James David Hartt

I hired James Hartt to represent me against a government agency for violating my human rights as a female with a disability. I hired him for a second case against my employer for retaliation. Both cases were dismissed as NPC. I have a third retaliation case pending with the NYSDHR and will not ha...ve Mr. Hartt represent me again. He did very little in either case; albeit the minimum required which was basically copying and pasting my written complaint into legal format. He added very little to the fact finding conference that took place failing to point out anything relevant or pertinent to my case. He was inconsistent with his information yet consistent with making excuses each time I had a question or need. Several thousand dollars wasted only to be failed in both cases.

I had the privilege of being represented by James D. Hartt in three separate lawsuits, and we won every single one of them. James is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and relentlessly dedicated to his clients. From the start, he was honest, thorough, and always made sure I understo...od every step of the process. What impressed me most was his preparation and confidence in the courtroom. He fought for me like it truly mattered, and the results speak for themselves. If you need an attorney who combines experience, compassion, and real results, James D. Hartt is the one you want on your side.

I paid Mr. Hartt with Cashiers Checks. Not only did I NOT obtain a written contract or ITEMIZED BILL. As far as I know, almost at the six year point, after I called Mr. Hartt. HE DID NOTHING! NO ITEMIZED BILL, NO WRITTEN CONTRACT. I complained to the attorney grievance committee & their respo...nse wasn’t commensurate considering his misconduct according to the NYS Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct. What made it worse? I consulted with a female attorney at the Cohen & Lombardo Firm, (ironically the same firm that served process for my landlord’s eviction proceeding where I had affirmative defenses against the eviction,) they lied & said Mr. Hartt did “nothing wrong.” My file was “mysteriously” missing. Mr. Hartt...what did you do to “earn” what I paid you?

I hired James to bring a Sexual Harassment claim against my then-current employer. After the claim was filed with New york State Human Rights Division, my boss concocted a false reason for firing me. James added Retaliation to the claim and made them pay for that obvious retaliation. I’m extremely d...elighted with his professional services and the quality of his work.
