A practicing attorney’s unflinching account of what fifty years of representing vulnerable people actually costs. In 1956, a six-year-old boy in a Sacramento Catholic school classroom scooted over in his desk—physically moved his small body to the right—to make room for his guardian angel. Seven decades later, Michael Hackard is still making room: for dying clients the legal system has forgotten, for a faith practice tested by crisis after crisis, and for the grace that arrives in forms no one expects. Making Room: A Memoir of Faith, Law, and Endurance traces the arc of a life shaped by Irish Catholic formation, generational hardship, and a legal career that took Hackard from a brush with the Manson family during his earliest days in law to becoming one of California’s most recognized elder law attorneys. Along the way: brain surgery at forty-two. Pharmaceutical poisoning at forty-four. The death of a law partner. Fifteen million dollars in debt during the 2008 financial collapse. Twelve years of litigation that shadowed every case he took. But Making Room is not a story of triumph. It is a story of endurance—of what happens when a man trained in Ignatian spirituality and daily prayer confronts the moral complexity of contingency-fee practice, the impossibility of helping everyone who calls, and the accusations that arrive decades after the promises were made. Michael Hackard is the founder of Hackard Law in Sacramento, California, focusing on elder financial abuse, trust litigation, and inheritance disputes. He has been featured in AARP Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and on C-SPAN, and has testified before the U.S. House of Representatives. His YouTube channel at Hackard Law has accumulated millions of views.©2026 Michael Hackard (P)2026 Michael Hackard Akademiker & Spezialisten Christentum Recht & Gesetz
