MOST DEFINITELY SATISFIED CLIENT

Mrs Hatley and her firm has been amazing from the beginning. I called her firm January 2021 for a Consultation and the professionalism and compassionate they showed to my family and I in this time of need was warm, and welcoming. Mrs. Hatley listened with concern and understanding. She gave me great ...feedback and explained to me in depth what was to come within this matter. I immediately hired her as your attorney and has been more than satisfied since the date of the consultation. I have recommended Mrs Hatley and her firm to 3 friends. I'm more than happy with the services Mrs Hatley has demonstrated with our case. She performed her job to the upmost, very professional and friendly. I'm so grateful I have Mrs Hatley and her firm representing me in this difficult matter. I cant say thank you enough.

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

The Best

Mrs. Hatley took on my case after my children were given to my their mother who had told the court I was unfit and was never in my children's life. I was so frustrated and upset and before paying Mrs. Hatley a dime she confronted my ex lawyer and told him as soon as she was hired he better be prepare...d because she was going to fight it. AND SHE DID!!!! It took two years, DSS was called on me several times with false allegations, I was put on child support (which Mrs. Hatley also took care of), each time we went to court she reassured me everything was going to be okay. Her patience and knowledge of the law not only turned around the custody order but the Judge granted me SOLE Physical Custody. I'm so thankful God allowed me to hire Mrs. Hatley! And I found her thanks to these reviews. So if you are reading this STOP AND GO HIRE HER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overbooked and careless

I nearly lost custody of my two daughters due to this attorney's carelessness. Underwent an entire staff change inn the middle of my highly contested case, no contact for weeks at a time, incorrect billings, and a NASTY attitude. 0 stars if I could.

Terrible Women

This women had me get every piece of material for the case, she did nothing. Her paralegals has nasty attitudes and slacked on work while complaining about picking up a pencil. She scheduled cases I didn’t know about and the ones which was two, she was unprepared. She never consulted me, and she wast...ed my time and money by quitting 2 days after our trial date which I wanted 6 months for and another case took presidency. My children where taken from me and she did nothing to get them back, not even unsupervised visitation.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
