Introducing Making Room: Michael Hackard’s Memoir of Faith, Law, and Endurance

Publication Date April 17, 2026 in Firm News, Legal Advocacy

At six, I scooted over in my desk to make room for my guardian angel. At seventy-six, I’m still making room.

I’m Mike Hackard — Sacramento trust litigation attorney, fifty years of representing clients, featured in The Wall Street Journal, AARP, and C-SPAN. My memoir, Making Room, tells the story — brain surgery, pharmaceutical poisoning, professional collapse, and the faith that held it all together.

This book is for anyone undergoing a trial by fire, when simply showing up may be what matters most. As I say every morning as darkness fades and the sunlight breaks through the horizon:

“This is beyond me. It’s up to you.”
