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
