Cynthia Hartman

I would never hire this attorney ever again! Over 2 years ago I hired attorney Hartman to represent me in my divorce and appeal on a DCF case. She finalized my divorce that was far from a good deal but she knew my whole background by this point and knew my whole case since she had been through it wit...h me for so long. So I rehired attorney Hartman to represent me in a appeal against DCF where my ex husband accused me of neglecting my son and being addicted to elicit drugs. I thought this was going to be a no Brainer case since every shred of evidence pointed to I never took any drugs and never neglected my son. Proven by literally hundreds of drug tests I had taken and also a hair follicle test I took that showed I hadn't taken any drugs 3 months prior to this and have never has a history of taking any drugs or neglect! I was also a stay at home mom for 3 1/2 years prior to my divorce without any other incidents up until the accusation from my bitter ex. Anyway going on over 2 years later and $2,500 just for the appeal! Attorney Hartman never did what she was paid to do and get a resolution to my case. Once she had her money she completely neglected and avoided me and on top of that she owed me a balance of $500 back proven by her own records that it was never spent on my case or used for billable hours. I have continued to call and email her numerous times without any answer or acknowledgment to me. I have been unbelievably patient with her and very kind considering and she just does not care. Now I'm a single mom paying child support to my ex because I have nothing that says DCF and my ex were wrong by thier accusations. I have no Job and I'm in extreme debt because I can't get a job due to my ex's erratic work schedule of 2 days work,1 day off,2 nights work,3 days off and it rotates back one day every week. I have lost my drivers license due to owing child support and I depend on a friend for a place to live. Attorney Hartman knows all of this and she still refuses to give me the money owed to me or find a resolution to my case! She will not even give me my records so I can find my own solution to these problems. She just doesn't care about me,my son or our quality of life now that she's paid!!
