Mr. Hutcheson founded his private practice as a Modesto lawyer in 1986. Since then, the firm has grown from focusing on his original practice area of criminal defense to handle personal injury matters, business litigation and adoption. As the business law side of the firm developed, he successfully represented clients in cases involving sexual harassment, labor standards, contract disputes and partnership dissolution. Due to his litigation experience, he occasionally gets requests from other law firms to associate with them on specific cases. As a result, he has tried a military court marshal, a bankruptcy discharge issue and a case in France. He has also handled many terminations of parental rights cases that are necessary for adoptions.
