Best worst experience

I was so scared when I had to hire a lawyer for 2 misd. I could have picked anyone. However, I thought Mr. Hartt had a kind smile and I knew instantly by speaking to him he would have my best interest. He performed a miracle in my opinion and I so happy and relieved this experience is past me. The be...st part was his continued communication with me. He would answer my messages immediately and constantly empathized with my fears. He was honest and truthful. Be honest with him and he will be your best ally!!! Thanks so much James!!!

A Excellent Lawyer That Gets The Job Done

Even though Mr. James David Hartt was consulted and hired through telephone conversations, he was able to respresent me and completely deliver everything requested on my case. Mr. Hartt’s mannerism and professionism should not be underlook. He is an excellent lawyer, that goes in depth about the law ...you may or may not have violated, as well as all the potential consequences. Mr.Hartt’s communication skills are outstanding, as he able to respond to emails, texts, or calls within hours to the next business day. I would recommend this lawyer if you need proper representation throughout New York.

Highly Recommend

I reached out to James Hartt and explained my situation with a previous employer and was trying to determine if I should pursue or walk away. He asked many questions and then advised it was up to me but believed I had a strong case and it would most likely be settled. I retained and sure enough it ...played out just as he predicted. He was very reachable and responsive to any questions along the way. I would recommend him highly to anyone in a similar situation and enjoyed the fact that he was a straight shooter.

Disappointed

We hired James to represent our daughter in a sexual harassment case with her supervisor. The initial meeting required a large fee to begin. After paid, James did not return our daughter's calls in a prompt manner. The day of the hearing, James was in Canada, and our daughter had to text James thr...oughout the hearing as it was a "telephone hearing" with both parties involved. After a 4 hour hearing we were convinced the state investigator found probable cause, as so did James. Our daughter received a TEXT from James stating the outcome....the state DID NOT find probable cause, and James "was not available to speak to our daughter until 2 days later." James then proceeded to tell her that he would represent our daughter in federal court with a 5000.00 deposit! Until she made the decision not to go forward with James, he contacted her continually asking if she would like him to represent her. He also stated that he didn't want to tell our daughter he didn't have a lot of confidence in the state investigator that conducted the hearing.....this was after we received the results! Our daughter worked as an advocate for a victim's agency and this was the result!

I can breathe

James helped me in a discriminations casewith my employer. I had been through three lawyers prior to finding James. None of them wanted to get involved in a case involving my employer. James had a clear plan how to handle my case. After James went to my employer, they decided to resolve my case with ...everything I was asking for. He is upfront, honest, he will never leave you guessing. If you call or email him, you will always get answer. He is amazing!!!!

  • 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.
