogart said to Ingrid Bergman “The problems of three little people in this crazy world don’t amount to a hill of beans.” It was an incisive observation. Now nearly eight decades later the world has retrogressed from crazy to out of control and the soundest bit of advice seems to be “don’t get involved in contentious disputes and keep your distance from friction which is not to be confused with fiction as we all might well be enlightened by literature.

However there are some moments and incidents in our lives we can not ignore and we are compelled to leave the role of spectator and assume that of participant. Consequently for what it is worth, here is my two cents on an issue which greatly disturbs me.

My friend and attorney Daniel Higson, in my opinion, is being maligned by another lawyer right here on the Internet. I have known Dan as a friend and as my attorney for more than 20 years and I think he is a remarkable human being whose decency and integrity is beyond reproach. Twenty years is time enough to make an extensive assessment of a person and in my assessment of Dan, I have long felt he is one of the most worthy persons I have ever encountered. He has given time and energy to multiple worthy causes in our community. He, his wife, and their children have volunteered for years in our town’s shelter for the homeless. He has offered legal advice to many at no cost. He is an admirable husband and father who has worked hard and provided well for his family. And as pater familias his advice and guidance have served his four children well as they have too, have become concerned adults working helpfully in their communities.

My family has often referred to me as a “demanding critic” , they love me so I’m hoping and assuming they meant it as a compliment. So what about Dan Higson? He is not in the category of one of the good guys. He is one of the best guys and I feel fortunate to have him as an attorney and a friend.

Dan set up our corporation for us. It went very smooth; and his guidance and council is second to none. Dan is a real professional, I highly recommend Dan Higson and the Hathaway Firm.
Greg Dietrich

Dan Higson helped us with a bankruptcy and then, a few years later, forming a new corporation. In both cases he and his firm handled all aspects of the situation and guided us through it all. We were not left in the dark or left to handle anything on our own with no help. They were thorough and thoughtful and made the entire process, in both situations, very easy. More important, both legal actions were complete and exactly as required. Very highly recommend Mr. Higson.

I recommend my father-in-law, Daniel Higson to all of my friends who need help forming a business entity. His office staff was very competent and professional in handling the incorporation of my heating and air conditioning business. Dan worked not only with me, but with other shareholders of my corporation to ensure we complied with all corporate laws and regulations. I highly recommend his services to those considering starting a business.

Dan Higson is my father in law and of coarse I think he is a great attorney. More than that, the friends that I have referred to him are very pleased with the services her provided. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and co-workers.

I have known Dan Higson since around the time that I joined his extended family in August 2014 and have seen that he is a man that has utmost respect for people and their everyday needs. His career and business have demonstrated his integrity and willingness to help others, both as an attorney and as a family man.

I have known Daniel Higson for over forty years - long before he became my brother-in-law. He has always been the person I turn to for legal advice.

Several years ago I moved from California to Oregon and found myself facing bankruptcy. I had a very difficult tax-related issue that my own bankruptcy attorney was not able to answer. I called Dan and he was able to figure out the issues and come up with a workable solution. He explained all the issues and options to me, gave me his advice , both as an attorney and as a family member.

Dan is a person I admire and respect, not because he is married to my sister, but because he is a genuinely good person, who works hard to do the best he can for his clients. I would, without reservation, recommend Daniel Higson for Bankruptcy ( his specialty) , Personal Injury and/or Estate Planning.

Daniel A. Higson is a top notch Attorney and a man of great integrity. He has provided excellent legal advice to me personally and to my family as well for over 25 years. His advice has been golden. He established a living trust for our family estate in an efficient and inexpensive manner. He also has helped our family in numerous other legal situations situations. He is a very likable attorney and a great human being. He is always humble and kind, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking sound legal advice. Honest always, he is a credit to his profession. I am most honored to call him my friend of many years.

Dan's assistant for the past few years has been his wife, Deanna. Uber efficient and always nice, Dan and Deanna make a great team.

You've heard the old saying, "The cobbler's children don't wear shoes." That has never been the case in our family. My father, Daniel Higson has always made sure our needs have been met--both as a dad and as an attorney. After my husband and I bought a home and started our family, Dad made sure we had our assets protected and his grandchildren provided for. He did our family's will and trust and it was and easy and painless process. I was able to see "Attorney Dad" at work and it quickly became clear why he is so loved and respected. I'm never surprised when friends I have referred come back and gush about how kind, smart and professional my father is. There are certainly other Attorney's in town who do estate planning and bankruptcies. After working for a couple of them, I can tell you--if you are looking for a man of integrity who genuinely wants the best for his clients--Daniel Higson a.k.a. "Dad", is the only attorney you need to see!

