Matrimonial

When I tell you this woman is a God send, I mean it. Not only does she KNOW the law but she very quickly learned, knew and cared for me and my needs. There was never a time, day or night, weekend or week day, that I did not feel as though she 100% had my back. Even now, after the nightmare that was m...y divorce, I truly feel as though I have the benefit of her hard work. I know what was finalized in my court papers like the back of my hand, at her insistence and I could not be more thankful about that.

Contested Matrimonial

Ms. Hartley (Lisa) has been invaluable during the entire process of my matrimonial action. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and informative. Lisa was also caring and supportive during the difficult and stressful times. I will definitely recommend Lisa to anyone in need of an attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Hartley represented us as buyers in a house sale and we found her to be extremely competent, knowledgeable, and conscientious every step of the way. Whenever the transaction hit a snag, she kept in constant contact with the seller's attorney, realtor, and whoever else she needed to in order to k...eep things moving in a timely fashion, which was extremely important to us! Ms. Hartley truly knows how to get things done. She was easy to get in touch with, willing to answer questions, and is a genuinely nice, caring, very intelligent lady! I have also used Ms. Hartley's services in the past - approximately 10 years ago she represented me in a divorce proceeding and for a house closing when I was the seller. I was 100% pleased with her work during those transactions also or I wouldn't still be her client! My husband and I highly recommend her!

So appalled

My mother hired Lisa as her divorce attorney. She was promised the world and at the end was told "don't you just want this over?". She ended up broke and in debt. A few months later, my mother fell ill and was on a ventilator. I needed to obtain her divorce papers (or copies of them) to process her... health benefits. She could not speak for herself because she was on a ventilator and I was her power of attorney. When I contacted the office and finally tried to speak to Lisa, she screamed at me and had a temper tantrum about my asking for the papers- even though I offered to come by or fax documentation of the power of attorney. She ended up hanging up on me?! Is that professional when all I was asking for was paperwork that I was entitled to? I ended up finding other means to obtain the needed documentation and then my mother passed away. Thank you for NOTHING!

The Best!

Lisa came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. She represented me during a long, complicated and nasty custody/divorce. From our first conversation and throughout the process, she was very professional and confident, and left no stone unturned to ensure I had the best chances of a s...uccessful resolution. She really looked out for mine and my child’s interest. As a result, I was ultimately granted custody of my child and my divorce as well. I am eternally grateful for everything Lisa has done for me.
