The minute I walked into the law office of Angela Hatley, I knew I was in the right place. I was confused and anxious. A disgruntled parent had turned me into my Professional Board to pursue disciplinary action (the nightmare of all clinicians) and I needed legal representation. Ms. Hatley's staff wa...s warm and inviting. Ms. Hatley entered the room to greet me. She took all my paperwork and files "to read immediately". Within days, my Board had a letter stating she would be representing me, the allegations were false, and she would be on the case to give evidence to this obvious conclusion. Ms. Hatley proved herself to possess the qualities everyone hopes for in their attorney. She was reassuring and in control. Being an RN as well as an attorney, she possesses an impressive competence when working with medical boards. She did not hesitate to immediately schedule a deposition, and was highly skilled when arguing and contesting the information being presented by Board Professionals. She made me feel well defended and protected throughout the process. She eased my fears and was consistently encouraging. My case was dismissed prior to any scheduled Bd. hearings. I am sure this very positive outcome is the direct result of Ms. Hatley's medical and legal expertise. She was strong and confident throughout the proceedings, and I am sure she represents her Family Law cases with equal respect and commitment. I highly recommend her to professionals and families in the Fayetteville area needing legal represent ion.
