A Sword and a Shield. If your a Police Officer or Union Official look no further. She is the BEST.

I am a police officer and Union representative in New Jersey and our department was experiencing workplace retaliation and civil rights violations. Attorney Katie Hartman was recommended to me by another officer who was experiencing similar problems within his department. Upon my first interaction... with Katie she gets right down to business. She allows you to tell your situation and will determine whether she feels you have a definitive case. Needless to say due to her knowledge and experience we were able to settle out of court in a period of nine months even going against a heavy hitting law firm. Katie is a pit bull. She listens to what is being said and then counter attacks making her opposition look foolish. I would definitely recommend Katie to any police officer or union official who feels they are being retaliated or targeted by their administration. I would also recommend Katie for legal representation. She is now my departments first choice when it comes to any counsel with legal services whether civil or criminal. Its great to know that there is an attorney out there who takes the time to listen and actually cares about the outcome. Thanks again, Katie.

Great attorney, great results

Katie Hartman is one of the finest lawyers and individuals I know. I have retained the services her and her firm on a number of employment related issues over the years. On each occasion, she provided prompt, practical and effective advice. I would recommend her to anyone.

Top notch, in every way.

Can you hear yourself having said "That'll never happen to me"? Well, it happened to us and we needed a top notch criminal attorney pronto. Thanks to the guidance of an attorney friend, who when asked for the name of the BEST person we could hire, he said Katherine Hartman. We called, and she answ...ered promptly. She was on top of everything from the beginning and kept us informed all throughout the proceedings, advising us of potential pitfalls, but, also able to talk to the prosecutors about options, and she was our trusted guide the entire time. She understands how the system works and was able to talk us through tough times. I have even contacted her, because she has my trust, for recommendations for estate planners and trust litigators. She's a real person, down to earth, and we felt comfortable talking to her. She's smart, smart, smart, and very competent. We appreciated everything that she did, and her costs weren't outrageous either. We weren't happy that we needed a criminal attorney, but, we sure are glad that Katie was the one we chose.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mrs. Hartman and I were opposing counsel on many matters when I was an Assistant Prosecutor, and I endorse her without reservation. Mrs. Hartman was always a formidable adversary. She was prepared, knowledgeable and aggressive. Moreover, Mrs. Hartman always conveyed her clients' individual facts and circumstances. Very few defense attorneys took the time to know their clients on such a deep personal level and relay how their struggles and obstacles impacted their case. Mrs. Hartman's attention to detail, compassion and zealous advocacy routinely produce outstanding results for her clients."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
