If you have found this review, you may have already won your case!

My experience with the Hatley Law firm has been one to read about. As I write this review, I hope that all who read it, will gain clarity and perspective in their decision-making process. If you are looking for a qualified team to represent you then you have arrived at the right place. My situatio...n like others- was broken and I was in need of real help. I didn’t know where to turn or where to begin. Beginning seemed like an impossibility because so much was coming to an end. But I did my research, took a chance, and walked in their door. My life changed forever. My first visit compromised of meeting the staff and being warmly welcomed into an environment of trust. They knew me because they had been me. During my case the staff had sent me encouraging e-mails and that’s when I found out that the reason for the unexpected atmosphere: Angela Hatley had been intimately involved in helping her staff fight the good fight before they were even her staff. I am so thankful for Angela and her team; Tracy(receptionist), Christi (paralegal), and Leydis (paralegal) were each amazing in their own skillset and helped expedite my case with a sense of urgency and genuine concern. These are amazing ladies! Angela fought for us. Angela listened to me. Angela was invested in my situation outside of things like retainer fees and filing fees. She truly cared about me and my children. She was competent and ready to fight for us. And she did. 20 Days after walking in her office, my case was resolved. I believe that REAL help comes from above. Angela Hatley and her staff was that help for me. They were an answered prayer and I will forever be thankful for each of them. I will remember their names and what they did for us always. If I could reconcile my thoughts about this team and their leader, Angela Hatley, it would be Superlative: Of the highest quality and degree.

Ms Hatley is The Best !

Ms Hatley is THE attorney to retain if you want to win your case. She is very thorough, caring and patient. She took her time to completely explain every step of each process of my custody suit with me. I was attempting to obtain custody of my 10 year old granddaughter and it took 357 days , but Ms H...atley did it ! Not once did we not have My granddaughter with us through the whole ordeal. She was able to obtain the correct paperwork to have her place with us immediately . I cannot say enough good things about her . This was a very emotional case and she was unbelievably patient with me and very very caring. This is the attorney you want trust me. First and foremost has you and your children's best interest .

Best custody lawyer period

Mrs Hatley was recommended to me by a friend of the family. from day one Mrs Hatley assured me that I would get custody of my son and I did. Mrs Hatley knew all the right steps that needed to be done to win in the court room. That was evident in the court room, she was prepared and always confident, ...her cross examination is one to see, along with closing remarks, During trial She was a beast, never allowing any assumptions or false accusations or late paperwork from the ex to be used. Mrs Hatley staff is on point as well, they have been really good with all of the paperwork and her office is family friendly. I am currently in a PCS move and there is a little more to do in the court room, but I can leave with my son and not have any worries that she will continue to represent me in my absence. Thank your Mrs Hatley for helping my son and I. I would recommend Mrs Hatley to everyone, once you retain her you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. Mrs Hatley is experienced with military divorce as well, and she knows all the guidelines. Do yourself a favor and retain her now.
