Excellent Lawyer

Mrs. Hatley is a very knowledgeable and competent lawyer. She was always friendly and answered all my questions patiently. She worked very hard to get all the information she needed to settle my complicated lawsuit and she reached a satisfactory settlement for me out of court.

Worst mistake ever

Lazy and did nothing..save your money folks. If I could've went another route I would've. She has not done anything to help my case

Posted by Nelia S. | February 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Honest, Trustworthy, and Dedicated Attorney

I hired Mrs. Hatley for my case and she successfully settled my case. I recommend her for being honest and for being a great lawyer. She was trustworthy with my payments and even refunded an amount that I overpayed. I am fully satisfied with her service and professional and empathetic attitude.

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.

Posted by Dan | February 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Thanks for your help.

Mrs. Hatley pursued my as if it were her own. She achieved every result I asked for and did it at a very reasonable price, about 60% of what other lawyers quoted me when I hired her. There was no surprises or hidden costs, the retainer I paid covered my entire case that took over three years.
