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.

I just want to express my sincerest gratitude towards Angela Hatley and her excellent staff! I can't say enough about them. I'm a single father who had his kids taken from about a month ago due to serious allegations which involved: -potential criminal child abuse charges -restraining order -two of m...y family members testifying against me -Court continued 3 weeks in a row (During which I was never able to address the allegations once) -DSS worker who stated on the stand, "High concerns" with my children living with me, that she recommended I should "undergo anger management classes before I was allowed unsupervised visitation." During those three weeks of continued heartbreak I was so anxious to plead my case I actually stood up before the judge without being called on and was almost held into contempt. I'm so thankful for Mrs. Hatley's diligence for calming me down and reiterating the importance for me to control my emotions. She was very patient and understanding with me(even though I was so emotional I had an attention span like a fish). It turns out I NEVER EVEN HAD TO TESTIFY! The confidence and experience of Mrs. Hatley controlled the courtroom, and exposed all these allegations to be non credible, despite what DSS had said. She demanded respect in the court room, while she talked no one dared interrupt. The criminal abuse charges were dropped, anger management dropped, and was awarded primary custody of my kids. I NEVER EVEN HAD TO TESTIFY! GOD IS SO GRACIOUS TO HAVE LED ME TO MRS. HATLEY! Despite my constant worrying, I truly felt that Mrs Hatley shared my grief with me, and took my case personal and to her own heart. All the while I was so anxious to plead my case I almost got held into contempt for speaking without being called, when all along I didn't have to be anxious on nothing, but pray and put my faith in God. God had mrs. Hatley do all the talking for me, and I'm so greatful to HIM for her. If your not confident in your case because the world seems to be against you, consult the Hatley Law firm! Thank-you and God Bless

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.

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!
