wonderful outcome

Hiring an attorney was the last thing I wanted to do the day I contacted Aaron Hartley. I had just experienced an, over 2 year, very ugly,expensive divorce and found I was being sued for Contempt of Court . Aaron spoke with me on that call which changed everything . He was compassionate, extremely ...knowledgeable, and always accessible, unlike what I had experienced for 2 years. In fact he called me on his way home from work on a day he was sick. (Who does that )??I knew he had my best interest and the nights of worry and sleeplessness were, in my case gone, just from the assurance and confidence I received from Aaron. I have only one regret, and that is, that I had not asked Aaron to represent me in the beginning of what most people hope they never have to experience, which is finding your life and future in the of hands of the court system. If you are wondering if this is is the best firm to contact, my experience would be an.. Absolutely Yes!!

Amazing!!

Mr. Hartley is an amazing lawyer! I recommend him to anyone that is in need of a great lawyer. He has worked with us in every way. He explains every step that we are taking, and gives you the honest truth! Mr. Hartley works his rear end off to make sure that the right thing always happens. He is hone...st, fast, and quite literally a miracle worker! After years of having lawyers not live up to my standards and let everything under the sun slip through the cracks, Mr. Hartley stopped all that. when anything happened that should not have he did not ignore it, he took immediate action as soon as i called him amd told him the situation. He has literally been a breath of fresh air and someone, that i can say with all confidence, you can put your trust in to make miracles happen. I had everything aginst me, and he turned it all around. I can finally breath easy and my son can too. Thank you so much Mr. Hartley, for all your amd your staffs hard work on our case. you are all the most amazing people I have ever worked with!!! N.Trabert

Granddaughter Custody and Visitation Case

Aaron is an exceptional attorney, and he tells you straight up he makes no promises that things will go the way you want them to but he does promise you he will give it his all and do everything in his power to fight your case and win. He is professional, he knowledgeable, he is real, he tells you li...ke it is, he is a definite family man, who is helpful, one thing for sure he doesn’t give up, and he is there for you anytime, highly compassionate, and extremely caring and understanding. I truly respect him and his staff and I’m comfortable and have complete confidence with knowing he is by my side through my case and grateful to have him as my attorney, and I highly recommend Aaron and so appreciate him, and his staff.

Great Lawyer!!! Glad I hired him!!!

Mr Hartley was amazing! He fought hard for my daughter and myself. I'm proud to have him represent me. He does great at his job and you can feel the warmth his whole office provides. Not only did he go into battle for us I feel I gained a friend in the process. He cares and is easy to know that when ...seeing him in action. Will gladly hire him again if needed.
