James David Hartt

I called James Hartt because I believed I was discriminated against and was denied a job because of it. I explained the situation in detail to Mr. Hartt and, he felt it was a case worth fighting. (As did I) He was well educated in procedures, legalities, technicalities, and was incredibly helpful in... breaking down the process to me. Any time there was any communication between the employer, other attorneys, and the court, James was quick to inform me of what was going on. I was well aware there was a chance the court might not rule in my favor. However, I was extremely confident Mr. Hartt would handle this case professionally and with extreme care. During the age of COVID it was quite refreshing to have someone as compassionate and dedicated to your case like Mr. Hartt. James never quit working this case from the moment he took it on, until the moment it was finished. He went to bat for me when no one else would and won. I could not be happier with the work that James and his team put into my case. The outcome was far greater than I could have ever hoped for. I would recommend Mr. James Hartt to anyone who is in need of a lawyer who will fight FOR YOU, who will educate, offer compassion, and honesty every step of the way. My family and I are grateful for everything he has done for us.

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!

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.

I used mr hart make sherry to never send him the payment till he sends copies of agreement because on phones mr hart will make it sound like he represents you to the end but only does the litigation part not any of the. In court part for the $2500 it is another $5000 after the litigat...ion an dose not do the appeals after the phone conference don't no. If this is his line with every one but he did the ur in the 10percent that do have a case

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!!!
