I could not have filed for unemployment without David helping me. He assisted me with all the details and guided through all you have to face when unemployed. I was very nervous and scared; he acted promptly and efficiently so that I was compensated as I searched for my next work home!
Thank you Lynn. It was a pleasure helping you. You were mistreated by your employer and it is always fulfilling to be successful in these types of cases.

Lon-term Representation
David has represented our son for 6 years. He has guided us with our son's special education needs throughout the process. He's probably attended 17 to 20 IEP meetings and pushed the school into doing what they originally refused. He's been available for us after hours and early in the morning. We'v...

Would not recommend
I hired Mr. Harley in October 2018. I paid a fee in advance. He advised that family and health issues were the cause of delays and failure to start my case. When he did return calls, he was always very nice and apologetic but literally never did anything. I finally asked for a refund. He said he wo...
This is a person who had an issue with the school and wanted his school district to stop showing or discussing something news and politically related in the class. I discounted his fees significantly because I wasn't sure he even had a case. After taking his case and realizing the school took corrective action (and being hospitalized in January), there was nothing I could do as a lawyer. I did not charge him any fees. I put in for a full refund to his credit card which he originally used to pay my flat fee.

College Disabilities
I have a disability and anxiety. My university let me take my therapy dog into class along with other accommodations. Then without any discussion the Dean told me not to bring my dog into the class and removed other accommodations. I hired Harley Law and within 2 weeks my accommodations reinstated ...
Thank you. Glad I could be of service.
