Highly satisfied

Mr. Hartnett’s advice and support were critical to getting me through an unwanted employment separation, and the results were well beyond my expectations. Things happened very quickly, and he was always available if I needed to talk. He went out of his way to explain the law and my options, as I kn...ow nothing about employment law. I was struck by how accurately he predicted my employer’s actions and reactions as the situation unfolded. He was honest and realistic, and fought hard for what we determined we could achieve - and we did! Mr. Hartnett is a very kind, approachable, and low-key guy. If you are looking for a shark in a sharp suit, I would not recommend him. But if you want an attorney who will take time with you, not condescend, and stand by you in a crisis, you can’t do better.

Brilliant

A day of despair when I heard the news of my dear relative receiving a negative and very unfair decision from his well-known and very powerful employer, I turned to search for legal advice and found Douglass Harnett. A few months after and when we were losing hope, Doug continued to fight and won wi...th shining colors! Not only my relative's long professional career was reinstated, but his future and that of his loving familiy. Doug, thanks for returning a family's life. We will always remember you!

Excellent legal advice!!!

Mr. Harnett's experience and sound guidance were decisive in the resolution of my case. I am very satisfied with his services, very professional and caring. I made the winning choice in contacting him and will not hesitate to do so again or recommend him to my friends

While trying to maintain a rapport with my opposition, Mr. Hartnett continued work hard to get me fair compensation.

Mr. Hartnett understood the importance for me to maintain a positive rapport with my opposition because of my local relationship. However he knew I desired a positive outcome, and he worked very hard to be fair and create an outcome that was fair to my expectations. This took some time, but he cont...inued to insist on getting a response until the we were successful. His price was reasonable and he kept me informed through out the process. I am grateful.

Friendly, Generous, and Knowledgable EEO/CR Lawyer

Mr. Hartnett is an excellent EEO/CR lawyer. He helped me through a very difficult time. If it was not for his kindness, expertise, and the respect he garnered from my employer I would not have received the nice settlement agreement that I got. The settlement agreement has helped me to not only sur...vive but start to thrive in my job with the same employer. He was also very generous in letting me keep more than my fair share of the settlement agreement, which helped us through that difficult time. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is experiencing discrimination from their employer and needs a friendly, generous, and knowledgable attorney to navigate them through the EEO complaint process.
