DON AND DENISE FEREN SURVEY

WE FELT THIS WAS HIS MOST IMPORTANT CASE WHEN HE SPOKE TO US ON THE PHONE OR CAME TO US IN THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS FRANK, PROFESSIONAL BUT MORE IMPORANTLY HE MADE US FEEL THAT HE REALLY DID CARE ABOUT US AND OUR SITUATION. HE NEGOTIATED WITH DRIVER INSURANCE COMPANY AND AIR LIFT COMPANY FOR FAIR COST ...FACTORS TO US FOR THEIR SERVICES.

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY

All he did was believe what the prosecution was saying and not defend me at all. He had me accept a plea without explaining all the consequences of the plea. I found everything out after I had accepted the plea and there was nothing I could do about it at that point in time

At Hartwig Law, we take each review seriously, especially in cases of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, because this review was left anonymously, it is difficult to address the specifics of this case. Our office prides itself on effective and consistent communication, which is evidenced in our numerous positive reviews. It is our position to thoroughly review all cases for any legal issues, along with potential outcomes and consequences, and are always discussed prior to discussing plea options. Should the case result in a plea, this information is adequately communicated with the client. At the time the plea is entered into the record, this information is also addressed by the judge and if our client has any misunderstanding or confusion then the hearing is immediately stopped. Likewise, we always express to our clients that we are fully prepared to go to trial. Our office is always available and happy to discuss any issues with current and former clients.

ROBBERY

I hired Attorney Hartwig to handle my father’s serious DUI case and paid $2,500 upfront. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. After I requested basic information about what had been done, the lawyer became rude, yelled during calls, and dropped the case withou...t proper explanation or notice. Then stated I called too much which I respectfully dispute. I have calls records and recordings. He also showed up late to my father’s preliminary hearing. To make matters worse, the receptionist provided conflicting information, causing confusion and stress. Communication was poor, and their handling of the case was unacceptable. I do not recommend this attorney due to their lack of professionalism, poor communication, and failure to responsibly manage a critical legal matter.

Plea deal

I’m sorry but for the $ I paid. He was all too eager for me to plead out without a fight.

Many cases result in a plea deal due to the lack of legitimate defenses. Likewise, not all cases should go to trial and working out a favorable plea deal for a client can take time. At Harwig Law, we always look at every angle of a case, and in some cases a plea deal is in the client's best interest.
