Honest and Goes to bat

James was wonderful to work with. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and honest through the entire process. In the end, he got me a settlement for more than what I had expected. Great job done.

Pay A Fee And Watch Them Flee...

Age Discrimination - I filled out the many forms, summitted and wrote up everything with supporting voice recordings. Just pay my $3000 fee and answer their questions, he said. Did anyone answer my many questions? No. I don't how the process works, don't worry he said. We will talk prior to the call,... nope! Oh, wait... he texted, "You hit it out of the ballpark." Really? The employer didn't provide any of my requested items. You see, I'm not employed so no access to employer evidence. Mr. Hartt states (afterward), discovery doesn't exist at the State level. This seemed important to know. I had lots of questions, most with no response. Mr Hartt doesn't do appeals. "I cannot represent you in an appeal because I’m not in a public lawyer." Later, Mr Hartt states "...if you want a second kick at the can, federal court is nice..." "My retainer is $5500 which includes $400 filing fee and $100 Service of process fee but it could be a nice second chance. Oh, wait... we can't go Federal. If ANY lawyer asks for a fee and NOT an hourly rate.... don't walk, RUN!!! I have every email and text from this professional. What a huge mistake!

If you want to take this offline, I’d be happy to speak to you about your case. I am not an “Appellate” lawyer so it is true that I don’t handle appeals. It’s also entirely possible that you performed well at your Fact Finding Conference and yet did not get a “Probable Cause” Determination. I told you, as I tell all clients at the beginning that these cases are “risky”. There’s never a guarantee of prevailing, and while I wish we had received a Probable Cause Determination in your case, we did not. But it is 100% accurate that there is no discovery process during the DHR Investigation. I wish there were. Again, please consider calling me if you wish to discuss your case with me personally.

Superb Lawyer-even better experience

I was skeptical and scared and James quelled all those fears AND delivered and favorable stress free outcome. Even during a PANDEMIC I was not stressed because James was my lawyer. My concerns and complaints were not taken lightly and I was able to find peace through the situation. I am grateful for ...James, the outcome and my overall experience. Thank you again.

Employment Termination Matter Solved!

When I was fired for unjust causes, I interviewed a half dozen attorneys, each of whom charged outrageous retainers. Then, I found Mr. Hartt. He helped me WIN my case which settled before it went to trial.

This man is a disgrace to the law. He has no soul. All he is interested in is money. No morals or values ! Run do not hire!

Since you are anonymous, I have no way of knowing who you are or if I even represented you. Instead of anonymously defaming me, I would ask you to delete this ad hominem review and speak to me directly. If you are angry because I charge for my services, all I can say is: this is how I make my living. I actually charge substantially less than most attorneys practicing in the field of employment civil rights.
