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.
