Steve saved My life

Mr. Hartman saved my life. He represented me in a criminal case several years ago and when it was over all charges were dropped against me. He is very knowledgeable, he fights super hard for his clients and over all a very excellent attorney and human being. I will forever be grateful to him

Highly Regarded and Recommended

I have used Steve Hartman to represent me on many matters spanning ten years. His personal attention and effectivness have made doing business with him very beneficial. His area of expertise is criminal defense and I understand he is terrific in that area. I have used is services for many legal ma...tters other than criminal defense. He represented my companies in real estate and asset acquisitions, as well as human resources area, and probate and estate matters. All handled well and we see a longstanding future relationship.
