Dependable and comes out swinging

I was recommended to attorney Hatley from a few different friends. During a court case (Divorce, Child Custody and Socail Security) Mrs Hatley and her staff worked to ensure that I would not get raked through the coals. A no nonsense lady and roll the sleeves up work ethic. I will always refer others... to her in this or surrounding towns.

Very hardworking lawyer

I hired Angela back in May of 2015 to handle my divorce and during that time there were some charges that were brought on by my husband that were false accusations stating that there had been domestic violence. My husband took my daughter and wouldn't let me know where she was. I was pregnant and sca...red to death. Angela worked very hard to get an emergency custody order to get my daughter back safely. Her and her office worked diligently on my case to dismiss the charges that I was falsely accused of and I was able to move back to my home town. When my baby was born, we went to court for child support and my husband was being difficult about not wanting to pay child support for the baby and even accused the baby of not being his own child. He actually didn't show up for court and lied to a judge about his duties to the Army so that he wouldn't be able to go to court the next day. Angela got us to court the next day and I came out of that court room with a child support order. I was pleased with the work that she did on my case. It has been extremely difficult because I moved out of state but she and her staff has worked hard on my case and I appreciate everything they've done.

Divorce Services

Ms. Angie did an amazing job in handling my divorce and post divorce alimony cases. She aslways kept me up to date on everything and in court she was very professional and poised. Her staff did an awesome job is making sure my thousands of questions were answered quickly and professionally. The recep...tionist made sure to call and remind me of upcoming court dates and times or updates to my case thru the case client site. Definitely would recommend these amazing ladies
