JAMES HARTT SAVED ME!!

I was at the end of my rope and didn't have any idea what I was going to do and then I was sent this "Angel" from above that led me in the right direction with a great outcome. I remember him saying "don't worry" and it was very hard for me to trust if you will, but I put my faith and trust in Atty ...James Hartt and he DID NOT let me down!! He guided me through the whole process, even though I was a little "out of sorts" at times and he just kept reassuring me it was going to be alright. He was not only my Attorney, he was my Guardian Angel, my Savior, and last but not least my HERO!! All of this trust and faith that I put in this AMAZING, KIND, CONSIDERATE, CARING individual that I never met and never even seen, truly deserves the BIGGEST GOLDEN STAR!! I commend you Mr. Atty. James D. Hartt, and trust and believe, you truly deserve it. I would recommend anyone out there that is reading this and needs an Atty for hire, James David Hartt is your man. I will be forever grateful Jamie. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

"Great Super Lawyer"

I hired Mr. Hartt for a discrimination case. In the beginning I was going to give up on the case and I told Mr., Hartt about this and Mr Hartt really believed in my case and that we were going to prevail, so I continue with the case. His writing skills and expertise was out of this world, not to ment...ion every time I had a question I will text him or email him and he will always respond in a timely manner. James Hartt is a very great lawyer he has a great heart, his passion to help people is amazing and his legal fees are well than fair. I enjoyed working with Mr. Hartt and if I ever have any issues again which I hope I don't I know who to contact. We need more lawyers in this world like Mr. Hartt who cares about there clients and put there Heart in every case just like Mr. Harrt does. Thank you again James! You are the best!

Posted by Bryant | July 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

My review of an A+ Attorney

I hired James to help me after I was wrongfully terminated from my position at an NYS agency. He helped me immensely throughout the process and always returned my calls in a timely manner if I had questions about the complaint we filed with the Division of Human Rights. We ended up moving the case to... Federal Court because I was seeking a higher payout. James had informed me along the way that one of my witness could end up facing criminal charges should we proceed further into Federal Court, James always made sure I was aware of all the risks along the way. I decided to drop the case at the Federal level because I did not want to risk my witness’s freedom in the pursuit of more money. This served as an example of how James puts his clients first, not how much money he can makes, surely he could have made much more if we were to proceed. James promptly funded the remainder of the retainer for the case. I’ve had bad luck getting money back from attorneys in the past, but this was not the case with James. Over the years I’ve contact James regarding a few legal questions and he has always responded immediately. For example 2 years after I hired James, I had an administrative issue arise my new employer which caused me a great deal of stress. I text James late on a Friday night because I was so distraught, I didn’t know what to do, and was in a complete panic. James took time out of his weekend to consult with me about the incident first thing Saturday morning. I felt so much better knowing someone as knowledgeable as James is always there for me if I needed it. From my experience, it’s not easy to find an attorney that won’t just tell you what you want to hear so they can get your money, James certainly stands above the rest by offering fair rates, along with his specialized knowledge of the law, and compassion for his clients while seeking justice. I never take the time to write reviews but I decided to do so because I can’t thank James enough for the support he has provided me over the years. If you’re looking from an attorney that will stand by your side during some of your worst days, and help restore peace to your life then James is your guy.

Don't Look Anywhere Else!

Jamie Hartt was a fantastic lawyer. He was extremely fair on pricing to represent me in my employment discrimination case. He met with me first at no cost to discuss the case. He gave his professional experience and opinion on where I stood, as well as each step along the way. He prepared me for each... step and kept me calm during the stressful situations that came of the conference and documents from the opposing side. Luckily for my anxiety, Jamie was able to settle this for me before it went to the hearing. He answered calls, texts and emails any time of the day, night and weekends. He was kind and compassionate, and listened to all my fears going through with the lawsuit. I always will recommend Jamie to anyone that is encountered with employment discrimination. My family cannot thank you enough!!
