I was a juror, not a client

I just witnessed, literally today, attorney Hartley's defense of a client in Dodge County. After a 3-day trial, those of us in the Jury Room agreed he did an excellent job of defending his client, despite evidence (and an unforgiving statute) that really made acquittal impossible. (I here selected 'C...onsulted', which did not actually occur, to hopefully get this honest review published.)

Steer Clear

My son hired Atty Hartley in 2020 to defend him in a case. He would never contact my son as to what was happening. They were to appear in court, and my son would not hear from him until that morning. Atty. Hartley never asked for any character witnesses or letters from my sons bosses, landlords, p...arents etc. to be used to show good character for my son. I sent these letters to the office on my own, and inquired as to whether they were received or not. No one ever responded. My son would call me all the time to tell me he has not heard a thing from him, and court was coming up. My son was told they may be going to trial one morning, but did not know for sure, if they would be going or not, but just be ready. But yet, my son had no clue what defense Atty. Hartley was going to even present on my sons behalf. Needless to say, my son became do distraught and worried as to how his case was being handled, with lack of communication, it resulted in my son passing away. I never received ANY communication from this Atty. when he learned of my sons passing. No condolences, no nothing. He did not refund any fees collected, even tho this case never went to completion. Any inquiries i made were never responded to. I highly recommend staying away from Atty. Hartley, as he will not act in your best interest, if he does not feel it is worth his time. He talks a great game to get you to sign on the dotted line, but once signed, you are left hanging with no support or help. Dont waste your money, there are so many others that will actually fight for their clients, not turn a deaf ear.

THE DEFENSE LAWYER IN THE COUNTRY!!!

In 2006 I was facing a maximum of 35 years in prison. After only being in jail for 3 months, I was released on a PR bond, for a 2nd degree felony charge. Long story short, Christopher got me a plee bargain for 2 years probation! Mind you I was facing 35 years in prison!! I give you my word that this ...is the lawyer to hire for any serious charges you may face.
