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.

Criminal behaviors by bill collectors.

I retained Mr. Hartt as my S.S.D.I. check was illegally garnished by the Bank of America. It wasn't his specific area practice of expertise, but he was able to address the matters ending the HARASSMENTS BY THE COLLECTORS. My personal opinion is that since he doesn't normally address legal issues re...garding the F.D.C.P.A. and bill collection, he was very understanding of the fact that I needed assistance regarding the constant bombardment of illegal, unethical collections. These matters made it all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

A+ Representation

I retained James to represent me in very challenging case involving slanderous accusations made against me in the workplace. James took my case and defended me with unmatched expertise. James responded quickly to my questions, he brought to light evidence which was overlooked, and told my side of the... story. James is now my go-to for legal aid in the future, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of council. Thank you James.

Got The Job Done

I hired James Hartt to handle my unfair dismissal from Utica College's accelerated nursing program. The program's utter lack of organization and professionalism led to my needing to take legal action against the school. He assisted in writing my pre-litigation mandate which he has his office deliver.... When the school delayed in their response, he contacted the appropriate faculty to provide a sense of urgency that prompted the school to finally take the case seriously. Finally he spoke to the school's outside counsel, upon whose recommendation the school reinstated me. I cannot thank James Hartt enough for all his help throughout my frustrating ordeal and ensuring the best outcome in the end!

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!!!!
