Family Law Client

I found Mr. Bartlett by a review online search. The best choice I made!! I was seriously losing a custody battle for my 3 year old son to his "attorney" father who knows how to play the game. Mr. Bartlett listened to me and my concerns and cleaned up the mess the previous attorney got me into. I have... sole custody of my son, who is now almost 7. He never made promises other than to do his very best to fight for me. We are still fighting multiple appeals and complaints from my ex-husband, through it all I believe in my attorney and his abilities to do what I hired him to do. Fight my fight..........

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
