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.

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

An angel in disguise

Angela Harley put my mind at ease the minute I walked into her office. I still am in the middle of a custody battle at the time of writing. Ms. Hatley understood that my children and I are victims of domestic violence and never once did I feel uncomfortable about my case. She is generous beyond measu...re with her time and her support. She took the time to tell me about herself and I feel as if I really know her. What a beautiful lady to have on your side. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
