Outstanding Attorney

Douglass Hartnett is a phenomenal attorney! He was able to take my summary of events and turn them into a concise Prehearing Statement. He was sharp-witted throughout the entire process. Douglass’ keen knowledge of the law was extraordinary. One man opposed the discriminatory actions of an Agency tha...t employed 5000 people and was victorious. I was comfortable at every telephone conference and hearing because Douglass was standing beside me. I followed his advice because I trusted him. Ultimately, we prevailed in the case. I was reinstated to my 6 figure salary with benefits and backpay. This was the best money I’ve ever spent. With Gratitude, Estelle

Excellent service

I worked for DC public school for 27 years, I was out of the job because of a Reduction In Force. Douglas worked tirelessly until I was gainfully employed, retaining all benefits, retro pay and retirement. His professionalism is second to none. Very responsive and reassuring. I highly recommend

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!
