Lisa is fantastic

I hired Lisa last year in regards to a custody challenge. She grasped the fundamentals of the case effectively, efficiently and professionally. Her ability to navigate the legal procedures and control the narrative was excellent. Moreover, her demeanor and approachability made the whole experience so... much more focussed and bearable. I would absolutely not hesitate in rehiring Lisa on future issues.

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.

Amazing Attorney

I can't express enough how greatly I value Ms. Hartley and her determination. I have been represented on numerous occasions by Lisa, better than I could have ever imagined. No matter how bad things seemed, how tough it looked, how busy she got, she always made sure my needs were met. Always so caring..., very knowledgeable and makes you feel extremely comfortable, as if you are family. She has always made sure my opinions were valued and my doubts were reassured. Ms. Hartley fights like no other, she goes way above and beyond! This woman is very open and honest. She has gotten me all the way through some of the toughest times in my life. I have been so blessed to have had Lisa by my side! I absolutely recommend Ms. Lisa E. Hartley a thousand times over! An Incredible Woman she is!

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.

Awesome attorney

Lisa was my attorney in a very sensitive family court case. Her experience and the way she handled the case earned me excellent results and also helped me survive emotionally. Furthermore, I was in a very difficult financial situation, Lisa did not give up on me and worked with me unlike other attorn...eys I worked with in the past. I highly recommend her.
