Child Custody modification

Hatley Law Firm is truly an untapped resource in Fayetteville! From first consultation to the final signed product between myself and ex-wife for child custody modification I feel well represented. I previously sought other law firms for my issue, upon my consultation with Atty Flowers I wanted Hatle...y Law to represent me. I am certain Atty Flowers went out of her way (to include all her clients) in every area of my case also working during off hours on my behalf. Citizens of Fayetteville don't waste your time with large advertising firms, Hatley Law went against one of those firms and I came out with every I needed and with items I did not anticipate. In the event I need legal representation I will contact Atty Flowers and no-one else. My only true regret I did not use Hatley Law during my original divorce case. Finally Hatley Law is not overpriced as the other 3 large law firms I paid for consultations. USE HATLEY LAW TODAY!!!

Divorce

Wow!! Ms. Hatley was an angel sent from heaven to me during my divorce. I was a total mess, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, etc. Her comfort and assurance meant the world to me in my time of hopelessness. True to her words, Ms. Hatley got me all I was entitled to, and more. She worked hard for me to ...reap what I had sowed into a marriage of 38 yrs. I highly recommend Ms. Hatley!

Strong Endorsement from Single Military Father

I have been a client of Ms Hatley since 2008. Angela with out a doubt is the best lawyer I have ever known and I have worked with many in my professional career and my personal situations. With her help we started with me having my daughter being taken from me by my x in a very underhanded way after ...my 15 month brutal deployment to Iraq to later my obtaining custody. As with all service members and being male in a town like Fayetteville the cards were definitely stacked against me. But angela and I never gave up during the 3 year battle. She worked a payment program with me because I was In a bad financial situation due to having to pay child support and my x leaving me with numerous unpaid bills and expenses. Over time we slowly build a strong case. I never in my wildest dreams thought we would win but we did. Now years later my daughter and I are thriving and I have been promoted numerous times and my life and career is on track. Some day I might write a book on my experiences to help service members going thru divorce and custody. Angela and I have kept a strong relationship to this day and age checks on us. I have also kept employing her services as residual situations with my x continue ie her not paying child support. I would recommend one approach divorce like a long war and build a strong relation with your lawyer. Angela gets that and never leaves your side. Also do not go info this fight on the cheap or you will not win. I basically knew this would be the case. All in all I spent approx $15k over the three years and was given time after to pay it off. It was worth every penny and I don't pay child support. In fact I get a check every month.

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.

A light

I have had three attorney's in Cumberland county since 2013. WITH one of my attorneys dropping me just two weeks before my trial. I wish I would have know about Ms. Hatley and I know I would have done do much better than 1 dollars of alimony of per month after 23 years of marriage. I hired Ms. Hathe...y for an order for a concent to allow me to leave NC and she found a mistake that my second attorney did not catch and fixed that and then took my case an I am happy with how she has held my hand over the months. I have been fighting with the ex and she kept me calm over these months. I feel she is an amazing attorney that made time for me and my case at times on Sunday and just needed an update with an email from her person email. HIRE her and she is wonderful is the advise I would give anyone. If I need help with anything else in Cumberland Co. I will hire Ms Hatley. Cindy
