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.

Best Lawyer

Hatley Law firm is by far the best in the area. Her professionalism is on point in the court room. She has represented me twice in family court and is hands down the best. I highly recommend her services.

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.

Custody. Best Lawyer

Attorney Hatley is absolutely a great Lawyer. She has been representing me in a custody battle, and I have to say that I am very happy with the results up to now. Her and her staff are very responsive. I feel like all my concerns and issues are addressed in a expedite manner. I was recommended to he...r from another father fighting for custody and I would recommend her to any other parent trying to do the right thing for there children. After investing 6K in my previous layer, he told me that I did not have a chance at primary custody. After I got rid of him and sought out Attorney Hatley representation, the change has been night and day. My child now lives with me. She is vey professional and experienced. You can be assured her and her staff will give you quality service and you will receive a vigorous and thorough representation. I cant say enough about the Hatley law Firm!

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.