Dan Higson is my father. While in school I had the opportunity to work with him in his law firm and was able to see first hand how he treated the individuals that came to see him. No big surprise, since it is the same way he has always treated all people he comes in contact with -- with kindness and respect. My husband and I are in our late 20's and we have referred many of our friends to Daniel Higson for legal advice. He has handled estate planning, real estate issues and bankruptcies for them. Without exception they have all reported back to me that they have been very satisfied with my dad's legal services. I will continue to recommend Daniel Higson for any legal services and of my friends need!

I have used Dan several times through out the years. He is an atty you would want on your side. He will fight for you. Dan is awesome and knows what he is doing. You will feel secure and at ease when you retain this law firm. We were return clients and hired him to do our living trust , between Deanna and Dan, both were extremely knowledgeable. They will answer any and all questions you might have. I strongly recommend this law firm. They always go above and beyond for their clients.
I know if I need any legal advise in the future, i will be sure to call them first!

As a former employee and client of Mr. Higson's, I have referred friends and family to Daniel Higson many times over the past 6 years. He is kind, compassionate and genuine. He has been practicing Bankruptcy Law in Ventura County for over 30+ years and is actually a Certified Bankruptcy Attorney. Everyone I have referred has told me how relieved they feel after meeting with Dan and his wife Deanna, they make the legal process as smooth as can be. I have also referred people to Mr. Higson for Wills & Trusts and Personal Injury cases. My friends I've referred always call me with a HUGE thanks! I wouldn't refer the people I care about to any other Bankruptcy Attorney-EVER!

My experience with Daniel Higson has been wonderful. He has been extremely patient with me and informative when I needed help quickly. I will highly recommend him to my friends and family and will not hesitate to use h again.

I have known Daniel Higson for quite a few years. He was first retained and referred by friend of mine. The referral from my friend was most complimentary- he said Daniel was the best around. I then retained Daniel to handle my own case. I couldn't be happier with the decision I made. Daniel, his associates and staff and Firm are knowledgeable, friendly, sensitive to one's personal situation, compassionate, professional, responsive and handle matters in a timely fashion. I would not consider referring anyone else in this business. Daniel Higson is an very reputable attorney who will forever be my "go to person". The best in the business.

Daniel Higson takes it very seriously the need to serve each client with respect and support. I was pleased from the start to the end with his results. I had a good experience from Mr. Higson. My fresh start unfolds into a new and exciting opportunities. All because I had Dan Higson do my legal documents for me. I would recommend him again and again.:)

I had Dan Higson, help me out in a bankruptcy case while I was getting a divorce. I needed someone who was there for me during the low time in my life. Dan Higson made the bankruptcy go so smoothly and I did not have to be concern on his practice of law. When he told me what was going to happen and how things were going to be handled by him. It was all true! Dan Higson cares about his clients well being. You will not find that from most lawyers. I will be going back to him for other issues that he handles besides bankruptcy, ie., trust for me and my kids, and he also can help me with my business I will be starting up. Needing to have him do some documents for a LLC. Dan Higson is someone I would refer his name out to and I have been asked several times from people. Call him up and get a consultation. Its all worth it! you will see what I'm talking about once you meet him. His work is worth it and most of all his honesty, care and moral well being. Thank you Mr. Higson for a excellent job you have done for me. I will never forget you! 5 stars is nothing for the work he did, and deserves a A+ 10 stars!!!!!!

When I first went to see Mr. Higson at his law office, I actually met with his wife Deanna. My life was literally falling apart around me. I had just found out my husband was cheating on me, so I kicked him out. We had massive credit card debt, all of it in my name, and he was the major bread-winner. I can't think of another situation that I needed financial counseling more than I did at that time. Things looked pretty bad.
I feel like Deanna and Dan took me under their wing. I feel they gave me the BEST advice for MY situation, and patiently walked me through what needed to happen. They were there for me whenever I had questions or concerns. I felt like I was important, not just another client.
My bankruptcy was filed and discharged. Things are much better now. Im much smarter now, about A LOT of things. Im so happy they helped me get through it.

I have known Dan Higson almost 25 years. He has been my "go-to" guy for all things legal. Clear and succinct, never any legal phony-baloney.

Although I myself have never used his services for bankruptcy, (thank God,) several of my friends have. And they have all raved about his honesty, sincerity and integrity in handling all matters of bankruptcy. He has made a most unpleasant experience, tolerable. Thanks Dan!

Dan really listened to me and made sure I understood every bit of the process. Highly recommend him.

Shortly after a divorce in 2007 Mr. Higson handled my case with impeccable professionalism. Life's circumstances were unsettling and it was helpful that he was so knowledgeable about his specialty, bankruptcy. I was young and understood very little about the process that I was embarking on and he took time with me to go over my paperwork and explained in detail what to expect in court. I appreciated his attention to my case, as I am sure it was not his only and certainly not his "biggest" or most significant at the time.
