As a criminal defense lawyer, I am committed to listening to my clients to learn who they are and what their story is all about. Learning my client's story is how I can best educate judges, prosecutors, juries, and the media.

I have worked hard to develop a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work, taking into account the many factors that contribute to a situation where someone finds themselves accused of a crime. A client's future is critically important to me and I will go to extreme lengths within the confines of the law and my ethical duties to assist each client.

I am licensed to practice law in both Kansas and in Missouri.

Home with my girls

I really want to thank Mark Hartman. For representing me on my case he went as far as looking for best way to win my case and k was happy gor the outcome, even then Mr Hartman was willing to fight in a appeal but i was happy i didn't go to prison. In which case led me to spend all my time with my girls "Daughters" which need me more at home than behind bars for that i want to thank you again Mark.

Extremely Excellent

Mr. Hartman paid special attention to every detail of my case. He kept communication open for me and made sure that I was aware every step of the way and made sure that I understood all aspects of what would and could happen. I don't live close, Mr. Hartman made sure I didn't have to make too many trips out of my way. Any questions I had were answered before I could even ask and I was confident with knowledge given. Mr. Hartman was greater than I expected and better than I could have imagined, even with the pandemic going on around us all. I am very thankful and appreciative of my services!!

The best around

I’ve been sitting here tying to write this review, but I honestly don’t know how to put my experience into words. I just know if it wasn’t for Mark my situation would have been a lot worse. He’s honestly a god send. And I’ll probably never be able to repay him for the hard work he’s done on my behalf. So all I can do is thank him.

Mark Hartman...Lawyer of integrity!

Honestly i can go on and on about Mark Hartman from the vibe you get when u shake his hand to how he handles adversity in the courtroom, but one factor about him that stands out to me is his overall willingness to do right. He listened to me, digested every piece of info i bestowed , tactically came up with of course of action, and told me he would do everything he can to ensure that my case would be handled fairly and I would have a positive outcome. In the short amount of time I had to know him he gained my confidence my complete support and overall respect. Thank you Mark Hartman your future is bright as a lawyer.

#1 recommended attorney

Mark has been an awesome attorney for me. Even after I was sentenced and moved out of town he has stuck his neck out with any and all questions and concerns. He's always quick to return my calls. Has no problem calling probation officer's and getting in contact with the courts on my behalf. He is the best attorney I have ever had. I would be in prison by now if it wasn't for him going to battle for me.

BEST OF THE BEST

I had been getting the run around with my case and after a year of back and forward with my case I was assigned Mark. Believe me when I say that he is the truth that is exactly what he is. He worked hard on my case night and day literally. It was said the robbery was commited around 2:50am I believe and I had got off work around 2:42am. He met with me at 2am to follow up with time and distance. He walked through everthing step by step with me and drove from the job to the scene and ultimately that is what won my case. He was real and he was on it. There was no leaving messages and waiting for days or weeks to hear back. The level of communication was amazing I truly am grateful for everything he did. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to win.

Sincere Thanks

Mr Hartman was hired on as a public defender lawyer in our case . He was well knowledgeable of the entire case and went well above and beyond to ensure his client got the best representation as if we had hired him personally. He did not hesitate to make himself available for us at any time. The outcome could’ve been so much worse but I thank God for him and all he did for us . There are not enough words to describe the anxiety one may feel when their loved one could be taken away. Mr. Hartman was upfront and always honest . Thank you again for all you did on his behalf Sincerely Tiffanie Bryant And Bobby Prince Jr.

BEST LAWYER EVER!

I used to call public defenders, public pretenders till I met this guy! He was my lawyer this year in my distribution case and not one did he work his butt off to get me the best deal, he always returned my phone calls in the same day and was a great support system! He believed in me when I wasn’t even sure I believed in myself which made me believe In myself. If it weren’t for this am I would be serving 16 years + in prison right now.
