Highly recommend
The best attorney in town. Mr. Hastings made me feel comfortable and confident in going to court and winning the case.

FANTASTIC PERSON!!!
I was referred to Mr. Hastings from an acquaintance and spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone with him for a free consultation. Even though my issue was not in his realm of expertise, he NEVER ended the call before making sure I had the proper advise and recommendations for further assistance. 100/100...

My attorney was a God send....
During a very difficult time, Justin became a source of knowledge and relief. Handling all matters very professionally, he set me at ease and explained things thoroughly so that I could make the best decisions for myself. Free consultation was not rushed, fees were explained and were very reasonable...

Justin
Who really wants to or thinks they will go through a divorce? Justin was upfront made us aware and made sure we understood everything at every point. Justin is very REAL, he will not only lead you in the RIGHT direction but also make you aware of why.
